    Went by a couple of Targets in my area today. They were putting up the displays and one already had the Voyagers & Leaders out. I asked one of the workers about the Exclusives, and he showed me a sign. On the back, it stated "Revenge of the Fallen Superion Combiner $29.99". The worker told me that in 1-2 weeks they were having a "coupon day" and they would be put out then. Not sure if news, and really a HETELLME, but thought it was very interesting.

    There's a place in my town that gets salvage merchandise from stores that burn, flood, etc. Well, they just got a HUGE shipment from Target, and I found ROTF Leaders Prime and Megs for $20.00 each. Their boxes were a little mangled, but they looked fine.

    I can confirm that the Target in Louisville, KY (near Jefferson Mall) has ROTF figures. It seems like Wave 1. I didn't see any preview figures.

    I went to wal-mart to pick up a few things, decided to go down the toy aisle and they had so many revenge of the fallen up. I saw someone filling up two shopping carts with deluxes, voyager and leaders.

    My local Target is now officially stuffed to the gills with ROTF toys. Two endcaps and the normal TF section are all packed with stuff. They have wave 1 of the Voyagers and Scouts, Leader class Megatron and Optimus, FABs and other spin-off lines that I don't care about, and wave 2 of the deluxes (with a few preview figures shoved way to the back of the pegs on the endcap). Not a single wave 1 deluxe in the place. Very disappointing as one of the only two movie toys I want is Sideswipe. :banghead:

    Wow they need to be kicked in the nuts. It's ridiculous that kids not only have we fans and collectors to deal and contend with but also the scalpers. Poor kids never had a damn chance.:(

    They can then say. "NON-scalped parties! WOOOOOO!!!! Everywhere has sold out but we still have ours."

    Walmart has them for $11.88. How much are they at Target?

    Was just at WalMart, and the pegs and shelves were full. No scalpers to be seen, and I picked up Chromia and Rampage. :D

    I just blew $150 at my local Target.

    They had about 50 Soundwaves and 50 Bumblebees on the pegs. It was literally a wall of these two figures.

    They also had the Leaders/Voyagers/Deluxes/Scouts out that I picked up a few days ago elsewhere already.

    NO SIGN of Superion :(
