    I have two unopened Spinisters and Crosshairs (forgot to cancel my Amazon pre-orders before they shipped). I will check the tape on them when I get home. One set came from Target and the other from Amazon; I know which is which. If anyone wants a Spinister and Crosshairs before I return one set to Target speak up. - Returned to Manassas Target

    Edit:
    All four have a single piece of tape in all four places on the boxes. Nothing hanky about it. Like GoLion said, it maybe a factory thing. Most likely they left out something during production/packaging and had to correct it.

    I don’t know if it was double taped on the bottom, but the top was. It ripped the cardboard almost halfway down the back.

    One Spinister at Skyline Target. As far as I could tell, it didn't look like anything weird was up with the box tape.

    Seven Corners Target has 2 Apefaces, 2 Crosshairses, and a random Smashdown (which I only mention because I haven't seen many of him) buried behind a bunch of more common Battlemasters.

    The Willow Lawn Kroger has a Star Wars display (in the frozen food aisle, near the frozen bread) with some Star Wars black series on it. Its the wave with the Battle Droid (from the prequels) and they have 2 of them. Didn't check price.

    The Ollie's in Henrico had nothing really Transformers wise. Was hoping to find the Leader Megatron and Dragonstorm.

    West Broad Street Hobbytown has Figurise Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Zi-O, and the three base forms of W. They also had LBX, Omegamon, and some weird Sergent Froggy/Keroro Gunso group pirate ship model kits.

    Yeah, they had a few of each about a month ago, but they’d been sold last I checked a week or so ago.

    West Chester Commons got the series 3 Botbots blind packs. No doubles and I took the pacifier, baby crib, building blocks, and the snowman ones. Sadly no pumpkin one which I was hoping to find.

    Just picked up Rung and Spinister at the Pembroke Target in VB.
    They had an unopened case of Siege Leader Class figures on a pallet that was being worked, so I'm assuming that there was an Astrotrain in it.

    So far I have not been to a Target that has gotten any Astrotrains. They are getting cases packed with Shockwave and Ultra Magnus. So far only Walmart has been getting Astrotrain and not many have.

    Still no 35th figures at Zion Crossroads Walmart.

    But there are 3 SS54 Megatrons and a Mixmaster. They're 7 rows over on an aisle with a mishmash of lines/genres of toys, aisle I3. The TF section is in aisle I10.

    There are a ton of Rungs at the Reston Target. I grabbed one but there were quite a few left.
