Sweet! I would've bought one but somebody already grabbed all three of them. 
HA Roadbuster finally arrived at my local Target, picked him up tonight.

Why is it that whenever someone makes the first sighting of a figure, they always buy all of them? 
It's pretty selfish, IMO, unless they were picking them up for a friend.

Really the guy bought 3, how about leaving some for the other collectors out there you selfish bastard. Buy one maybe 2 if theres a good amount then wait for another shipment to get another dont be so fracking greedy, this is one of the reasons why its so hard to find wheeljack, warpath and many other figures right now. That and there just arent enough shipments being sent out and/or ordered. This is also a big reason as to why store exclusives suck, either scalpers grab them all & put em on ebay at retarded prices or all the collectors start fighting over then cause the store only gets a few.

Human Alliance Topspin doesn't exist. Not yet. He hasn't been mentioned anywhere, so he may not see the light of day.
Human Alliance Roadbuster and Leadfoot are the only HA Wreckers in existence.

There is a guy that goes to my toysrus that pulls the same crap! I beat him there the other day and got my hands on ONE masterpiece rodimus. I left three on the shelf but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth cause that scumbag will probably scalp the heck out of em! The way to beat these scalpers is not to buy them off ebay!! I also am still looking for wheeljack. My toysrus claims they havent gotten him in yet..but one can only speculate.

Wow you really put that guy out there !!! LMAO !!! If you look at the item location in the auction it says "Riverside CA" and on the Target reciept it says "Rancho CA". If you do a google search it comes out that Rancho is located in Riverside.
What I think is pathetic is scalping retail items to make 10 or 20 bucks profit. Thats chump change.

Target usually creates stock piles in the back stock room & releases store exclusives on set nationwide strict release dates.
Target tries really hard to release store exclusives on the same excat day nationwide in america.
MY GUESS: since this guy who has the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoots days/weeks before anyone else. this can only mean he acquired the toys by either tricking a store employee to grab the item from the back stock room against strict release dates. or he's a target employee who searched in the back stock room for these 3 items against the strict toy release dates.
INSTEAD of calling the guy names. why not just do the mature thing & call the target store from the guys receipt. then notify this store that their is a employee or customer that is acquiring stuff against the strict store release dates.
UPDATE: I just took a second look at that receipt. the guy apparently used his credit card to pay for the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoot's. so if he got them illegially against store release dates & is a TARGET STORE EMPLOYEE,if people call the target store number on the top right corner of the receipt they can get this guy fired for abusing his store employee strict rules. It shouldn't be too hard for the store to identify who made this purchase based off the guys credit card info located on the receipt.

To those that are criticizing about me buying 3. There was 12 on the shelves when I got there. I bought 3. One for me and the other two for fellow board members. If I was a scalper, I would have cleared the shelves and deprive others. One thing that people seem to forget that Target exclusives tend to be plentiful at release time.
Why do people always cry scalping when people buy multiples? Jealousy? Or are some of you just trying to be a douchebag? There are people out there that help other fans out without asking nothing in return.

The fandom cries scalper every time a new figure hit retails. Don't worry about those who "cry-scapler", and kudos for helping out your fellow collectors. I live in a very rural part of Oklahoma so I have a friend who lives in OKC pick up an extra when new figures hit. I'm sure anyone who sees him buying multiples thinks he scalper, especially since I'm not the only person he hooks up.

Otherwise, for people who like HA Leadfoot, that's a good find.

Thanks and I don't let them bother me. It just amazes me. Like the post that I just responded. If the poster is who I think it is, he's an idiot that got banned from TFW2005 and one of the only guys that posts on ATT.
But, yeah. The other HA Leadfoots are for fan's in the UK where they don't have a Target at all.

DAMN! For all of the peeps calling Waverider a scalper you guys are ruining his find. I know him from trades we've done, and NEVER has he charged/ valued anything more than current retail price. He is one of the most honest and fair board members in the fandom.
I agree with El Duque that just jumping out there and calling someone a scalper when new product hits and someone buys multiples isn't fair. Its like a witch hunt, and makes you guys look jealous and envious. If ANYONE is to be bitched it its your local Targets, and your own level of patience. SMH. I don't post here often, but part of the reason why is cause the members here sometimes comes across as rude, and not as invested in congratulating fellow collectors, and using the info they share to assist them in searching for figures. If Waverider hadn't posted the pics would you even know that Leadfoot was out... And now that he cleared it up that there were actually 12 figures on the shelf, how many people who bashed him, will take the time to drop a simple, My Bad or I'm sorry reply? I'm sure more will take the time to tell me to F off, or call me a scalper supporter. tsk tsk tsk.

I'd have bought them all and sold all but one to the highest bidders. I have no problem letting supply and demand work in my favor. This, however, is an issue that has been beaten dead long ago. Nothing will change.
Congrats on finding the figures you lucky *&#!
Oh, and 12 on the shelves? I've never seen that many of the same figure out on the shelves before. Seems high.

Just got this guy at Daly City Target in CA and there were still three left on the shelf. They also had a ton of the Target Deluxe exclusives (except, oddly, Jazz) so I don't think we need to panic quite yet. I like that he's $30 rather than $36.
And all the people ragging on the OP need to learn the difference between scalping and hooking a brother up.

Shall we celebrate the release of Human Alliance Leadfoot or continue the misguided campaign of scalper hate? Because if it's the latter, then I'm not going to take it very well. Let's show why we're educated people and talk about the subject at hand.

Human Alliance Topspin doesn't exist. Not yet. He hasn't been mentioned anywhere, so he may not see the light of day.
Human Alliance Roadbuster and Leadfoot are the only HA Wreckers in existence.

HE'LL DO IT! I SEEN IT HAPPEN! HE'LL SHOOT!
Anyway, Glad I didn't see this until now, well, I did, but didn't wan't to be a part of an argument. Sooo, I just waited it out. ANYWAY, It's a good find, and, well, we all want a leadfoot. your luck IMO, is very high. but 12? Iv'e only ever seen a max of, oh say... three $30.00 HA Figures in one spot. So far have Sideswipe, bumblebee, and Barricade. All great fun too. I want Jazz, Skidz, Mudflap, Roadbuster, Leadfoot, and Soundwave, but.. well, Stores round these parts arn't very fruitful when it comes to the $30.00 Figures. never were. Soundwave isn't even around yet, so whatever, but still, lucky.

I don't know what's so hard about having 12 exclusives on the shelves. Especially since there is 4 Leadfoot per case.
Anyways, this may help some of you in the hunt.

@Waverider 01 .I would just like to say ,sorry . I was just venting cause i have not seen him yet ,and everybody began to complain about "Sellers" and it brought me back to the Generations line .The prices on ones like Wreck-Gar ,just skyrocketed so fast ,that i thought "oh great here we go again ". It is none of our business what you do with the three you found ,you bought them. I didn't mean any harm with my post, i meant it not to be taking so serious ,note the Peter Griffin quote .

I think you guys should lay off this user. Many of these items sold this way get to our overseas friends. We live in a capitalist society and Targets are a dime a dozen. This happens with each and every hot figure. Best way to beat a "scalper", is just to beat them at their own game. Instead of complaining about it and being upset, get down to your local Target and pick one up. There's little point to villainizing someone for providing a service that helps other collectors get their hands on these figures that feel there is a value in paying for secondary market prices.
Don't want to pay marked up eBay prices? Wait a few weeks to find the figure cheaper. The DPCI number was posted in this topic ... go to your local Target, give them the DPCI (or better yet go to a Target that has the price checkers where you can input the DPCI number yourself to verify their stock), and you too can have HA Leadfoot in your hands before the day is over.

Zellers was bought by Target, or Target is buying some of their stores or something major like that. Canada will have Targets within the next couple of years.

In the meantime, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Target exclusive figures start showing up at Zellers stores over the course of the next year or so.

Target won't care about this. Not at all. Instead of spending time doing something that Target could care less about and is 100% legal, go up to your local Target instead and find the figure for yourself. Each store is getting more than enough to please fans.

Target usually creates stock piles in the back stock room & releases store exclusives on set nationwide strict release dates.
Target tries really hard to release store exclusives on the same excat day nationwide in america.
MY GUESS: since this guy who has the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoots days/weeks before anyone else. this can only mean he acquired the toys by either tricking a store employee to grab the item from the back stock room against strict release dates. or he's a target employee who searched in the back stock room for these 3 items against the strict toy release dates.
INSTEAD of calling the guy names. why not just do the mature thing & call the target store from the guys receipt. then notify this store that their is a employee or customer that is acquiring stuff against the strict store release dates.
UPDATE: I just took a second look at that receipt. the guy apparently used his credit card to pay for the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoot's. so if he got them illegially against store release dates & is a TARGET STORE EMPLOYEE,if people call the target store number on the top right corner of the receipt they can get this guy fired for abusing his store employee strict rules. It shouldn't be too hard for the store to identify who made this purchase based off the guys credit card info located on the receipt.

Using the DCPI numbers is actually the best way to get anything from a target. Sometimes when I mention the number the employee breathes a sigh of relief. I guesws it makes heir job that much easier
I agree with Ryan along with many others on this subject btw If I buy multiples of figures I ALWAYS try and hook up board members first..IMO it's family first
