Haven't had any bad luck with Target yet. I got Soundwave, Wheeljack, and Megatron using El Duque's strategy.

Well just checked online and it says my target has the voyagers and the deluxes. I going to do the method El Duque's said to do, but I can't figure out what I should say when I go up to the customer service counter.

If any can tell me what they said that would be very helpful.
Ps. I can't use stuff like my son wants one or something like that because I'm 15.

I feel your pain. I too am 15 and was nervous to know what the outcome would be. I just say:

"Hi, I went online to target.com, putting this DPCI (the number El Duque gave us) in, searching for a certain line of figures called Transformers: Prime. It said this store had them in stock. However, I went back to the shelves and there were none. Maybe they are in the back?"

Usually, they'll give you a reciept that has the stock room location that these figures would be stored. They'd tell you to go to Electronics and give this to the guy/girl that is posted there. They will go get a box for you, open it up, and let you pick what you want. Or you could tell them the name of a specific toy you want (i.e Soundwave) and they'll bring that one.

But it all depends on who you talk too. Watch out for the grumpy old people at CS. They're too dedicated to their job to give it to you and will make you wait until February 29th. Happened to me once. :BANG_HEAD:

If none of that works, have your mom go in and tell them that she wanted to buy this for her 6-year-old son's birthday. Should touch some hearts :lol:

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice Gyrotron. It helped when I asked today. The only thing that sucked was that someone beat me to them, so I'm going to walmart after the recent news.

I wouldn't be surprised if Walmart decided to skip the Prime toys, considering the huge amounts of DotM I'm still seeing on their shelves.

See? Michael Bay is STILL screwing us! =P

Wal-Mart already has sightings.

If you're trying to be funny, it didn't work.

Well, I'm not trying HARD... *Indignant pose*

I'm sure they'll get around to them. My local Walmarts seem to be slow (and sometimes delinquent) in their stocking of new toys in general. I'll see things at Target weeks ahead of the Walmarts in the area. I'm sure it's a location by location thing.

But about the amount of DotM toys? Seriously. They have a metric buttload. I'm waiting until they finally clearance 'em out to hit up the super common stuff like normal Deluxe Bumblebee, Crankcase and a few others.

got Megs, WJack, CJumper and SWave all at one Target today
the DCPIs worked no problem
they brought out Prime and BB first until i said i wanted the others
done in a half an hour

told them i would write an email if they got it right, which made them step it up
