Dam....I got mine Animated exclusives at full price, and the Target store I got them from are all out.
I'll try one more target...but oh well I guess I'm outta luck.

I'm about 80 miles from the nearest Target today so I have to wait until tomorrow when I'll only be 45 miles away. I want Sunstorm but I bet even if I brave the nasty snow storm they say is coming tomorrow, they won't have it.

The Shockwave and Sunstorm packs are only $5?!? WTF, I bought Shockwave a week ago for $25!!!
Boy do I want my $20 back, I always get shafted like this... ah well, time to rush off to find Sunstorm!

I don't have the car at the moment. Hopefully Target nearby will have them in stock still. They had a ton last weekend. I want to buy the Sunstorm 2-pak as well as the Shockwave one again so I can have MISB on both.

Yup, $5. I got both sets today... again. Like everyone else on this forum I also bought both sets a few weeks back at full price. Too bad I can't find my receipt. Oh well, I guess I have an MISB set now.

Man, I'd like to shake the guy's hand of whoever tipped off the news crew. I just came back from Super Target with both sets. What a killer deal.
There weren't many exclusives left, so I would jump on this.

I just got back from Target here in New Orleans and got the True Colors Shockwave set for 5 dollars. I love the repaint because I can have the original TFA Shockwave displayed as Longarm and the Target one as Shockwave.
I'd like to thank the guy who broke the news because I really wanted this set, but refused to pay 25 bucks for a repaint. That's why I love this site, I've gotten many great deals at stores just from the tips over here. I got Cybertron Leader Prime for 20 bucks from Family Dollar, Ultimate Movie Bumblebee from Walmart for 35 bucks, and now the Target TFA Exclusives for only 5 dollars. Seibertron rocks!
As a side note, the Target I went to still had the sets displayed for 24.99. I was a little discouraged when I saw this, but decided to do a price check anyway. Turned out they were really 4.99. Makes me wonder if this was a legit sale, or just a computer error like with Walmart's 35 dollar Ultimate Bumblebee.

I just paid full price for Sunstorm YESTERDAY! Did this $5 price just start today? I know mileage may vary, but Target prices are usually nationwide and this is popping up in a few places.

I bought the Shockwave set for regular price last night along with some other TF's, and a few minutes ago I went to Target and they gadly returned the difference for everything that on sale to the CC I used. They even had a few of each sets left. I scanned them , and though the shelves were pretty bare, it did say there were some in the stockroom, so it may be wise to check with an employee if you really want this deal and it seems there aren't any left.

I just used Target.com to see if they had any of the $5 guys in stock and wow, none within 100 miles of me. Gee target, why don't you actually offer things on your website?! Not everybody has one of your frickin stores right around the corner!

Target will price adjust within 14 days of purchase. If you are over that, you will have to buy another set at $4.99, and then take it back with your original receipt and get a refund. Did that one today.
On another note, the flood to ebay cracks me up. Looks like the scalpers are trying to roll this one out.

Checked Target.com stock and it said they were in the closest store to me, got there and sadly I couldn't find one. Just a few Universe Deluxes, Animated and Universe Voyagers, and one Leader Magnus. Might try again later this week.
