It's time, fellow collectors. This is the week when all our whining and searching shall finally, hopefully, come to an end.

This is the week when Target refreshes their stock. It's August 1st, meaning we should start to see some trickle before the storm on the 3rd and 4th.

If anyone sees any sign of the refresh, post it.

I don't know if it's the same system, but when I worked at Circuit City we'd always do the refreshes the first Thursday of every month.

I'm gonna be in Mexico this weekend, so I hope it's tomorrow or Thursday that we see the reset. I've seen the Targets already post up new charts for their shelf stock where the Transformers are, so it might be sooner rather than later.

Yea, they were cleaning up the toy aisles last week at 2 of my local targets. As of today, they still have about 2-3 full aisles in the toy area completely empty. The reset has to be coming soon. No major retail chain (especially as successful as Target) will leave shelf space empty too long.

The one you're at may not being doing the reset till next week, but I think I saw someone say that one they went to, they have already started.

Wal-mart has started their reset. Haven't checked any Targets yet, but I'm about to.

Please remember that there is no set street date tied to aisle resets. Just because you go to the store on the morning of the reset doesn't mean the pegs will be overflowing with new waves. Truck deliveries are not tied in any way to resets. Although with Target the aisle resets mean that there will be new items on the planogram - in the case of this upcoming reset Ultimate Bumblebee will be part of the planogram. And also I must stress that the Target reset is scheduled for the week of August 5th, not specifically for August 5th. Depending on the store they could be done a couple days before the 5th, exactly on the 5th or sometime later in the week. So be patient out there on the hunt.

This stock thing is REALLY getting on my nerves. I go to TRU and Target every day. TRU after work and Target before work. It's been a VERY LONG TIME since I saw Deluxe figures on the shelf.

Target has already reset the toy area, but no toys are out. I saw the role play tech toys which I will be passing on... saw a couple smaller Target exclusives that are found almost everywhere... NO deluxes though. I saw a few older voyagers out... no leader class... If they have the toys they just need to put them out! Why wait? Or is there going to be some big ad day for Target soon? It's just irritating that the company could make more money per day overall if they'd just put their empty stock out on the floor from back stock (if they have it in). I lucked out one day to find Deluxe Arcee, Bumblebee '08 and Dreadwing, but I was the first in the store and literally there was only one of each of those along with a lot of older ones just put out. Either Hasbro can't keep up with production or stores are just holding back for bigger replenish days.

A couple targets near me have had nothing for a few weeks. Star Wars seems to manage to keep their toys in stock, LOL! Funny to see so many Star Wars sitting there and virtually no Transformers except the regular stuff... the transforming stuffed toys, the stomping action toys and the kiddie vehicles. They better up production!!!

Yeah I'm impatient... Almost think it would be worth the little extra money in just getting these from entertainmemtearth.com and buy them by the case amog a couple friends to ensure I'm getting the stuff I want without wasting so much gas looking around.

I have seen people actually go in on the set date and think it will be done

It depends on the store it could take a week

ATTENTION

I just called me local Target, and they told me that they just got in a new shipment of Transformers toys. HOWEVER, they told me they will be keeping them in the back room until about Monday or so, in order to accommodate their 'transition'. AHHHH I CANT WAIT!

by **AlienQuiksilver** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:28 pm

The Target near my work has started the reset as well. I went there on my lunch break today.

I saw an employee haul off a cart with the new scout releases and 1 leader megs, along with a whole slew of pirates toys. I wonder why he took the TF's away ...
