question:
Deluxe class: Currently Sky Lynx.

is there another deluxe planned after this?

 

Yes. There is a second figure for the Deluxe & Voyager ones, and a second set of 2 each for the two packs. I don't know them off the top of my head, but if you find the news post for Predacons Rising, it'll list/show the others. I know the Legion one has a recolor of the winged predacon & Bumblebee and the commander is Shockwave and the insecticon. Come to think of it, the second deluxe is Bumblebee and the voyager is a Predaking recolor, IIRC

 

thank you! cant wait for the predaking recolor! bee....we'll see.
thanks for the thread!

 

So I went to my target this morning, and they reset the toy isle for the Transformers and there is no spot for Metroplex. Why??? When are they supposed to get him in? Unless he is coming later closer to Christmas????

 

Here's a list and a link.

Optimus Prime and Predaking Commander 2 Pack
Abominus Combiner (Blight, Windrazor, Twinstrike, Hun-Gurrr, Rippersnapper)
Voyager Dark Steel
Voyager Cryofire Predaking
Deluxe Sky Lynx
Deluxe Nova Blast Bumblebee
Legion Bumblebee and Blight
Legion Smokescreen and Cindersaur
Commander Shockwave and Bombshock
Beast Fire Predaking

Fun fact: the shipping cases for this first wave of Predacons Rising are actually stamped with the names of the second wave figures. So the case of Optimus & Predaking actually says on it that it's Shockwave & Hardshell inside and so on.

 

Has anyone had their Darksteel ship for them yet? I preordered mid July and haven't received a shipping notification yet and in my account, it still says 'not shipped'.

I tried emailing them to see if I could get an approximate shipping date but I received an email back saying I'd have to call them. Which I'll do but cant from work.

 

Updated to add Kre-O, I'll check Rescue bots and add them once I make it back to a Target.

 

Is the lookup part of the website not working for you guys either?

"error while making the request. please contact system administrator."

 

Every now and again it will fail randomly. Try putting in the zip code of the next town over, or clear your cookies and try again. If that doesn't work, check back in a few hours.

 

This thread is awesome! I hope it stays kept up for the foreseeable future.

 

Last update for now, as rescue bots is now complete. Enjoy guys!

 

Post-reset, the Kre-O product at my Target is not even in the Lego aisle at all anymore. It's in the next aisle over, opposite a wall of pink that I assumed were girl toys.

 

I think officially they're supposed to have one "construction" aisle with Lego on one side and non-Lego on the other, but some stores will always buck the trend.

 

I haven't read this entire thread but, figured you'd like to know... when someone buys an item in store, stock doesn't change until the close out that night when the registers are counted down. So if they have it in stock, it was in stock before the open of business that day, it may have been sold some time during the day and no one will be able to tell you until that night when registers close.

At least this is what I've been told by several managers at several locations.

Take it or leave it, just my $.02

 

That may have been true at some point in the past, but it is no longer true. Just the other week when Star Wars Black 6" figs showed up I bought all 4 at the target by my house then drove to work, checked online and they were listed as "out of stock." (They were listed as "in stock" before I left my house). That's about 30 mins and it showed up online. Next time I happen to buy the last of something I'll pull up my phone and check it just before and after I buy to see how quick it is in real time.

 

So I went to double check this the other day (I bought the last few FoC Primes at one store to return to another and try to force a restock) and sure enough it didn't update till sometime in the overnight.

BUT I know I've seen it update in relatively "real time" as well. So I'm not sure if certain items get updated quicker, or if its certain stores, or if it just matters how busy the computer system is, or what. So I'll add that caveat to the first post.

 

With the recent reveal of the Target-exclusive Beast Hunters DVD, what do you think about listing DPCIs for whatever Transformers DVDs are available? And for that matter, what about Transformers tie-in merchandise like the backpacks they have in the back-to-school department?

 

I don't mind posting DVDs, but digging around for T-shirts and backpacks, etc, might be too much for me. That said, if someone wants to get them for me I'll post them in that 3rd post that still says "saved for future updates"

All you have to do to find a DPCI in store is scan the item in the price checker, but note clothes usually have unique #s for each size.

 

A new planogram has shown up in the system with a set date the week of September 8. It didn't look to me like any Transformers were moving from the current locations, but just about everything was gaining an additional location. I'm thinking endcap, but I have no way to confirm it.

Metroplex was not included in this planogram, before anyone gets their hopes up.
