    I hadn’t decided if I was going to get T-Wrecks but its nice of Target to decide for me. Out of stock straight out the gate, guess you can never teach an old dog new tricks.

    I feel most will have gotten a hold of the JP crossover before we will get this guy.

    I've been watching this page, as well, to see if they put any Transformers up that, for whatever reason, might not show up on the Geek Out page. Nothing new there, either.

    Lame.

    Honestly, I actually like the JP crossover figure better overall.

    To be fair the preorder was up for over a week, possibly two.

    To be fair I wasn’t going to sign up for/nor have a RedCard. This is on Target & Hasbro for not making this available for anyone outside of a stupid credit card.

    That was for Red Card holders only. It was said it would be available to everyone today. That said even those of us that preordered with a Red Card are looking at delays.

    So was I the only person able to successfully order one for pickup?

    Like, in the whole country?

    I checked all targets surrounding two major areas (Dallas and Atlanta) and neither showed any store having it available.

    I get it, but it isnt just a credit card, they've had a debit version for years now.

    Your area may be one of the first to have it in stock. An item has to typically be in stock at the store to be able to order for store pickup.

    There's a debit card too. No credit check, no approval, just link a bank account. If you want the Red Card exclusive, maybe get a Red Card? Sure, the extra stock goes out to everyone but there's no guarantee that there will be enough to go around once that happens.

    Maybe Target will reopen preorders on SS86 Slug. I’ll be fine with that. Haha.

    I should note I never intended to suggest I’d riot. I’d just be making a very grumpy phone call/online chat

    Well, doesn't look like worlds will be colliding today, so no point worrying about it.

    I've seen it randomly be available again, likely someone canceling theirs after finding one in store. Honestly, I think many of us will get him in store first. All of my preorders got pushed back.
