    I cant imagine Hasbro would want them back either, because they wouldn't be in a good enough condition to re-issue to other stores, and they have 'BigW' all over them (not stickers either - actually part of the printed exterior image), so no other chain would want to use them.

    I think that store might have just said that, to avoid any begging from an interested person if they said it was to be destroyed.
    I worked for target in the toy department about 4 - 5 years ago now and this is true and display items would just be crushed in the cardboard compactor out the back. They never asked for any displays back, We had a cool Playmobile display diorama in a plastic display case that when it was over we put in the bin out the back.
    But a lot of the time the posters and displays would just go to the staff there, a mate of mine has all the display items from the first movie, posters cut out etc.

    Some art ended on eBay today that I suspect you might have liked, Hursti -

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290585247810

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290585245867

    It's original watercolour art from the 1986 picture book Jaws of Terror: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~s...tuff/jaws.html

    As an insane Ratchet toy fan, I'm also the incredibly proud owner of the original art to pages 14-15 of this book:

    Aww...

    Man, you're dead right about that as all the pieces you've shown/linked here are absolutely stunning and I'm not even that big of a fan of Watercolours!

    They're all pieces of history too! - Wish I had some free wall space.

    Sky Shadow: That is one sexy picture!

    Anyway, I picked up DotM Deluxe Topspin today from Target. I know their sale is on Thursday, but I couldn't wait. Plus it's the first time I've seen this toy anywhere and was the last one there. I paid $28, but saves me time/fuel later searching for this toy in the future. Knowing my luck I'm gonna find this toy everywhere for heaps cheap now. Ah well...

    i bought topspin and jolt today from target as well but went to TRU and grabbed a bumblebee and ratchet ($19ea) and took those back to target and got a refund.

    normally i wouldnt have done this but when i asked a staff member what their price matching policy was (they don't anymore) the guy gave me a rude response and it just pissed me off so much.

    galaxy force wing saber and starscream came in the mail today. looks great combined with optimus but starscream has terrible shoulder/arm articulation -_-
