    Target.com also in the US.

    Came online at 12 AM PST,

    Was able to log-in and purchase her on my account. However, subsequent visits show her as no longer available.

    Just got an order confirmation email, so I'm hoping they honor it even if it was a premature listing.

    That may be true, but since he posted it up first, he should get the news cred. ;) 

    i saw your thread and it looked like you were actually trying to snag the cred instead of posting the link to this thread on yours.

    Kinda not cool. :p

    it was probably removed due to being posted up BEFORE the may 17th street date. ;)

    Ugh. I want this set, but I got too much else goin on. UW and G2 Bruticus are gonna take precedence so I'm gonna put Victorion on the back burner for now.

    I've gotten her listing to show up for purchase again by reloading the page.

    From my confirmation email,

    So.... How are you seeing this on the Target site exactly? I've typed in numerous things and she doesn't pop up for me at all.

    My thread is a tad older, so I cannot see how anyone could claim first dibs.

    How can they cancel it if it's already available for purchase in multiple places?

    Also, I can still access the Target listing:
    Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Victorion Collection Pack: Target

    That's weird, I just type in "Transformers", sort by "newest" and it's right there.

    Dates of 5/17 being thrown around as the release date and the listing suddenly disappearing sporadically as I showed in the pics on my posts.

    [​IMG]

    I had assumed it was a premature listing and an error, but she's now showing up every time I click her page.

    EDIT: Bought it just as the listing went live, hence why it wasn't quite permanent yet :eek:

    No hate mail but this thing to me looks like a hot mess. If anyone wants this thing have at it.

    I mean online. I don't even try to buy transformers in stores anymore. You can get the G2 ones for 65-75 bucks right now.

    They're supposed to be "online exclusives", in the sense that you can get them from Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, Hasbro Toy Shop, TFSource, Target.com, Toysrus.cam, Walmart.com, Kmart.com and a lot of other online stores.

    Victorion being found at a few brick and mortar Target stores is currently still considered a fluke.

    +1. To each their own, as they say.

    Mostly, I want us to boycott this mess, and send Hasbro the message that we're not gonna buy a phoned-in design that Frankenstein's a bunch of pieces, paints on some lipstick, and calls it a female combiner! :lol
