Found Sunstorm and Shockwave at the Palatine Target thanks to a stock worker. They're in the back. Employee informed me that the street date for those two is Sunday, 3/22. Also saw at least one Inferno at that store.

Wow they're already shipping? Guess I'll have to do the galleries soon before they become widely available. I received mine from BBTS about 7 to 10 days ago as well as Henkei Ratchet. Can't wait to check these guys out at last.

Agent 007 hooked me up with case-fresh Inferno and Overload, his Target is abotu 20 minutes from my house by tollway. Big props.

Def. need to find Univ Ratchet, but my Rosemont Target always seems behind all the others.

I have a feeling that a lot of the new figures are supposed to start showing up on Sunday officially. The Target exclusive Shockwave and Sunstorm sets have a street date of 3/22 (Sunday). Perhaps other figures/assortments will be released on that date as well. Has anyone heard of anything else that's due for a release? What about Mighty Muggs Starscream and Grimlock? When are they due out?

Toys R Us on State Street in Rockford had Hot Shot and Ratchet deluxes and little else. No other local sightings of these figs. FOr those who may still be looking, this store also still has Universe Unicron figs and 1 25th Prime left.

News Credits: 3599 · by **Seibertron** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 10:15 pm

I saw two Ratchets and two Hot Shots at the Rosemont Target this morning. I already had mine from BBTS so I left them there for you guys. I did pick up the latest wave of Star Wars Transformers at that store. I saw Bumper Battlers Soundwave and Lockdown at the Target on North Ave in Melrose Park (?).

WreckGar is worth it...very worth it. Lugnut is Lugnut with different color apps. I gave mine to my nephew for his birthday since I have the original already.

Stopped by Wal-Mart on Northridge in ROckford today and stumbled across the two newest SWTF figs...the V-wing and Plo Koon. Plo is just another repaint so I skipped it, but picked up the V WIng.

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 8:48 pm

Target Rosemont had their exclusive Sunstorm/Ratchet and Purple Shcokwave/Bumblebee sets, $24.99. Damn tempting, I like the Animated jet mold, and I wouldn't mind Activators Ratch, but I'm holding out for a Thundercracker repaint. They're on an end cap FWIW. Also had several Jetstorm/Jetfire sets.

Wal-Mart down here in Pontiac had both of these too - I did the same as you...skipped Plo Koon and opted for the V-Wing. My son's a huge fan of the Shock Trooper, so I'm hoping the 'bot mode will be a big hit.
