Neither can I.. according to the Manager, they had more in the back, but the stocker shouldn't have put him on the shelf yet. It seems ludicrous that they have a lot of these taking up room, with high demand, yet still can't sell themRoadbuster wrote:transformers_va wrote:Nice!!

I had similar experiences with Wal Mart. I can't understand the 9/1 release date.

There are atandarfs to maintain.

I initially had similar issues with the Seeker twin pack. The first Target I went to had them but was strictly following the 6/21 street date. Luckily the second Target had a couple more sets and were more lenient and let me get away with one set for me and one set for a friend of mine in my unit. It’s kinda odd that they’d get them this early and not be able to sell them for two months.
I didn't know that, he seems readily available here in VA, and no issues buying him a while ago. Do you think they upped the sell date, and if so, maybe they'll do the same with Doubledealer? I have a feeling the Quintesson Judge was in the back, and I'd love to see him earlyAutobot N wrote:..can't even buy Optimus, as he's also street dated for 9/1 despite having been out already.

Well we do have plenty of rumours that Prowl is coming in a two pack with an Earth mode Ironhide.
Of which I eagerly await confirmation.
The Prowl/Ironhide two-pack isn't a rumor, it's a straight-up listing on multiple of the European Amazon sites, and Bluestreak as some kind of exclusive that would get a full case all to himself was also a leaked listing in a store database. These are beyond rumors at this point.
Wait, Bluestreak is allegedly going to get a full case to himself?
Yep, meaning he's probably an exclusive. A lot of people are guessing he'll be the Walgreens exclusive.
Huh, that makes sense. At least that means he'll be relatively easy to find (in the US anyway).
I had the same thing happen back with Siege with Voyager wave 3(?). I found Thundercracker on the shelf before the street date. Grabbed him and a Megatron to use as a scan dummy. TC scanned as unsellable, and then so did Megatron. Because they were case mates. Doubledealer must be case mates with Prime.Autobot N wrote:Fun fact, that issue isn't limited to just Doubledealer, but apparently affects the ER Leader wave as a whole.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Did that also happen at Target? Seems like it’s an issue with them and not Walmart (I remember the same thing happening with Siege Springer last year as well).Cobotron wrote:I had the same thing happen back with Siege with Voyager wave 3(?).

That makes sense, though it’s weird that they’re beholden to the date and Amazon isn’t.And I posted the same sentiment then!Autobot N wrote:You'd think that making money by selling things would be their foremost concern.![]()

I've been told the retailers have to honor the manufacturer's wishes.

That's one more than I saw between five local stores, Cobo had to get mine for me. One of the five stores has always been a Walgreens and an employee told me they were selling out within a day of stocked them, but the other four stores were recently converted Rite Aids and the employees didn't know what I was talking about so I'm guessing they weren't factored into the exclusive distribution plans in time. I'm hoping this year I have better luck.

Same. Five stores I was checking. I walked in to one (not even on my normal search pattern) and there he was. I checked for others, but there weren't any. Never saw him again in a store.

Huh. I only had to go to two stores before I found Ratchet, both on the same morning. I never realized so many people had trouble finding him, hopefully that isn't a bad sign for a potential Bluestreak.

The original news of its existenec comes from shelf tags from Toysrus Canada.
That's happened to me with 2 different TFs within the past year. I bought the other 3 of the first-half Macadam BAF deluxes, probably all at Targets in January, but when I tried to buy Bee a month later, suddenly he hadn't reached his street date. He (and Prime, Megs and Shockwave) was on the shelf at 3 different Targets, but couldn't be bought. I finally got him at a Meijer right when Michigan went into lockdown.Glarryg wrote:In the past two years, this has happened to me no less than half a dozen times a year. Always at a Target, but not always the same Target, and every time except once it was a TF (the other time it was a Mega Bloks set). Every one of those times, I've found the same item at a different store chain, often within two weeks of the initial incident and always before Target's "street date."
I don't shop at Target much any more.
