JD, The Havana Great lands Target had one of the target vehicles as of today at 12pm. It was on one of the check out lane endcaps.(it's the ship with Grand Slam, I'm having a brain lapse on the name right now).

Since I know you still need these, I will buy (and/or hide) a set of three should I spot them again. You may want to try that DCPI for them, that's how I got mine. Check back a few pages on this thread I know I posted it as did "eggjr." originally.

Good luck.

MY NEEDS:

Senior Ranking Officer Set (Joes)

thank you. I did realize where Cheyenne is. I love the Zoo there in the Springs. It is just a heck of a drive.

Ok, this is driving me insane. I can't find the TRU Exclusive Crimson Guard Officer Pack. I've found everything else but that. But, now, I'm confirming that this set may be the more difficult set to find of the three Officer Packs. I saw one guy on the April Hauls thread brag about the 3 Crimson Guard Packs he had, with pictures to prove it.

I have found multiple Target Vehicles and could probably do with unloading a set if anyone is interested.

Also, Fett, I only saw the TRU Officer Pack one time and picked them up. Well, that is, I was only able to pick up two of the three packs. I saw the the TRU 5-packs sets twice, once at two different stores.

Also, Park Meadows fooled me once on the inventory held at Aurora. In fact, as I posted earlier, Park Meadows's TRU manager looked on his computer one time for me and told me that he had no TRU 5-packs. His store did not have them. Yet, Aurora had them. What actually happened was the reverse. I walked the isles after he told me this and found the 5-packs sitting there, half-way down the aisle away from the Joe stuff. I thought I was dreaming. Not knowing any better, I followed the manager's original advice and went to Aurora. Nothing was there. They told me at the store that their computers are often wrong.

You're best bet is to just make a random visit and hope for the best. If I see anything, I can hide it and let you know via PM. You did alright by me on one of our transactions and I can look out for you.

But, dude, snag me one of those Crimson Guard Officer packs if you see one.

I also travel a lot with work to other cities. I was just in Phoenix last week. I normally hit the hunt hard on my off time seeing that I have no wife and kids around to slow me down. That's how I got most of my Target vehicles a couple weeks ago. They were the first to get them. I'm going to Nashville, TN in a week. If I see anything there, I can pick them up and let some of you guys know. Otherwise, I'll just return them to the stores here in town.

I'll post a reminder in a week. Then, you guys in Denver can PM your interests if you haven't found them by them. This would be a straight sale for what they cost with receipt.

Anyway, Yo Joe.

Oh, before I forget, something happened today that may interest all of you. So, I'm at a Target and decide to see if they have some more vehicles. The guy gets them for me in the back. But, as I pick up only the HISS and the AWE Striker, the stockroom guy tells the other employee who called him: "Don't worry, this was the last box. We should be done with this for good."

I'm thinking the store must have gotten hit hard by Joe fans or scalpers. I'm also thinking that this set is going to sell out before it even hits the shelves. Another store I had gotten this set from a week ago, had 18 items under the DCPI number. The next day . . . zero. So, good luck on your searches guys.

Oh, just in case you guys come across them, my wants are:
Single Figures
Crimson Guards
New Snake Eyes with Timber, with two peg stand and fixed articulation
and of course Wave 7 whenever that hits

TRU Exclusive
Crimson Guard Officer Pack

Haves
Target Exclusive Vehicles (Awe Striker and Specter)
Crobra Troopers

If you have any particular interest in something else, let me know. I may see them on my travels.

I'd be up for your Striker and SHARC, so I don't have to keep hunting!

So I called the Toys R Us in Westminster. I talked to a friendly guy. And, no they don't have any TRU figures. But the interesting part was the story he told me. Everyday 15 minutes before the store opens, the store has the same group of pushy (his words) collectors come inside and raid the store. I told him that they may be scalpers. He realizes they are hoarding them to sell online and the store has limited their purchase.

But, how do you compete with that? These guys start the day off with a visit to Toys R Us.

Ugh. I'm done. I'll only search for these things at my local Target and on my business travels.

Yeah, the Westminster TRU has an exceptional scalper problem. The local Hasbro rep Ed sends out an email every so often saying where the new items are. On Monday he sent one out saying that he put the 3-packs out at the Westminster TRU...on Friday. Thanks for the head's up there Ed. Like anyone getting the email has a chance of scoring them after the weekend. I haven't found any of the 3-packs yet, so if extras are found, I'm interested.

toysrus in the springs has taken down the price tag and placeholders for the 3 packs, and the clerk said that they are not expecting any more any time soon (although It seemed more like a "yeah, stop bugging me" type of answer than a true knowledge of whether there are any more coming.
I am starting to think that we are burdened with the worst TRU in the country!
