Yes, the summer toy drought is finally over. While Toys R Us jumped the gun and put out many of the new Star Wars and Transformers toys a few weeks ago, Target stores are in the process of resetting and stocking their action figure aisles. At two of my local Targets I found the Star Wars section jam packed with everything from Legacy and Clone Wars action figures to the new vehicles and battle packs. One even had high ticket items like the AT-AT and radio controlled Hailfire droid.

Transformer fans will also want to hit their local Target.  The stores around here are packed with the first wave of Legends, Scouts, Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders. They even had Human Alliance Jazz and Battle Ops Bumblebee. Also keep your eye out for Target’s new exclusive sets, which include two deluxe sized robots in some pretty garish colors. Needless to say, these will probably be on clearance in a few months.

Target doesn’t seem to be dedicating a lot of space for G.I. Joe.  However the new Pursuit of Cobra toys are also starting to trickle out. My local Targets had a few pegs for figures as well as some shelf space for the vehicles and Mech suits. From what I’ve seen, these toys are a big improvement over the movie line and should be a big hit among collectors.

Good news for fans of the Transformers Human Alliance toy line. The set with Skids, Arcee and Mikaela has finally hit retail in the US. theestampede of the TFW2005 boards found the toy at a Target store in Memphis, TN.

Good news for those waiting for the new Transformers ROTF Human Alliance toys. Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of people Human Alliance Bumblebee at Kmart stores across the U.S. Target also seems to be getting these in as there was an isolated report of someone finding a few at a Super Target store in Burnsville, MN. If you’d like to check the back stock at your local Target, the DPCI is 087-06-0292.
