“the voyager is currently a head, a wrecking ball, and two hands.”

There’s a dirty joke in there somewhere. I’m just too lazy to look for it.

I’m also a little scared to ask what happened to the rest of him, but I’m gonna do it anyway.

Bosch, don’t worry about talking too much around here. :p

The way I always figured Target, it was for yuppies. People who though ‘more expensive’ means ‘more quality’ and like their propped up fashions and brand appeal.

That being said, the ones I’ve seen usually had pretty decent stock in their toy section.

Esoteric, odd about Coles. We have Kohl’s, but I think that’s mostly a clothing store. And hey, they might get rid of that giant Bumblebee soon. Just in time to put the slightly retooled version out. :D

Monty, I got my Bulkhead in a trade. Traded a MISB Unicron for a voyager and a leader Bulkhead, kept the leader and the voyager is currently a head, a wrecking ball, and two hands.

Luke, I don’t often go by their electronics department. It’s kind of out of the way and on the opposite side of the store from Little Caesar’s. :)

The pain-lovers, last I saw them, were on some of the racks over by Electronics.

And I too find it pretty disgusting that they still have Movie ’07 figures, and can’t seem to stock more than half a case of anything from the last two years.

Esoteric:
The Animated line Deluxes have been shelfwarming here as well. But that’s mainly because no one wants to pay freaking $13 for a Deluxe.

The Wal-Mart here still has 07 movie toys.

I know someone who got a leader Animated Bulkhead for freaking $20 at K-Mart.

The K-Mart here (Conveniently located near my bank/where my mom works) makes me think of a post-apocalyptic department store. It’s so lonely with only old people, five workers, one guy and his son, and myself. It’s like S-Mart after the deadites kill everyone.

Is your K-Mart the same as our K-Mart? I think our Target is the same; they at least have the same symbol. We don’t have a Wal-Mart. We have a Big W but I’m pretty sure that they’re not in anyway affiliated. Also Big W’s are unanimously shitty.

Our Target and our K-Mart are owned by the same mob (Coles) while Big W is owned by the competition (Woolworths).

Anyway, all the Targets around my area have, seriously, nothing BUT Movie’07 figures. They were doing good for a little while there, when Animated was new and fresh. But that line shelfwarms something terrible, so it seems as though Target has cleared all of that stock and replaced it with JUST Movie’07 figures. Crap ones too. They’ve added some Universe stock, now that the new wave of Voyagers (Inferno, Leo Prime, etc.) finally showed up down here, but they’re still predominantly Movie’07.

My God: I am sick of that giant Movie Bumblebee.

K-Mart is MUCH better. They’re mostly Animated stock. Seriously, if you ever want forty Sentinel Prime’s, eight of any of the Leader Class figures and thirteen Swoop, Elite Guard Bumblebee, Blurr and Swindle: Go to my local K-Mart.

Oh, and about two hundred Lugnut.

I’ve always thought of K-mart as being one of those places where those people who thought Wal-mart was too red-necky and Target was was not ‘necky enough to go to. The last K-mart I was in was in Midwest City, OK(and that was about 5 years ago before it closed) and it was in good condition but was craptastic on most any selection be it toys, clothes, ETC.

As For Brawl, yeah, I’d definitely not pay full price for one, I’ve read on too many boards about them being floppy, or just really substandard on a whole. I bought the deluxe version and it was about as bad as Galvatron, luckily a lot of tweaking and superglue fixed him up for the most part.

I think someone at K-mart simply got lazy. That said, if someone bought the others there, it’s only a matter of time before someone else thinks they are getting a deal for buying at full price something that obviously should have double since the first movie. That or they are just desperate.

Damn I talk a lot…
