The Earthrise hunt continues! Following our first local Earthrise Micromasters sighting, now we can report that the new Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime And Astrotrain have been found at US retail.
This information comes via Reddit user Deceptibot9 who shared an image of these figures that were found at Target in Boise, Idaho (no receipt image yet). As we can see for the images, Optimus Prime comes with blue hands and eyes. You also have a new chance to grab the Astrotrain now in Earthrise packaging. We had reported this packaging variant last week from a sighting in Chile.
Time to check your local Target stores to try to grab these figures for your collection! Happy hunting!

Very well said!
Sorry. I appreciate your thoughtful response, even if I don't agree with your view. I can say that if enough fans can afford it, it would honestly be best for Hasbro to continue raising prices. Just like Eisner did with Disney Land/World. Unfortunately, the result will ultimately mean less sales, but more profit per sale. If that's something you guys are willing to accept, I'm not going to argue for your wallets! It's your money! Pay as much as you want.

Yup. Guaranteed delivery by Friday also. So if they don't make it by then ebay gives you 5.00 back so apart of me hopes it shows up on Saturday. Lol.

Boise, noice.
I have family there… and that is my contribution to this thread.

Was it the one for $65 shipped ?

Store hunting this time of year can also be potentially hazardous. It's not worth it having your car slide in the snow just to get a toy early.

Ended up paying a little bit above retail on eBay for ER Prime. I’ll consider it even for gas money saved hunting him down around town.

Is there a possibility of part swapping between the Siege Prime and the Earthrise Prime and still be able to transform the figure?…like the legs?…or maybe even the "mid" torso?
carry on….

Starscream is nice. Grapple feels a bit hollow but still pretty good as well.

Yeah, that’s what I was questioning, what they were before ER – odd change….

They're three per, now. Were two per.

Have recent voyager cases been 4x or 2X???

Found an unopened Voyager box in my target. (It's open now!) Contents are 1x starscream and 2x grapple if anyone is interested.
Edit: *if anyone is interested in the case breakdown, I mean.

Still haven’t seen anything at Targets or Walmarts here. One of the local comics shops started carrying Optimus and the micro masters, though. So, people can try calling their local comics stores and see what they got.

You know whats weird? The Targets in my area of Oklahoma have the exact opposite problem: plenty micros and Leader, low speed on restocking those Deluxes and Voyager
GoldDeadEnd
I live in Florida and my stores keep stocking leaders. Micromasters were gone past wave 2. I don't remember if Battlemasters were stocked to begin with.

So have most Walmarts in USA stopped selling Leader class and Micromaster 2 packs/
Targetmasters outright? SIEGE was the first CHUG line where I only see Deluxes and Voyagers sold at WM in my area.
Do you think this was a one time thing or the current state of CHUG at WM?

Well I didn't get *any* as the result in some cases, so not even settle LOL
