The highly anticipated Human Alliance Leadfoot has been found at retail. Waverider of Full Metal Hero found the Target exclusive Wrecker in a California Target and snapped the images mirrored below. Happy hunting!

Why is it that whenever someone makes the first sighting of a figure, they always buy all of them? :roll:

It's pretty selfish, IMO, unless they were picking them up for a friend.

That is why I HATE store exclusives. They're a scalper's wet dream.

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.

how else is he supposed to fund his passion for strange dresser-top decorations? also, why doesn't he want us to know when his target closes!?

Sat Aug 13, 2011 3:09 am

this figure is on my wish list. so when i see it i'm gonna buy it asap

Sat Aug 13, 2011 4:24 am

If Target doesn't have this out, but has it in the back, what number would I have to give them in order for them to find it in the back? >_<

Human Alliance Topspin doesn't exist. Not yet. He hasn't been mentioned anywhere, so he may not see the light of day.

Human Alliance Roadbuster and Leadfoot are the only HA Wreckers in existence.

all i see around me is wave 1 still will keep look out for him topspin be nice to see if they made ha verison of him

Sat Aug 13, 2011 7:56 am

There is a guy that goes to my toysrus that pulls the same crap! I beat him there the other day and got my hands on ONE masterpiece rodimus. I left three on the shelf but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth cause that scumbag will probably scalp the heck out of em! The way to beat these scalpers is not to buy them off ebay!! I also am still looking for wheeljack. My toysrus claims they havent gotten him in yet..but one can only speculate.

Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:19 am

Yay! And he bought all 3 of them, thanks scalper, what's your ebay name?

Wow you really put that guy out there !!! LMAO !!! :lol:

If you look at the item location in the auction it says "Riverside CA" and on the Target reciept it says "Rancho CA". If you do a google search it comes out that Rancho is located in Riverside.

What I think is pathetic is scalping retail items to make 10 or 20 bucks profit. Thats chump change.

i just found 2 warpaths at my target yesterday do if any body want him let me know as i can ship it to u all u have to do is pay shipping charges. As for ha leadfoot he seems to be popping up in CA first and i live 30 mins away from the guy who found these so i can do the same with this figure just send me a pm if u want that warpath as i have heard he was hard to get a hold of.

Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:28 am

A HA I might buy?
Besides Soundwave i may buy him to?
Or save like $25 and get the Deluxe

Sat Aug 13, 2011 10:03 am

All i can say is i want him =P~

.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" .

Sat Aug 13, 2011 10:12 am

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.
