Great news- used the stock numbers and came away with both Voyager Optimus and Megs, and deluxe Wheeljack and Cliffjumper! I was so stked. Pretty much every Target I checked was extremely helpful (I checked like 4 or 5). Haven't found a Soundwave yet though- still looking.

On a separate note, does anyone know if the RID Bulkhead ad Voyager Starscream are part of the 1st wave? Seems Megs and Optimus are the only voyagers available currently.

Thanks

You're very close.

3x Bumblebee
2x Cliffjumper
1x Soundwave
2x Wheeljack

Vehicon will be next wave, most likely. I'm assuming Arcee will be as well. Or Ratchet.

Actually, Wave 2 is Arcee and Ratchet. Wave 3 includes Knock Out, Vehicon, and Hot Shot.

I'm going to go try this in a few minutes and see what I come out with. Hope I don't leave the store empty handed.

Because I'm exceedingly stubborn, went back to my nearest Target today, went to Guest Services and asked the person up front to check.

Unlike her co-workers of the previous days, she actually radioed the stock room and went back to get a box for me.

Finally snagged my Soundwave and also grabbed a Wheeljack since she was willing to walk all the way back there for me.

Strangest part: I didn't do anything different than the past couple times, so it's not so much the store as the PERSON you ask.

Well my trip was totally.......rewarding.

I go to the shelves, as expected, the Prime figures aren't there. I tell the lady at the customer service desk that they aren't back there, and she asks if I have the number (that El Duque gave us). Well no shit I had it. She put it in and she said that there was 8 in stock (the Bees x3, Cliff & Wheeljack x2, and Soundwave x1 = 8, duh). So she gave me this little reciept with the stock room floor where the figures are stored and said she'd send someone to help me.

I'm waiting a half hour and nobody comes, so I ask the next damn target worker that passes me. She takes my reciept and goes in the back room, and opens up the box. She takes it to me and tells me to pick what I want. All the figures were there, but sadly, I only had enough for one. Since I already had Cliffjumper, I hate Bumblebee's figure, Soundwave had only one figure in the box, and I needed a 'con, I grabbed Soundwave.

Well, now Cliffjumper has someone to epically get killed by. Thanks El Duque!

Well, after a week of no results, I finally got Toys R Us to check the back and they had a box of the Voyagers. I snagged Megatron. That was Valentine's Day.

Today, I finally got Target to do the same and got Optimus. Thing is, Toys R Us is now charging $26.99 for Voyagers, while Target's are still only $19.99. My advice everyone, stick to Target or Walmart for Prime figures unless you absolutely can't find them there and only at TRU.

Selah.

Haven't had any bad luck with Target yet. I got Soundwave, Wheeljack, and Megatron using El Duque's strategy.

If any can tell me what they said that would be very helpful.
Ps. I can't use stuff like my son wants one or something like that because I'm 15.

I feel your pain. I too am 15 and was nervous to know what the outcome would be. I just say:

"Hi, I went online to target.com, putting this DPCI (the number El Duque gave us) in, searching for a certain line of figures called Transformers: Prime. It said this store had them in stock. However, I went back to the shelves and there were none. Maybe they are in the back?"

Usually, they'll give you a reciept that has the stock room location that these figures would be stored. They'd tell you to go to Electronics and give this to the guy/girl that is posted there. They will go get a box for you, open it up, and let you pick what you want. Or you could tell them the name of a specific toy you want (i.e Soundwave) and they'll bring that one.

But it all depends on who you talk too. Watch out for the grumpy old people at CS. They're too dedicated to their job to give it to you and will make you wait until February 29th. Happened to me once.

If none of that works, have your mom go in and tell them that she wanted to buy this for her 6-year-old son's birthday. Should touch some hearts

Good luck!

sweet, going to give the codes a shot tomorrow
