All i can say is i want him .My sister works at Target and have not even seen him yet ,but even if she does someone will just buy them all before i could even get there . I hate that fans can't find him ,but greedy sellers can ,that just "Grind My Gears" .

@Waverider 01 .I would just like to say ,sorry . I was just venting cause i have not seen him yet ,and everybody began to complain about "Sellers" and it brought me back to the Generations line .The prices on ones like Wreck-Gar ,just skyrocketed so fast ,that i thought "oh great here we go again ". It is none of our business what you do with the three you found ,you bought them. I didn't mean any harm with my post, i meant it not to be taking so serious ,note the Peter Griffin quote .

Really the guy bought 3, how about leaving some for the other collectors out there you selfish bastard. Buy one maybe 2 if theres a good amount then wait for another shipment to get another dont be so fracking greedy, this is one of the reasons why its so hard to find wheeljack, warpath and many other figures right now. That and there just arent enough shipments being sent out and/or ordered. This is also a big reason as to why store exclusives suck, either scalpers grab them all & put em on ebay at retarded prices or all the collectors start fighting over then cause the store only gets a few.

I think you guys should lay off this user. Many of these items sold this way get to our overseas friends. We live in a capitalist society and Targets are a dime a dozen. This happens with each and every hot figure. Best way to beat a "scalper", is just to beat them at their own game. Instead of complaining about it and being upset, get down to your local Target and pick one up. There's little point to villainizing someone for providing a service that helps other collectors get their hands on these figures that feel there is a value in paying for secondary market prices.

Don't want to pay marked up eBay prices? Wait a few weeks to find the figure cheaper. The DPCI number was posted in this topic ... go to your local Target, give them the DPCI (or better yet go to a Target that has the price checkers where you can input the DPCI number yourself to verify their stock), and you too can have HA Leadfoot in your hands before the day is over.

That's nothing. It's 9.75% where I live in Illinois.

I live in barrie ontario
We don't have a target
We have Zellers
they barely get the exclusives

Zellers was bought by Target, or Target is buying some of their stores or something major like that. Canada will have Targets within the next couple of years.

In the meantime, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Target exclusive figures start showing up at Zellers stores over the course of the next year or so.

Target usually creates stock piles in the back stock room & releases store exclusives on set nationwide strict release dates.

Target tries really hard to release store exclusives on the same excat day nationwide in america.

MY GUESS: since this guy who has the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoots days/weeks before anyone else. this can only mean he acquired the toys by either tricking a store employee to grab the item from the back stock room against strict release dates. or he's a target employee who searched in the back stock room for these 3 items against the strict toy release dates.

INSTEAD of calling the guy names. why not just do the mature thing & call the target store from the guys receipt. then notify this store that their is a employee or customer that is acquiring stuff against the strict store release dates.

UPDATE: I just took a second look at that receipt. the guy apparently used his credit card to pay for the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoot's. so if he got them illegially against store release dates & is a TARGET STORE EMPLOYEE,if people call the target store number on the top right corner of the receipt they can get this guy fired for abusing his store employee strict rules. It shouldn't be too hard for the store to identify who made this purchase based off the guys credit card info located on the receipt.

Target won't care about this. Not at all. Instead of spending time doing something that Target could care less about and is 100% legal, go up to your local Target instead and find the figure for yourself. Each store is getting more than enough to please fans.
