    Got to love Target's packing. Got my clone 2 pack today in a shipping box 10x the size of the box the figures were in. No filler to take up the room. Every damn corner of the box all smashed to hell from flip flopping all over inside the way oversized shipping box. First & last time I'm having them ship anything to my home. Never ever had this issue when I had items shipped to store for pick-up. So much for trying to save myself an hour drive round trip. :mad:

    Oh dang. That makes me a feel a little better about missing Slitherfang (I'm only looking for maybe 2 more, he's a cool dude).

    They did the same with my order for Seekers. I just ordered two movies from them and they packed them in a medium size box with no protection.

    Keep checking your local stores on Popfindr. It looks like my area just got another batch today at a few stores.

    Same thing happened with my Clones. Similarly, my Thundercracker/Skywarp set just arrived in today's mail in a huge box with no packing material whatsoever.

    More importantly, and not Target's fault, the Seekers' shipping box was beat to hell, was opened up somewhere along the line, and then sloppily re-taped using clear mailing tape.

    Miraculously, there doesn't seem to be any damage to the toy/toy packaging itself.

    Which requires a $25.00 minimum to ship. So guess you guys better have something else to buy or troop build.

    FWIW, MPM Ratchet's preorder is up on the Target app, just placed mine. $120, minus the $6 RedCard discount.

    For exclusive stuff, I really wonder why target doesn't allow prepaid preorders and order their stock based on that.

    Consumers win as they get the product and Target wins because the product is less likely to shelfwarm.

    I think its mostly because these exclusives are meant to drive foot traffic into a store. If they had some sort of pre-order system, then all you'd do is walk to customer service, pick up your pre-order and then leave. The whole point behind all of these exclusive shenanigans is to make you into a regular Target customer.

    I tried ordering Cyberverse Arcee even though it would almost take 1.5 weeks per estimate. Got shipping notice in 1 day, so maybe won't take that long.
