remember, places like BBTS get their toys directly from Hasbro. They then ship directly to you. Target needs to sell down existing stock ... then wait for shipments from Hasbro to the DC to the individual stores.
Order from BBTS
Pros
+ faster delivery
+ save on gas
Cons
- no fun
- toys are as is ... if the case is bashed, you get a bashed case.
- a bit more
Hunt them down
Pros
+ slightly cheaper
+ the new TF tingle
+ pick and choose toys, if one is bashed, don't buy it.
Cons
- gas is a killer
- xmas shoppers buy everything this time of year
- slower arrival times

Places like BBTS should have them in stock this week.
I seriously almost caved into buying some of the new Cybertron figures. I was waiting in line on Black Friday at TRU and I was stuck standing in the aisle with the Transformers for 10 minutes. It was pure hell. :a:
