Okay, so which Phoenix, AZ Target stores are you folks finding these 25th vehicles at, because I checked about 5 of them last night and not a single one had anything even remotely related.

I'm located in the east valley out towards AJ, but work in Tempe/Phx, so I've checked a range of Target stores, but again, nothing. Please help me out fellow collectors! :-)

call and give the frontdesk the ID number. Their computer tells them if there's anything in stock....whether it's on the shelf or not. Once you find out which store has them in the back you can go there with the number and ask some wandering employee to check for you. WARNING...I tried this at two other Targets and both of them said they aren't allowed to sell them even though the desk confirmed they were in stock. I just lucked out the first morning.

Thank you!

After typing out my plea for assistance last night, I called the Gilbert/202 Target to see what they had- using the DCPI number someone so kindly provided. The clerk said they had five in stock, and that they would hold the HISS and Awe for me (the only two I wanted). I almost told them not to hold them, as I figured they'd never run out of 5 of each vehicle in 30 min., but erring on the side of caution I had them hold them for me.

I get to the store and they have one SHARC on the shelf and no other 25th vehicles! Turns out they only had one of each vehicle- the SHARC I found and decided to purchase, and the two I had them hold! I'm not certain if this kind of short stocking will go on at other stores, but I cannot thank you folks enough for providing that DCPI number, as that's the only way I would have been able to get the clerk to pull these items from their infamous back room- where the vehicles had been stashed away.

Thanks again everyone!

I just saw your post. I'm glad you found them.

I do not make much money. I get paid on the 3rd of each month,I own Jason Joes and more this month for a preorder. Could one of you pick up one each of the new 9.99 toys from target and save it and give to me to pay you on about May 4?

zephyr, if you can find an east valley Target that will hold 2 of each, I will pick up your set and hold it for you until you have the cash. Otherwise, we can both try our luck again come April.

Because I was/am on the fence w/ these, I haven't done any leg work except checking out two Targets I happen to be shopping at to see if they had any on the shelves.

I live in Queen Creek and work in Tempe.

Further correspondence can be through PM.

[zephyr]

Err,I cann't find any. :(

So the vehicles have been out for a month? I have never seen them and I hit the same target every day plus random others through out the week.
Has wave 7 been found in AZ yet?

I work on main and Gilbert in Mesa and live on 6th St and Northern in Phoenix. If any one finds them and wants to pick them up for me that would be wonderful.

I have also been working on a ton of customs and I hope to have those up soon. I will put the link in here first to get your feed back.

[Roadblock Recall]

No, not a month. The vehicles have only been seen for less than a week so far.

Wave 7 is not out yet.

Sightings in other cities of the new TRU 3-packs. Should be any day here.

[docfairday]

Ok thanks. For some reaosn it looked as though the posts finding the vehicles were dated back to the beginning of March.

I will start checking in all my usual haunts.
