Ok...hide the toys someplace in the store. Then return without the GF and snatch them up.

Speaking of which ... Target looks like our only shot of grabbing Prowl and Decepticharge.

Most TRU's are filled with older Alts, meaning newer cases won't be ordered. Target orders 1 case at a time. When there's 1 remaining on the shelf, the inventory automatically re-orders itself.

I stalked a Target today knowing their shelf was empty last week. I checked, and JUST MISSED the new assortment. They had 2 Grimlocks, 1 Swindle, and a Swerve.


I bought the Swerve. h:

Seriously though, when the new case is spotted. This board lights up like a xmas tree.

I was in Target yesterday and they had 1 Swindle on the shelf. I kindly moved him behind some Star Wars toys hoping it would make them bring out the new ones.

:goodjob: hahaahahah, that's awesome.

Oh, here's a tip. Take the alternator and scan it on one of the price finders. On the display, it should tell you if they're in the back room or not.

If so, flag down an associate and they'll get the case for you.

I honestly have a feeling Swerve is going to end up like this.

It'll say something like, "BACKROOM: (yes or no here)"

Also, if you see an employee walking around with a handheld price scanner, they can scan the shelf SKU and tell you the same thing.

When you see the Alternators shelf pricetag, you'll see a short barcode next to it.
