I'm not a fan of Target to begin with, but when they are charging $17+ for deluxes it's even easier to avoid them. Boycott them? Walmart has been serving me quite well recently, with occasional trips to TRU.

TF collector from the Illinois chapter just recently moved up here 3 months ago. Looks like there isn't as many collectors up here in the frozen north. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up, TRU in Burnsville has Grimlock in stock and the wave containing Ultra Magnus. Along with the current Beast Hunters wave, including voyager Predaking and two FE Bulkheads.

Welcome to MN! I see you and I will be competing for the stock in the Burnsville TRU.

How many FOC Grimlock? Did you get any? I am really looking forward to obtaining a Grimlock.

Welcome! There's a few of us around, though I don't hunt as much as I use to with the price increases. (Still $15 for a deluxe, with a voyager just at $20.) We drop a line on sightings from time to time. Are you on the south side of the cities, then, Gorechyld?

Along the line of sightings, the same day my BBTS order of Ravage, Ratbat, and the Rumble/Frenzy data discs came in I found 3 FoC Soundwave and 1 FoC Soundblaster along with a full peg of data discs at the Target in Brooklyn Park. The rest is very picked over, but I didn't see any beast hunter stuff yet. I might pick up the cyberverse commanders like Hun Gurr.

I'm "up" here in Bloomington, just off Lyndale by Captain Jacks Comics. Can definitely say, its nice living 5-20 minutes away from three different TRU's and TWO comic shops that cater to figures. Back home I had ONE TRU in town, and the next were either 45 minutes or an hour away from where I lived.

As for number of Grimlocks in Burnsville, there was three, I snatched one and the only Blaster on the shelves. Can definitely say I second guessed getting him, just cause he's voyager size and I'm not to partial to the gimmick. But after reading his bio I had to have him, some genius actually made the toy have its own personality aside from "Blaster is X and X is why he fights Decepticons"

As for the Beast Wars stuff, you guys can help yourselves to it. I am staying sooooo far away from that line its not even funny. Generations are pretty much my target, in fact its all my collection is comprised of, aside from Prime Arcee and third party stuff.

Welcome to this frozen land. I am a little bit north of you so my sightings are pretty much around Plymouth, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, and Minnetonka.

Did some quick sightings few days ago at Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park Walmarts and they pretty much had nothing. Plymouth Target is quite empty also but they have two Beast Hunters Smokescreen with that jet play set thing.

Plymouth Target has one FOC Soundwave, one Soundblaster, and the discs. They also have the new Bot Shots (including the dragon set, Stunticons set, etc) which I don't care that much.

I've been all over the south metro lately and have seen lots of the new botshots (including dragons) and lots of the deluxe Beast Hunters. A couple of places had plenty of Soundwaves and discs. No Grimlocks, though a buddy in New Ulm found two and picked one for me!
