    I don't like these store exclusives. Pulse should get some in stock, right? That's how they're doing it now?

    God, would it kill them to actually communicate if and where they'll be found internationally? Australian Target might get her in stock, but they're sure as hell not gonna make it easy to find out.

    Australian Target is an entirely different company. US store exclusives are usually released via other avenues or at general retail in other countries.

    And Pulse has stocked store exclusives but iirc, we have not seen any Target Exclusives on Pulse yet, but we havent seen any Target exclusives since Pulse started doing that. So T-Wrecks will likely be the indicator later this month.

    There is a chance that its during Target's summer toy thing that ends on the 25th. Thats when T-Wrecks will be revealed.

    FWIW other brands have had Target exclusives up for preorder on Pulse, just not Transformers yet.

    As Nuva points out:
    The Lightning Collection Red Sentry is one such example. The Cobra Island figures from GI Joe are another. I don't know enough about Marvel or Star Wars to be able to definitively say.

    Well, T-Wrecks did go up on UK pulse, and we know in The US he's gonna have a short window of Red card exclusivity. I imagine after that exclusive window closes T-Wrecks will go up on Pulse as well, and Road Rage will likely be handled the same.

    That is my hope too. I don’t want T-Wrecks but he is my test case. I’m hoping that the mysterious 4 pack and Origins Bumblebee show on Pulse too.

    As of Tracks would ever be seen with the likes of those grimy dirt store repaints.

    I'm aware they're a different company, but they have gotten American Target exclusives........... occasionally. That's why I'm saying how it's so hit-or-miss.

    The Netflix line is over after Kingdom. There's no fourth wave that we know of.

    EDIT: I should clarify. "WfC" is over after Kingdom. There will be another toy trilogy and there is another Netflix TF show coming (besides S4 of Cyberverse) but we don't know if those two are related.

    FYI: Today's Target Geek Out entry is a set of Funko Batman and a McFarlane Batman.

    So we've now seen that the promo can include multiple items from the same franchise even across multiple brands.

    Meaning there's a possibility that both Road Rage and T-Wrecks could come out on the same day.

    Even my local supplier(already got a confirmed PO for Galvatron II from them) is still in negotiations with "their" supplier for Roadrage.

    0029F01A-0527-495B-91A4-C651042905E6.jpeg Well looks like Tracks got the same head gaffe Siege Hound got on his box. Correct me if I’m wrong but that looks more like Road Rage’s head design

    Correct. Tracks helmet has a straight line for the cheeks, Road Rage has the cheek plates that angle inward like that.

    It's a distinction without a difference.

    Not as obvious as the Hound one that was completely the wrong character.

    T-Wrecks had a RedCard exclusive preorder window that opened in early July, and then opened up to all on July 25th. Unfortunately he's only available if you already preordered him or can make it to one of a handful of Targets in central Minnesota. (Either in-store or by using the Pickup/Driveup option).

    I have no idea why Minnesota. It's weird, but it's what happened thus far.
