I stopped by a local Target (The only one that was a little rude about not pulling them before the 13th) Lo and behold, there's NO endcap, no Star Wars, Transformers or GI Joe exclusives and when I used the DPCI number on the keypad, it showed as nothing in the backroom (They had them in the back room when I asked about them a week ago) I guess all their exclusives just mysteriously disappeared
Good thing I shopped at a better Target last week |

Stopped by my Super-Target this afternoon, and they had the checkout display, but the Joe shelf was full of Transformers. I found a person near the toys, and she radioed someone in the back to look them up. She got me two cases from the back, and was very friendly about it. And the coupon... God bless the coupon. $50 for six figures and six medium-sized vehicles. It's starting to feel like 1983 again!
I don't know when they got them or if they would have let me have them early because I hadn't asked before today. Still, despite the fact that there were none on shelves, having the DCPI made getting these fairly painless. Mostly I'm glad I don't have to worry about hunting for these. Regardless, I just want to reiterate how helpful they were. I've seen a lot of stories on here about rude and unhelpful employees, and my experience was nothing but pleasant. I'm sure it didn't hurt to have my son with me, so I didn't look like some basement ebay scalper, but she was incredibly nice and helpful. Last edited by nacho; 04-13-2008 at 04:46 PM.. |

Maybe a little late in the game, but Mooresville NC Super Target got in 10 cases of theTarget exclusive vehicles, all of which were put out on a register end cap this morning some time after they opened (according to the girl at the customer service desk).
I was able to get one of each vehicle about 11:30am. That left 2 Hiss tanks, a few AWE Strikers and plenty Night Specters. IMHO, the boxes they come in, flat out suck. They deserve better packages. The Hiss Tank Driver, awesome. Grand Slam, suprisingly awesome. Crankcase... needs work. |

I think Crankcase looks hella-lame. It looks like they were rushed or something when they painted/put him together, even his helmet is on crooked. And I nitpicked through all they had and got the best one that was left.

...Hella-lame... hmm
Stopped by two Targets bright and early this morning. At Target one, another guy beat me to the door and made his way to the back before I could get there, he saved me from walking all the way back when he came back out a few seconds later empty handed. Now there's a chance he was wanting the Speed Racer stuff, I guess, but I didn't bother to ask about the status. Target two is a little more out of the way and had a nice new checkout display with 2 of each out. The woman who checked me out said they'd just set it up this morning. |

I couldn't believe there were a bunch of them at my local Target. So I picked up two cases for myself. Not sure how long they would last.
