I am in Lafayette right now. I think the "Ambassador Target" refers to the Target in Lafayette that is on Ambassador Caffery. I'm one of the posters on the tfw2005 board, where I think you saw this posted.

Yea, I believe I did see that info on tfw2005. I think I also remember reading on tfw2005 that some stores in Monroe also had the PRID figures.

Picked up PRID Voyager Prime, deluxe Cliffjumper, and deluxe Wheeljack at the TRU in Lafayette. And all for the low price of.. $61! I'm done with buying these things from TRU. Their markup is effing ridiculous!

Raided the TRU on Siegen (Baton Rouge) this evening, walked off with Deluxe Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Soundwave, and Wheeljack - all for the low, low price of $14.99 each! /sarcasm

There's 1 left of BB, CJ, and WJ. No other RID figures in sight.

Who wants to hear a funny(not) story about my adventure to target tonight? So I stopped by the Target on vets to see if they put out any Prime figs tonight. Browsed the shelves; nothing new. So I went to one of the price checkers and punched in the the DPCI for PRID deluxe figures. "Stockroom: Yes"! Okay, great, now time to find an employee and talk him into getting them for me. I find a guy working in the toys section and I tell him I'm looking for the Transformers Prime toys. He's eyes get wide and he says "You mean,like, the new cartoon?? I didn't think those were out yet." I tell him that I punched in the DPCI and it said they were in the stockroom. So he pulls out his handheld scanner and punches in the numbers. Again, his eyes get wide. He looks up a me and smiles "Nope! Nothing matching! Sorry!" and he walks off. I know this effer is lieing but theres nothing I can do about it. I decide to walk around a bit and I notice that the same employee is watching me from down the aisles! Really creepy... He doesn't stop watching me until im down the esclator and almost out the door! So yeah; I'm pretty sure theres a fat, balding, Target employee blowing his load over a box of deluxe prime toys right now. A-hole... >:(

Found Prime deluxe figures at the Target at Esplanade Mall. I gave an employee the DPCI and he grabbed a brand new box out of the stockroom for me. (He was much nicer than the guy from last night btw.) I grabbed Soundwave, Cliffjumper, and Wheeljack. Not sure if they had any more boxes in the back though. After I was done picking the ones I wanted he brought the box back in to the stockroom.

Also, I stopped by TRU on Vets today and gave customer service the item number for PRID deluxe figures. She told me the truck that's coming in tomorrow will have them. PRID cyberverse figures are on the shelves as we speak.

Found the Prime Deluxes and Cyberverse figures at the TRU on Vets. I got the last Soundwave, but there were still plenty of Wheeljacks, BB's, and Cliffjumpers left. Didn't see any Voyagers, but neither of them interest me (I have FE Prime, and I'm waiting to see if Takara goes the extra mile and actually paints Megs silver).

I also saw the Bot Shots figures. They're pretty nifty little guys. I got Barricade, Prime, and Starscream. They were 5 bucks a pop which I actually don't think is that bad.

Picked up Voyager OP and Megatron at Target in Esplanade Mall today. Had to give someone the DPCI and bring it from the stock room.

It looks like each box is 1 Megatron and 3 OP. There's 2 OP left.

Passed by the TRU on Vets and saw that they had the Powerizers out. Well...Optimus was there (three of them). I asked the clerk if there were any in the back. She checked the system and there weren't. So yea...three Powerizer Primes are there. It was also interesting to see that they had moved the Transformers section one aisle closer to the exit. Despite being moved, the TF section was pretty much picked clean. Only Prime Deluxes that were left are (of course) Bumblebee. Very few Cyberverse figures there as well.

Gonna pass by Target in a few since I have to pick my phone up from the Sprint across the street. I passed by Target Sunday and the figures weren't there (even had an employee run the DCPI's). Who knows, if I see Megatron in person, maybe the pain aps won't look so bad.

I was there around 3pm today, no PRID figures at all. I did manage getting a DOTM Guzzle. TRU must've stocked later in the day, because I was there before going to Target. Good luck!

I didn't ask any associates if anything was in the back, so maybe that is the proper method. But I already got the Deluxes last week, and Voyagers are sitting at BBTS. I'm looking for they Cyberverse figs, but can wait it out.

TRU in Baton Rouge has some BotShots & PRID. They had about 2-3 of each BotShot (except for only 1 Sentinel.) For PRID, there were 3 OPs, 1 Megs, 1 Bee, 1 Cliffjumper, & 2 Wheeljackies.

You must have just missed the PRID figures at Target too dude. When I passed there, they had a few Cyberverse figures out. No Deluxe or Voyager figures though. I asked an associate to find out if there were any in the back, gave him the DCPI, and even though his scanner said they were in the back, apparently they weren't.

Oh well, I can be patient. I scored Wheeljack and Soundwave last week so I'm still trying to wait for Takara's take on Voyager Megatron before biting the bullet on the Hasbro release. [-(

Found the Cyberverse Prime Commanders at the Walmart in Elmwood. There weren't very many, and I confess that I bought Megatron, Bulkhead, Prime, and Starscream. There's just one Cyberverse Commander Prime left, but the lady who worked there said they were going to get another shipment Tuesday.

I'm still not having any luck finding Voyager Megatron either. Everywhere I go has the Voyager Optimus figure, but no Megatron. It's getting a little annoying...

Thanks for the heads up Sith. I didn't see any Voyager Megatrons at the TRU on Vets, but I did manage to find the last Megatron at the Walmart on Vets. As a bonus, I also snagged the last Legends Class Vehicon!

Glad I could help. I consider it a positive to get any toy at WM/Target instead of TRU. TRU prices are ridculous.

Has anyone seen any PRID Ratchet figures? I checked Target and TRU last night and didn't see anything noteworthy. Ratchet is the last figure I need to complete the main Autobot cast.

Anyone here planning on attending BotCon this year and wants to road trip? I'm planning on heading up Thursday morning, leave Sunday afternoon. Please PM if interested, serious inquiries only.

On topic, I finally picked up Cyberverse TFP Arcee, Ratchet, and Vehicon this past Friday at he Algiers Wal-Mart. They had a few more BB and CJs, and sprinked in some of the Deluxe figures and Voyager Prime. Looking forward to Arcee and Ratchet, but more excited to know when the Takara versions start shipping (pre-ordered the whole Dlx/Voyager line back in Jan or Feb).

Hey guys, I know this isn't really a Transformers sighting, but if any of you happen to pass by the Power Rangers Samurai section of your stores, keep an eye out for the Octozord with the Gold Ranger. This is the one toy keeping my stepson from putting together the ridiculous Gigazord and I refuse to pay $50+ on eBay for it.

As for Baton Rouge sightings, TF Prime has been trickling in very slowly here. Only a handful of the RID deluxes have been spotted, though oddly there's PLENTY of Bumblebee to go around. The Cyberverse toys and Voyagers are at just about every store in the area now.

Now I'm just holding out for Generations Shockwave.

Just picked up Dlx Ratchet at Target on Vets; now I need to find Arcee. There are still BB, Cliff, Wheeljack, and 1 Soundwave if anyone is interested.

TRU on Vets had some Voyager Primes, Dlx BBs, and all 4 Cyberverse Commanders for $11.99 each, but only 1 each of Bulkhead, Megatron, and Starscream. I didn't pick them up because I'm hoping to wait until the other stores carry them for $9.99.

Still haven't managed to find PRID Ratchet or PRID Arcee. Target on Vets has nothing but the usual millions of BB's and Primes. TRU on Vets also showed no sign of PRID Wave 2. There were, of course, tons of Primes and BB's. I did see ONE lone Megatron though.

For anyone interested in the Rescue Bots, though, TRU on Vets had the elusive Blades figure. I got one, so there should be one left.

Nabbed TF Prime Arcee and ratchet from the Wal Mart on Tchop in Nawlins.. Arcee ROCKS!!! IMHO Ratchet is too small..
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.
