Did u no they were at every Target in the nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. I am sure you got them too and just didn't get around to stating it yet.

My Target must be defective.

Excuse my last post. I had a case of the bkutards.

I went to a Target this morning and there was no sign of wave 3. I'm sure that some people found them, but that's a far cry from a "nationwide event."

And I scored a Dirge to match my Blurr (probably from the same case, since it was the same store, but he was nowhere to be found the other day. Also got a Magnaguard, the only other ROTS figure I wanted from this wave.

They've kinda retconned the Cybertron Seekers into having names. So besides Acidstorm and Sunstorm, what is the name of the purple one?

I don't think he has one. "Sunstorm" was apparently some fan-made name that was made canon in the Dreamwave series. Acid Storm was just created by Hasbro. No idea on the purple one.

TRU has the LEGO SW TIE Defender on sale for 50% off ($26 and change) today starting at 3pm through midnight tonight and again all day tomorrow. the missus is dropping off the kid at my mom's house on long island and reported snagging the only one she could find at the carle place store. people were PISSED she found it, apparently, as they also had been hunting for it. once she's back we'll be heading up to the poughkeepsie TRU to see if we can get any more.

Got Sgt Stone from Tuesday Morning. While I was there, I saw they had Star Wars Transformers and some Revenge of the Fallen Transformers. They had Optimus Prime, a green dump truck, and a helicopter. (sorry I can't remember their names.) There was also an Lugnut from the animated line. The tag said the original price was $30 and they were selling them for $12-$13. Optiumus and the others were the larger series that came in a box.

I almost bought the generic remake of the original Constructicons for $7 but thought better.

Found Monkeywrench/Tunnel Rat at Ross.

PS3 with GTA4 & NHL 11

In addition to buying a bunch of LEGOs, Wii games, and other assorted Xmas gifts for the kids in the past week, I also got
DCUC Wave 14: Tyr, Obsidian, Kamandi, Gold, Zatanna, Alan Scott, and Hourman with the CnC Ultra-Humanite. They were WM exclusives. I found them on the overstock cart still in the case and 'liberated' them.
The Marvel Legends variant Deadpool and Warpath 2-pack.

And from matty today I received MotUClassics Greyskull, Grizzlor, and Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters.

I shouldn't have. But I did. Between what I got today and what's coming from Hasbro to arrive tomorrow....

In fairness, HTS was running a killer sale, and all but the Classics of the rest were at closeout stores. I figure I'm going apeshit now, because these old Joes at rock bottom prices will vanish come Friday, as kids everywhere ask Mom and Dad and Santa for Renegades figures, and thousands of adults say, "I can't find any Renegades. Wonder why? Fuck it, I'm getting this _____ for three bucks."

Oh, and at K-Mart's BOGO sale:

Bossk and IG-88 (for Toys for Tots)
Ahsoka Tano/Rotta the Hutt and Asajj Ventress (for my daughter--two I would never have picked, but, damn, nice figures)

got the new LEGO Hogwarts Express set for $57.90 (MSRP $80) due to a $62.99 markdown at kmart.com and two $5 off $50+ coupon codes that stacked. even did in-store pickup when it went out of stock nearly instantaneously and got it the next day!

Dollar Tree: 3 choppers that are the right scale for GI Joe. Dreadnoughts now have rides.

99cent store: MACH 5 and Racer X hot wheels cars.
