Actually, the Target on Hwy 7 and Hwy 101 in Minnetonka had like 3 or 4 of them on the shelf...I stopped there on my way home from work last night to see if they had also re-stocked...they were chock full of 25th ann. deluxe figs., but at that point all I was looking for was another Blurr. That store would be your best bet for picking up a Dinobot in this area IMO.

Thanks. I want Dinobot so much!
My plan worked for clearance items! I got Lockdown and Rachet for 3.50 each! YAY! Happy for me I want bac kto my Target and Walmart and now they have like 2/4 of a single row! But they havent restocked for wave 5 yet. I now can get my long awaited universe legends.( Rochester didnt carry Legends except Kmart, Shopko, or Toys r us but they never restock them.) I now got Hound, Cyclonus, and MS Soundblaster came in the Mail!

Sounds like these are showing up everywhere now, but W. St. Paul Target had all the wave 4 deluxe figs...NOT Dinobot or Smokescreen (as I believe they're wave 5,) but Cyclonus, Starscream, Cheetor, & Hound and they also had one Inferno fig. And they had TFA Swindle and Blurr. So I'm guessing Inferno was probably the only thing semi-rare they had. WSP Walmart also had a full stock of the same wave 4 deluxes, but they're not 7.77 anymore so fuggum.

Mmmmmm I really want an Inferno...hopefully it won't be that one ultra scarce figure of the line...

Amen, I want that fig bad. I wonder if they will do a repaint to Grapple? That would be cool! (They'll probably just paint him blue and call him Hotspot though... :-(

)

Strange I dont have a feeling about Inferno. He just doesnt look good too me.(Strangely I had a dream about me getting him last night :lol:

)

Just got back from Target in Savage and they had plenty of wave 4 of Universe (not wave 5 :-(

). But they did have 2 Infernos! Now they just have one! :grin:

Oooh my jealousy is peaking!!!! I'll definately grab 2 Infernos to do a Grapple re-paint myself...I already have the correct color yellow/orange leftover from when I made my Alternator Grapple....

Buying basicly every thing new off of BBTS and then trading with one of my friends

You know...It's screwed up...I could only find like 3 horrible pics of my Grapple, so I'm thinking that I never did post pics of him...
So I snapped a couple of quick pics of him with some of his buddies.

Looks good! I like the Hoist too!

Nerds across America rejoice!!!

I went to Target in Minnetonka today and picked up an animated Wrek Gar, and much to my suprise, they had done another markdown on the 25th ann. Optimus Prime!

That's right!

Down from $69.99 to $17.48!

You would have to be insane not to pick one of these up at this price!

Thu Jan 29, 2009 4:04 pm

Wow!

<$20?! Last I check they were still $35 by me, I'll have to check again!

How's Wreck-gar?

Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:42 pm

Yeah the 2 packs (springer ratbat etc) were marked down to like 7.48 too...
WrekGar is ok...I mean...not a terribly complicated figure...just a couple steps more difficult than a jumpstarter. He's a bit back heavy what with the huge garbage bin and loaders for a backpack. I wish Hasbro would have done something more to condense it down some...nice head sculpt, nice hands...his legs look nice, but don't do as much as you would think to support the pull to the rear from the "junk in the trunk". That little "heel" tab should have been a bit longer I think. His paint job is simple but clean...I dunno...I don't regret buying him or anything, but he's not jumping out at me as a really impressive figure like the Starscream, Grimlock, or Bulkead. If any figure in this line deserved to have a speech gimmick, it's this one, but alas there he stands on the shelf eerily silent. I put him right down the middle of the road at 5 out of 10 stars.

I went back to Target today and literally EVERY single clearance Transformer was gone...wether Target pulled them from the shelves, or someone came in and bought them all...they were gone.
There had to be like 30 Primes and maybe another 30 2-packs...

Amazing.

I dont care too much actually, I got all of my clearance items that I wanted a long time ago. I am not caring about buying TF's right now. Nothings coming out that I want.

Edit: I just got back from target and they had Universe Overload! :APPLAUSE:

Didnt buy him though.

Wed Feb 04, 2009 6:14 pm

Saw two Univ. Dinobot and one TFA Shadow Blade Megatron at Walmart today! (Shakopee/Savage)

Had to pass on them, but glad to see the new stuff is showing up!

Sat Feb 07, 2009 1:12 am

Yeah they have a couple Roadbuster Ultra Magnus figs at the Minnetonka Super Target..I am totally unimpressed with this re-paint...I mean...is he Roadbuster? or is he Ultra Magnus? He'sUltra Magnus painted up like Roadbuster...cause he still says all the Ultra Magnus stuff...I'm still looking for a Waspinator, Inferno, and Samuri Prowl...any idea if we're still going to see a Cliffjumper activator???
