    It has not been removed. The order confirmation pages which pull info from the product page still say REDcard exclusive, as does the link when you click on the product. They changed it almost immediately once the product page went down. This is becoming an obvious case of "Someone at Target.com listed it early and without the REDcard stipulation that they decided they were going to do". What furthers this thought is that they added it almost immediately after taking the page down. They realized their mistake. I honestly do not know why this is still a thing you refuse to even admit is a possibility, when the page url and product description at this very second say REDcard exclusive. My pictures are straight from the website at this very second. My order confirmation didnt say exclusive because the page was still up then. These photos are straight from my orders on my account, and the link I clicked on my order page.

    Regardless, i'm done talking about it, I will just be hopeful everyone who wants/wanted one, gets one.

    A) I was answering other user's questions, which is why the conversation was continuing.
    B) the URL absolutely does not say anything about REDcard exclusive any more, as evidenced here in this thread, and was changed pretty early today during our conversation this morning about it (although the link is now entirely dead but you can still see that verbiage was removed).
    C) I always was, and still am, open to the possibility that it was intended to be a REDCard exclusive and something got screwed up. My issue was that you and others weren't willing to see it the other way because of two little words being added to a URL (which were later removed) and an email confirmation (which can't be later altered like a URL without sending another email, and why bother just to remove those two words?).

    This is conversation, not war FFS.

    Just a reminder for those worried about needing one: Anyone can get a Target REDcard. You can even apply for it online without going to the store.

    And if you don't want the credit card, you can instead get a Target Debit card, which is a REDcard that is tied to your bank account and takes the money from there (and you'll still save 5%).

    But I’m assuming even with a REDCard it can’t be ordered currently? (Since I missed it earlier apparently...)

    If someone grabs up an extra one, I'm more than happy to buy it off you.

    I wouldn’t think that’s all of them, cuz people can still order GS Megatron on pulse and I would think they would be produced in similar quantities. That’s why I’m leaning towards what I said earlier this was a erroneous listing and they’ll be back up either this week or in November. Redwing is either a target exclusive (which makes sense red, target, redcard) in this case target will be putting the listing back up when it’s supposed to go live or a shared exclusive, in this case target might have blown through their allotment and the other places will be putting it up later on when they are supposed to.

    Transformers Generations Selects Redwing Action Figure (REDcard Exclusive)
    qty 1$29.99


    The listing does currently state Redcard exclusive, though they are honoring and shipping the orders placed earlier in the day that were purchased without a Redcard. Mine has shipped, and I did not use a Redcard. Hopefully this will quell some of the bickering back and forth.

    Mine still hasn't shipped and I don't have a redcard... yep I have every reason to be concerned and worried they'll cancel my order.

    My Redwing was shipped via UPS Surepost, but due to me having Ectotron coming from Gamestop today, UPS is delivering it since "We will be in your area, UPS will deliver this a day early", which is awesome. So Redwing will be here today instead of tomorrow! I know we've seen in hand pics but if anyone wants anymore of how target shipped it, the figure itself, let me know.

    Mine is still in transit. It does give me the option to cancel the order once it reaches the store though; it said it was not able to be cancelled yesterday. Well at least I can get Ectotron (from Pulse) integrated into his new home tonight.

    Mine is still in transit to the store and my PayPal still is in authorization and my credit card has not been charged yet. The transaction may not finish till it is scanned at the store. If they ask me for my Redcard the fight will be on. I have printouts of the product page, the order confirmation, and the confirmed payment from the Target website so I am ready; all with no trace of the "Redcard Exclusive" caveat. But it is probably not going to be an issue.

    It is not. It seems it was taken down due to it going up early by mistake, yesterday morning they took the listing down, added (REDcard exclusive) to the end of the product description, and created a new URL for it. Thankfully, they are fulfilling orders that went through before the takedown though. The current guess is that it will be a SDCC thing that will go up for order immediately after its announcement, similar to Combat Megatron.
