Chaos At Target

Chaos At Target

Postby DepthCharge08 » Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:58 pm

well with all these rumors of the reset this weekend i just wanted to visit the local target today for just a quick visit to see if i got lucky before the reset, and the transformer aisle was chaos. At the top of the aisle like in most toy sections there was a big sign of optimus marking where the transformer toys are supposed to be, but on the actual shelfs and pegs there where Bratz toys,Pirates of the Carribean, and kids clothes in a pile, not even organized, thats how the transformer section looked :-( and i started thinking since maybe the reset is this weekend the employees arent taking care of the section cause they know they're gonna restock this weekend, at least thats what i think, anyone think thats the case?? the only upside to my visit at target was that i got the last two Target Exclusive figures they had, Clocker and Skyblast, which are scout class and the closest thing i've gotten to movie toyline figures in weeks

This is slightly off topic but the guys at TRU said to "check back this weekend" for TF restock. I'm gonna try them on Sunday and see what happens.

Pegs are filled with the new Scout class figures at my local Targets. No sign of Deluxes, Voyagers or Leaders.

I will be quite busy, actually. I plan to get:

Concept BB (2008 Camaro)
Thundercracker
G1 Colors Jazz
G1 Colors Starscream
G1 Colors Rescue Ratchet (maybe)
Cliffjumper
Dropkick

and a few others maybe. After that, I plan to move about 500 miles to a whole new place I will call home. :) After getting settled, I am sure there will be some new goodies on the way, or already out for me to get. :) By then, I will have more NEW TF's than I have of my original G1 collection.

Um...it was stated that the movie line will carry on until the middle of Summer 2008. Animated will run along with it at the beginning of the year, and then after the movie line's done...Classics/Universe 2.0 will pick up the slack.

I'm sure there will be lulls along the way, but I doubt we'll go months and months.

I have to say though...I think this is the biggest lull I've ever seen. I thought the Omega Supreme, Optimus/Megatron role play wave for Energon was bad (those were the only toys released that wave, and it lasted about a month or so, at least in my area.) but this...especially with all the people clamoring for these figures...yikes.
