    What a sane and healthy way to sell toys this is.

    Yeah - they came in stock twice last night - missed them both times :( . But this suggests that it pays to be vigilant.

    Kind of annooying - I have found Siege Springer & Cybertron OP at 3 different Targets in my area. But my preorder for them, from several months ago (where I used those $-off toys coupons) keeps getting pushed back. Now listed as backordered, they have pushed them back 3 times. Ugh.

    Strange that Hasbro would produce artisan Rainmakers, lovingly handcrafted one at a time over the course of several weeks, but I have to assume the quality will be worth it.

    Yeah, I have the same happening with Springer. I'm starting to wonder how many times it will get pushed before they give up and say "we cant get this item" and just cancel my order. This is my first preorder experience with Target. Not impressed. That sale price is the only thing keeping me from cancelling him and Thundercracker and going with Pulse or Amazon.

    You can only track them on brickseek with the assortment DCPIs, so while they do have individual ones they are useless to collectors.

    Anyone know what the DCPI is for the Studio Series voyagers? (The all encompassing one, not for a single figure)

    Rainmakers just popped into stock and then promptly back out of stock. Less than a minute. I managed to snag a set. Thank you, Target app notifications.

    I get like 3 notifications from 3am EST to 10am. I just randomly refresh the page every now and then on my phone. I snagged one like 1hr after a notification.

    The heck with these guys. I'm not trusting them on online ordering. Just canceled springer and Thundercracker. I'll suck it up and forego the sale price and purchase these at MSRP elsewhere and get them before 2020

    I have a sneaking suspicion that my rainmakers are going to turn up "lost in transit" and get cancelled. I've gotten two delay notices already and they've been in transit to store for a week.

    My Micromasters just arrived via UPS...the shipping box looked like an accordion and was ripped open on the bottom and torn down the side.

    Literally, the only thing holding the last bit of it together was one of those strands found in the packing tape. And, needless to say, the toy's packaging was crushed.

    Quintuple sigh (I'm running out of sighs).
