Prime toy release date

Postby dinojack86 » Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:17 am

Are we still looking at a March release date or are they coming out this month (Feb)? Every store I've been in has been just about cleared of all TF toys so I can only assume they're prepping to put out Prime stuff any time now.

They're in many stock rooms right now. I purchased wave 1 Deluxes and Voyagers this weekend at Target, but I had to have them pulled from the back. These don't have a street date, so if you can find someone to retrieve them for you there should be no problem with purchasing them.

How do you even get them to check the back? Everywhere I go, I'm told they can't do that, or "If it isn't out here, we don't have it." What do you ask them to get them to check the stock?

This. I tried at 4 Targets last week and was told that only leads were allowed to check in the back or that if it wasn't out on the shelves, they didn't have it/couldn't sell it.

I just walked up the customer service desk and gave them these two numbers 087-06-0546 (Deluxe) and 087-06-0807 (Voyager). I told them their online system said they had these in stock and I would like to purchase them. He looked them up and verified they were in-stock, called someone in toys who brought out a case of each and let take what I wanted. I guess it just depends on the store you go to.

Here are a couple of useful links to check the availability at Target. Just plug your zip in.

Good luck, just be friendly and you might mention there are no street dates on these.

I don't know, it worked like a charm for me. Did they actually check in the back?
