Washington had them, specifically the Tacoma store. They were sold out because I just went to check tonight but I got a raincheck.

I said funny as in I wasn't willing to spend $30 on a MS when I have a bit coming, but I was more than willing to spend $20. Now I have 3 cars in the 49mhz range. I'm willing to get 1 more ms for modding.

Sunday- Checked the Target in Owings Mills, MD. None of the shelf. Called Columbia, MD store, they had four, never got their.
Last Night- Called the Owings Mills, MD store, none. Called the Columbia, MD store, none. Called the Ellicott City, MD store and got hung up on. Stopped at the Ellicott City, MD store and bought two of the last five they had on the shelf.
Before going to the Target I stopped at a Hobby shop in Columbia Mall. A week ago they had MS for 29.95, now they are 39.95. I will pay 39 for a true Tomy Bit, but not for a frequency restricted US Microsizer, the guy is nuts.
Also, beware, there are mall kiosks that are selling clones for 30 bucks a crack and telling people they are the originals and better than anything you can get in the stores. Most that I have seen are the Leyu's but there are others I am sure. I have seen a few clones at hobby shops and such, but they are running 10-15 bucks.
Just my .02

Tiny, the Carpenter Rd Target had some about a week ago, but not at the $20 dollar price. Since they never stocked alot of them they were hard to find. Also the Arborland Toy's R Us had them at one time about a month ago but havent seen them since. Im sure if they had them now they would price match Target.

Monday morning, I checked 3 of the Target stores on the West side of Portland, OR (Washington County for you fellow Oregonians) and they were sold out at the Tigard, Beaverton (Beav-Hillsdale Hwy), and Hillsboro stores. I was TICKED OFF b/c as I walked into the Beaverton store, I saw an off-duty Target employee walking to the registers with FOUR Microsizers only to soon discover that they were the LAST four in the store. After asking sales associates about more stock, they told me that they were all sold out!
After leaving that store totally TICKED off, I ran a few errands then decided to try the Beaverton (Tanasbourne) store. In that store there were about 7 left! I grabbed 3 microsizers, the Honda S2000, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Subaru WRX (one for my 4yr old's Christmas gift, the other two for me )
This was just perfect b/c I now have all four channels of Microsizers/Bits (I imported 2 from Toy East) and don't have to worry about my son destroying one of my imported ones!
YAY!

Unfortunately in all of the stores I looked at here in Oregon, they sold the cars only. I imagine (assuming that there is at least ONE smart toy dept. manager in the bunch) that due to the high demand of these toys, they'll be carrying the parts soon!

As of 11 AM on Wed Nov27, the Fullerton Target on Yorba Linda Blvd. in Fullerton, CA still had 7 microsizers on the shelf, mostly 49 Mhz, a coupla 27 Mhz.
They were out when I called on Monday, so they must have just gotten a new shipment.

$20 mircosizer at targets
This is true because I brought one on sunday. You see if you bring the targets cirtular to toyrus they will match thier price but there one problem
the mircosizer come with that cheap 1.0 motor by the time you up grade to a 2.6 or 3.0 motor that tomy doesn't make yet, you see by the time you up grade the cars you would have spent about 30 any way. So do yourself a favor and purchase a lxx cars with a 3.0 motor for $10.00 replace the body with a light one and race. by the way the lxx handles a whole lot better then the mircosizer anyway. Proof I was racing around a track "I mean real racing not running my cars around the floor racing" and all my friends mircosizer was only doing tailspins. 
PS: you won't believe your racing experience.
by the way I am having a few races tonight for Thanksgiving.

I have just returned from Target with 3 microsizers in tow!
27 Mhz Subaru Impreza (blue)
49 Mhz Mitsu Lancer Evo VII (yellow)
49 Mhz Honda S2000 (yellow)
I'm gonna let my little brother choose one of these and then the S2000 (cause he won't like the S2000) is going to a lady at my church for her little boy. Then either the Subie or the Mistu will be mine as a backup for my GTR. Cool stuff guys. thanks for the heads up!
