I know this was an old post, but out of curiousity, what TRU? I was at the Warwick location earlier that day, and would like to emotionally abuse myself if they had a case in the back and I didn't ask.

Sorry, I should have specified that- I got them at the Dedham MA store. I know that's nowhere near you but I often like to report my MA findings as they sometimes reflect with similar items getting released in RI. Also I know most of the guys on here so we banter back and forth a lot. What stinks about RI is that the only TRU (to my knowledge) is in Warwick, so I'd imagine that competition for exclusives must be more difficult.

I was out running some errands today and checked a couple Targets while in the area. It looks like I missed out on 2 or 3 Vehicons between 2 stores lol. It was definitely this case:

Robots In Disguise Deluxe Series 03 - Case of 8 - Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Deluxe (Revealers)

Minus the Vehicons (1 case at 1 store and it looked like 2 at another).

There were no TF deluxe or voyager figures at Kohls. Seriously, I had no idea that was the store referenced as "with stuffed animals at the register." I don't go to Kohls very often.

Why would you unless dragged there by the finance. It's the only reason I'm ever there. I'm like all the other dudes there - wandering the store, looking miserable as the wife browses 75% of the store.

They used to have a decent toy section but unless it's around Christmas time, it's really slimmed down. Plus, you have to have a 30% coupon just to make it worth going. The prices on toys are high.

Yea. That's true. My fiance doesn't go to Kohls much either thankfully.



I posted this on TFW, but I figured I would post it here, too.

I got the Kre-o Devastator set thanks to the online sale they were running last week (20% off of $100 or more and free shipping).

If anyone sees the TRU exclusive version, please let me know. I've got a coupon and a reward I'd like to use on it. Thanks!

Here a link to some pics of the exclusive set.

Hmmmmm I wonder if the missing Vehicons were snagged by someone else....;)

Have you at least named one of them "Steve" yet? Lol.

No, no worries at all. Thanks for posting! I really should check the MA thread as well, as much of the runs I COULD make are in SE Mass (I work in Pawtucket).

Yeah, I know. I'm quite the lurker. I'm on here at least twice a day, but only post when I have a question or find something I think someone would be interested in. Love the banter!

You can say that again. Though I've been fairly lucky. I don't have any 'insiders' (save for you folks :P) but I make frequent stops around town. Being married with kids will send you in the direction of toys more often than you might think!

Bummer. We can thank the Hasbro genius in charge of popular figure distribution amongst cases for that. Probably the same guy that put Renegades Storm Shadow 1-per-case last year as well, haha.

I know the feeling, I usually check out the toys while she's trying on shoes, etc. Their prices are definitely astronomical, although they always seem to have some sort of "sale" going on, be it 15% or 20%, and even then you're paying $3-5 more than usual, haha.

I remember getting the War for Cybertron and Reveal The Shield TF figures there early though, they seemed to be the only place that had them.

I'll keep an eye out for it in my neck of the woods.

Nah, no one is interested in them. Probably got sent back to Hasbro with Arctic Destro because they don't sell.
