    My gut tells me it won’t be transformers. Looking at all the re-issues from this event, it’s apparent Target doesn’t have a lot of love for Transformers. I’m betting it’s more Funko or Star Wars related items.

    T-Wrecks is likely part of it if his release date holds.

    So the part I'm curious about is that the shipment date has held but it said he's releasing Sunday which usually no carriers operate that day. I'm going to be frustrated if the date eventually does change on Monday or I get a delay email

    Does anyone know how the reveal tomorrow will work? Is everything just getting dumped into the site at 9:00am eastern? I may have to get up early…

    I would assume so. They haven't specified any unique circumstances with that day, so I would assume they're just gonna drop everything they have planned in the morning.

    Hopefully it goes just like most every other day so far, with plenty to go around and lasts for a few hours. I'm confident that'll be the case.

    It would not surprise me at all though if we have a repeat of what happened the first day of the GI Joe drop where there were a couple hours delay before you could actually add anything to cart.

    I'd assume that's why the arrival window is larger.

    Well, unless something else is going to drop later in the day on some hidden part of the page, there’s absolutely nothing new being released today other than putting all the ‘-Con’ merchandise specials together.

    Pack it up folks, that’s it, we’re done, I’m out. See you all when Origin Bee or the Four-Pack officially get revealed by Target…

    I was just able to order T-Wrecks for Drive Up via the app.

    Go to his listing, and if he's available near you it should give you the option to "Add to Cart" provided you can find a store with stock.

    I'll report back once stores open and I can verify my order was completed. Also worth noting store availability may increase as we get closer to opening and more stores update their stock.

    Looks like what’s on the page today are some items that couldn’t be purchased on their original reveal dates. We’ll see at 9:00EDT

    It legit said big reveal, not re-reveal of things we already put up for sale this month. I doubt the funko con pops will even be available. Lol. What a disaster. Hopefully we will be proven wrong at 9.

    I can’t wait to have my online order cancelled automatically for “No available stock” while he’s sitting at stores

    It's marketing's job to bring in eyeballs, so they call it a big reveal, even if it's a non-reveal of Funko Pops. It's just marketing.

    Only to get all snatched up by scalpers the moment the inventory arrives.

    Yet we lazy humans want to let the algorithms replace these jobs so this is the shit that’s going to be happening from now on.

    As long as the nobleman get paid, they don’t care what the fucks going on with the scraps given out to peasants unless they loot and burn one of their stores.
