    The Targets here in Phoenix rarely update their shelves lol. they still got tons of garbage from age of extinction clogging the pegs. and RiD stuff too. hardly any (if at all) stuff from the Combiner Wars unless you count literally the very 1st Wave. So I highly doubt I'll be seeing either G1 giftset at any of them.

    You do realize you're talking about completely different toys, right?

    This is good, but only because it means they can possibly be clearanced later. $75 is ridiculously expensive for me. I'm not attached to them like older G1 fans, so... it's a bit of a hard sell, unless you personally owned them as a kid. :/

    I'm just sayin' that G1 Dinobots would probably sell better, and not just with G1 fans. :confused2

    Considering Toys R Us priced the others at $35 over 10 years ago, $75 for each of these is great. Especially since the reissues of Ramjet and Thrust were selling for $200 around 10 years ago (who knows how much more they were going for recently).

    These are available on Target.com as well. With the Redcard or prepaid Redcard that's free shipping and 5% off.

    Finding them at all is actually a difficulty in itself.

    Yeah, remembering how much this would be if Toys R Us was the store selling this set is the very reason why I think $75 for all three is a great deal.

    No Target stores here, nor do I think there ever will be. It's probably for the best though, I need to reduce my spending anyway :lol

    Those are a much better price than the recent Insecticon set

    Ha. $75. I would snap it up without a second thought for that. Is wish the Insecticons were $75. Wanna know how much TRU are selling it over here? $200!

    Does it have a red and white sticker label on the box that has a barcode on it along with the words "AS-IS"? Like in this example...

    Checking on the DPCI 087-06 3637, only the Rosemead Target and Westminster Target have at least one in my immediate area. I think these may very will be returns if only 2% of all Target Stores have them right now. Although if it was a return one would think that the price would be reduced.

    G1 Ramjet is the only Seeker I need, but I always thought he was so plain looking, being mostly white with a clear canopy. He might have looked better with a yellow or orange one to give him a little color.

    I wonder, do these have stickers on their wings, or are they tampographs? And do their launchers work, or at least hold their missiles?

    No paint applications on these, it is all stickers, and none are factory applied.

    Only Thrust has firing missiles - I haven't opened mine yet, but he has to at least be able to hold them even if they don't fire.
