BTs/ALTs are much like MPs in that you have to ensure that everything is transformed absolutely correctly. If you have even a single part not aligned perfectly then it can affect the entire transformation. So if your Smokescreen's parts aren't lining up right, I recommend going back several steps and trying again. Hasbro's crappy instructions also don't help.#BinaltechFTW

Rang the Target in Swan Hill last night. Here is the discussion between me and a 19yo sales assistant:
Me: Hi, I know your toy sale starts next Tuesday night. I wanted to find out if you will be getting in a Transformer I'm after. It's called "Platinum Edition: Ultra Magnus" It's a Target Exlusive.
Them: Oh um, I can't see it on the shelves. I don't think we have it.
Me: Yes I know you don't have it yet, I wanted to know if you are getting it in for your toy sale next week.
Them: What size is it?
Me: It's fairly big in a stylized box.
Them: No, I can't see it. The only big Transformers we have I can see are Optimus Primes.
Me: No, I know you don't have it yet. I want to know if you are getting it in for your toy sale.
Them: Whats it called again?
Me: "Platnium Edition Ultra Magnus". It's a Target Exclusive.
Them: An Ultra Magnet
Me: No (gritting teeth), Ultra Magnus
Them: No, well if it excludes Target we woudln't be getting it anyway.
Me: No, it's exclusive TO Target!
Them: Oh, then yes we should be getting it in.
Me: So you are getting it in?
Them: Where did you see it?
Me: Your online Toy Catalog
Them: Well, then we should be getting it in
Me: So are you getting it in?
Them: Well I don't know. No-one here would know
Me: (with a mixture of disbelief & exasperation) You don't know what toys you are getting in for your toy sale?!
Them: No, we just take what we are given
Me: Click
So I am going to trek down there today, catalog printed out in hand and hit them up in person. Our Target is that small that there is a good chance they wont get it in so hopefully if I can get someone to understand they can order it in for me.
P.S: I posted this in the Target Toy Sale thread but I am that irritated I had to post it again in the vent section

I just went down there and they had 16 sitting on the shelves!
The woman could not have done a cursory check when I rang yesterday?Of course not, that would have required some semblence of competence on her part.

Report it their customer service website. If they don't know about it, they will be less likely to do anything about it.

Already done, though considering the small town and me being the only Transformer nut in it, I hope it doesn't come back to bite me on the arse
