    I got Ark, X-Spanse, Rodimus Prime, Road Rage, and Runabout successfully through Target.com They cancelled Galvatron who I had on pre-order after several delays in it's shipping out.

    I currently have the Power Rangers LC Ninja Rangers on pre-order through them as they are exclusives I believe.

    Target Online failed me on my Wave 3 Earthrise, which is weird b/c I actually found them in the store. I also gave up on Thrust and Runabout. Always have a backup!

    Anyone who has a Red card, is Redwing still in stock or no?

    Well that was a waste of signing up then. Only reason I did is because my current one has a broken tab... Perhaps I should just get over it.

    My local Target had the PCS collectible statue of G1 Megs on clearance for $14.99. At $49.99, was just a little too much for what it is. The only way I was going to pick any of these up, was at a good discount.

    They prioritize in store stock than online stock. I actually got Thrust and Runabout when the "notify me when back in stock" option in the app, after they sold out for months. They kept going in and out of stock and after a few tries, I bought them.

    Sorry but there's more benefits that you could use everyday. Like 5% off on every purchase and free shipping on most things without meeting the $35 threshold. The 5% off is nice because it's not a cash back, it's an instant discount and it's stackable with other discounts.

    Is 5% really that big a discount?

    It's not a huge discount but it's certainly nice to have. Especially since it stacks with every other discount and sale that Target may be running at the time.. That said the free shipping on any online order without having to meet a minimum threshold just for having a Red Card will certainly add up much quicker when it comes to savings.

    I got the Red Card and what really comes into play for me is the free shipping and not having to worry about meeting a minimum order. The target warehouses gets in new toys way faster than the Target retail locations but the availability is limited and it comes in batches. I got all of MOTU origins wave 8 from Target.com a couple weeks ago and they were $14.99 each but all the figures kept popping in and out of stock at different times. As soon as one figure came in stock I ordered it and eventually got them all. I ended up with multiple small packages from target.com containing one figure each.

    I got 21 Horde Troopers for my personal collection. I love to army build MOTU Origins. I bought them 2-4 at a time an all on different days to give other people a chance to buy some too since the Horde Trooper is an army builder and they go in and out of stock frequently and very fast. Eventually my plan is to get 36 Horde Troopers. I bought Anti-Eternia He-Man, Clawful, and Sun Man all at separate times and got them each in their own shipment.

    You’re a lot more dedicated than I. I wasn’t sure I wanted to dip in (I had almost everything as a kid, so the nostalgia hit me). Being able to get three Horde Troopers made me keep going.

    I know I've spent atleast $5,000 on TF and SW stuff. some stuff I get during sales, 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% off etc. if it averages out to 5% on every item, then that's a savings of around $250.

    It's a lot more than your checking (or savings or money market, etc) account right now.

    I actually got both through preorders on Targets.com. Funny thing is when they sent out the 2 Thrust they actually sent 4 for some reason even though I only paid for 2. I ended up selling the other 2 to local guys.

    Well not really. 5% of 0 is 0. 0 plus 5% of 0 is 0.
