    Even in countries with Targets like Australia, Target exclusives rarely materialise.

    That's because Australian Target has no connection to US Target (they both happen to be department stores with the name "Target", and that's it). However, we do receive some of these toys. The Buzzworthy stuff, for example, has turned up at a few different retailers (Toyworld and Myer are the ones that come immediately to mind).

    The picture of Mirage is curious. If Target were to get an improved version of Kingdom Mirage, I would imagine Amazon would be none too pleased considering they still have their version available for sale last time I checked. All the people that passed on the Amazon exclusive because they didn't want the Beast Wars character would be overjoyed though.

    Pretty sure Wave 1 Buzzworthy Bumblebee Deluxe figures are available in Target Au. In fact, they've slapped a clearance sale on them. Hopefully this means we will get Wave 2 as well soon.

    I guess that makes it a lot less likely huh? I'll still be praying though, maybe Wave 4 when the 2-packs sell out. One day...

    Saw Cliffjumper and Bumblebee in person yesterday, but I have them on pre-order at Hasbro Pulse. I was going to cancel the HP order but it's already been paid for despite the 10/1/22 ship date. Really hope that date moves up.

    Same here, but I called and they were able to cancel & refund me.

    NOTE: the call center people don't have authorization to cancel paid items, they have to escalate it and email you back. So for 6-7 hours I was debating what to do with a 2nd Kup / CJ if the answer was "no, can't cancel".

    Edit: and Target still had the $22.99 price, so I saved $4 plus tax (plus 5% target discount)

    Well I found their boxes at my local Target today. The figures? Replaced with ER CJ and SS86 Kup. They were the only copies on the shelves. I've never seen repack jobs in person before, can't believe people actually do this.

    Thankfully I got them off of Pulse, but I feel bad for anyone who doesn't know better.

    Here is my Target's Transformers section March 1st, 8th and today. Gave them the DCPI for Cliffjumper off the website, they said there's none in the warehouse and none on the way. Yipee, another ebay exclusive

    They handled n this entire thing horribly. No Target in NYC had these figures;I only wanted Cliff jumper. The targets can't or won't order them so if you're in a state or country without a Target, you're out of luck.

    Ridiculous.

    I was at my closest Target (Fairmont, NY) on Monday and they had 1 Buzzworthy Kup, I was actually shocked that I saw one in the wild. They also had quite a few SS86 Sweeps.

    I'm actually surprised that in the almost-empry shelves everywhere I go the Sweeps are shelfwarming pretty hard... got 20% off one at target last week, just so I can say I have 1 Sweep for Scourge to berate and Galvatron to shoot

    This release has acted as an intervention for me. I'm no longer buying versions that are not exactly what I want, especially when Hasbro and an exclusive retailer make it hard. If Hasbro wants to sell me a Cliffjumper, it will be in anime paint in a mainline Studio 86 package. That goes for Blaster and every other Legacy or Buzzworthy release. My only regret is buying multiple WfC releases that will likely get replaced.

    I note that, while Cliffjumper and Kup sold out on Pulse in hours, B-127 is still available... :cool:

    I've been finding a tremendous amount of Sweeps too. Too bad Cliff didn't go out that way.

    Don't use the individual DCPI, you have to use the one for the case assortment of all three

    What's the DCPI and where do I input it? I doubt my local stores have gotten it anyway.

    Yeah, I’ve been seeing an alarming number of Sweeps lately. Which is sad, because Hasbro does the right thing and doesn’t short pack the army builder and… yeah. I have my three so I did my part.

    087-16-5983. You’ll have to ask a Target associate with it, whereas it doesn’t work on Brickseek or PopFindr
