    To be more accurate though, Onslaught was actually a price match at K-Mart, and what an effing nightmare! I went to Target, no Onslaught (but heaps of Powerglides & Silverbolts), and I knew they had some at K-Mart, so I asked the guy stocking the Transformers at Target to give me a printout of their Universe Ultra price tag. I took this tag straight to K-Mart, showed them, they still insisted on calling Target, and ofcourse the person they got didn't know a Transformer from a toothbrush, so they just said the usual "hmm, I can't seem to find them, so we must be sold out", which translates to "I haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about, just pay me my money so I can go partying tomorrow night". Even describing Powerglide & Silverbolt and the size of the box etc didn't get through to the Target person... Anyhoo, the manager happened to be around, so I thought that was my chance of reason, but no, he was as arrogant as the rest, refusing the price match based on the fact that I told him Target had the same product line, but not that exact product . In the end though, I got Onslaught for the $34.99 courtesy of my 4 year old son throwing the tantrum of all tantrums, my wife looking like she could kill someone for the messing around, and K-Mart just giving in and doing the price match. I guess I can see their perspective though, cause it goes without saying that everyone has a Target price tag printer in their pocket these days, ya just can't be too careful So my attempt to make the price match as convenient for K-mart as possible turned into Stress-Fest 5000... Good times...

    Orly...? You can tell I'm new to this... =oP As that is the case then, I'm so glad and lucky they got some back in stock at a cheaper price =oD

    Pity, because I'm hoping to get Onslaught and Powerglide.
    I can't recall which state, but I remember reading in the sightings and aquisitions threads that someone got a Powerglide when Target had them for $22.49 last week, so hopefully they'll still be around for you or someone can get one and post it to you or something.
