Exactly why I don't nab them from HTS.. last time I did the store got them the day after I placed my order.

Just got back from the Target on Vets. Nada. I guess some other lucky fan picked up RTS Prime (who I now suddenly have the urge to add to my collection). I also checked the Vets TRU and they're apparently cleaning out their ROTF inventory. LOTS of ROTF figures there, and most are on clearance. They even had the Ultimate BB figure (which wasn't on clearance for some reason).

I think I'll hold off on ordering the figures online. I'm really not that excited about this wave of TF's. When I see them, I'll get them.

As predicted... the Target on Millerville a block from my house had EVERYTHING but Scourge in troves! At least 4 of every new toy except for Scourge and only one Kup left.

OOOH.. Maybe the one in Metairie will get in Kup and Scourge soon.

Stopped by the Veterans Target on my way home from work today..
Nothing new on the pegs.
I grab a WFC Cliffjumper and scan him, it reads Stockroom yes
I find an employee and ask him to check in the back for me.
He brings out the box and BINGO.

Nabbed Kup and Scourge..
I also got them for $9.04.. They still had tags on the pegs that said that price even though they rang up for $11.99..
I snapped a pix of the peg price and the checkout matched that price.

w00t!!

Finally... FINALLY Kup....
And after opening and transforming him he is spectacular..
Now to transform scourge.

Awesome find CB. Im at target now and they're going to the stockroom to pull a box for me. Great advice. I would have never thought to ask if they had the new stock. Now, im keeping my fingers crossed that they actually have kup, scourge, wreckgar, and g2 prime...

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks CB. Good news is that there were a Scourge and Kup in that box. Bad news is that it was the only Transformers box in the stock room...so no G2 Prime and Wreckgar... :-(

Another kick in the head was that they rang up for 11.99 each! Apparently, the 9.00 sale must have come to an end yesterday or something. Still, I just got done messing around Scourge and Kup and they're both pretty awesome. Scourge just blows me away with how great he is. Kup is pretty good, but that arm kibble is a bit of a let down.

Now, the hunt for Wreckgar and G2 Prime will continue!

What was the price on the pegs? Yesterday it was $9.04 but they rang up for $11.99. When I nabbed Wreck Gar and Perceptor the other day they also rang up for $11.99 but were priced on the peg for $9.04.
If they still were priced on the peg as $9.04 you could have taken a pix with your ell phone like I did and show it to them..
It worked for me.

Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:25 pm

Damn...didn't think of that. I only glanced at the pegs and saw they were going for $9.04. I just assumed the older ROTF figures were on sale. When I told the girl the pegs said 9.04, she also said it was for the older toys. Wish I'd have had the forethought to take a picture of the price and the figures on the pegs...

Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:27 pm

Wolf, if you're up for a drive, the Target @ exit 6 on 1-12 had at least 4 Wreck Gars and G2 Primes this morning.

Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:38 pm

Thanks for the heads up Mazing. Actually, my wife and I are going to BR tomorrow, so I'll have an excuse to check the Target out there! Now...I just have to sneak Wreckgar and Prime past my wife in the checkout line... :-?

Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:40 pm

I actually JUST got back from there a few min ago and there's still plenty of both! Good luck with the quarterback sneak!

Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:12 am

Hey Mazing, just to be clear, you're talking about the Target on Siegen right? Just asking because I haven't been to Baton Rouge in like a year and I don't remember the exit numbers.

Sun Jan 30, 2011 7:38 pm

Hey man, sorry for the delay, I've been at a Magic pre-release all day. NO, this Target is on 1-12 @ the Millerville exit heading to/from Hammond. Hope I got this info to you in time! Last I checked Seigen was pretty bare.

Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:20 pm

No prob Mazing. We ended up going to the Seigen Target first...which was pretty bare. However, your directions were spot on and after I finally admitted to my wife that I had an ulterior motive, we took the drive to that Target (she knows her way around Baton Rouge way better than I do because she went to LSU for college). Anywho, someone apparently hid the last few RTS Wave 2 figures, because I didn't see them at first. However, once I started digging around the pegs, I saw there was one figure at the very end of each peg. Got the last Prime and Wreckgar, still one Perceptor left. I'm pretty sure I ruined someone's day lol.

Thanks again CB and Mazing. Thanks to you guys I have Scourge, Kup, Prime and Wreckgar! Now I just have to wait for RTS Lugnut...

No thanks necessary because that is what we are all here for, we are TF fans and help other fans when possible.

Mon Jan 31, 2011 12:10 pm

No problem at all man, glad you were able to find'em!

News Credits: 104 · Wed Feb 02, 2011 1:21 pm

Stopped by the vets target to grab some bagged veggies for lunch, passed through the toys and saw at least 2 of each of the Wreck Gar wave..

Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:57 pm

No Kup? I saw both of them there yesterday.

Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:25 pm

Anyone find Lugnut yet? I went to 3 Walmarts in Jefferson Parish Thursday and didn't see any sign of him.

Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:54 pm

No sign in my parts yet but I"ll keep you posted. Isn't he in the same wave as Solar Storm Grapple?

Sun Feb 20, 2011 12:42 pm

Yea, he is. But I thought he was being released in January or something. I've seen tons of reviews on the guy, so he's out SOMEwhere. It's just that I haven't heard much about his release at all. :???:
