All while Target now says shipping is unavailable. It makes me almost want to pay that much, but it's almost double the price for 2 voyagers. I'm holding out hope that maybe stores around me might get some in stock eventually, and they don't all get bought up by scalpers.
As soon as I saw the “in stock” notice on Target’s site for my local store, I drove over, and while there were none on the shelves, a helpful employee looked on his handheld device and said there some in the stock room, so he went and found one for me and brought it up front. At this point, if you can’t find it in Target stores, that may be the best price you see since they are going for around $150 on Ebay.
I would recommend waiting things out a little bit. Last year the Rainmakers set trickled out similarly, then were out in full force and by back to school time, many stores were clearancing them. They also came into and out of stock on Target's website a couple times as well with a few of the times being available for a while, not just blink and you miss it.
How much was it at Target in store?
Does their website list them, I couldn't find them? Do we expect the price to be what TFsource is posting or can we get it cheaper from somewhere else?
Thanks

Aerodynamics be damned!
As for Dirge, I like that shade of blue, but why couldn't the person taking the shot transform him all the way? Or is he just missing an arm? Is this a factory reject that was scooped out of the trash?

Just go for it, it's probably the only shot you'll get. They've been putting old stock up for pre-order lately when no one else is, and getting it in pretty quick. Just had the same thing happen with a mini revoltech Iron Man Mk6

It's the cost of buying it a year late unfortunately. He was a popular titan, very few deals and they only lasted very short periods of time

It seems to be a partial transformation, I can see what looks like the base of the folded-up left arm. Thrust was in an odd partly-transformed state too, in the leaked photos of him.Rodimus Prime wrote:As for Dirge, I like that shade of blue, but why couldn't the person taking the shot transform him all the way?

Meaning in US dollars? Eh, could have been worse.
I'm glad I jumped on Omega when it was on sale at 200$CAN (146$US) at Walmart instead of the normal 250$CAN (182$US). Plus taxes but at least the shipping was free.
Omega is an amazing titan well worth the money.

They were $59.99 in store, same on the website.
Here is a link to the item on Target.com (if it works).

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Good to know. The link worked, but of course out of stock, wish we could order them.
Why are they doubled the price on TFsource? Ebay I expect supply and demand. Disappointed to see that price on TFsource.

It is quite rediculous pricing. The couple times it has come back in stock online, it's gone in a couple minutes. The email restock notification woke me up this morning, and in the 9 minutes or so before waking up and looking at my phone they were sold out again.

Maybe next chapter in the current trilogy.

Pretty sure any power up gimmick will be scrapped. Magnus was justified and Shockwave was half-assed, so it seems the 'Evolution' gimmick is dead and gone by now with Leaders.

It's the Autobot Clones, Cloudraker and Fastlane, we don't have to guess. The set was mentioned in the Q&A in direct response to someone asking if the Autobot Clones were getting rereleased to go along with Pounce and Wingspan being out at Target.

Thanks, I just must have missed that bit. I just heard Autobot Clone 2 pack.

I'm hoping it's separately and not in a $90 3-pack (which if so, wouldn't this also probably be an exclusive?) that gets annoying to find.
What will be "hilarious" is if they throw a couple into another exclusive $60 2-pack, then sell the other separately with additional (and non-related/pointless) accessories to justify a marked-up price.

To be honest, I do hope it will be a 3 pack like the Rainmakers. And unlike the Rainmakers, those will be more relevant to get. And if they are produced in large numbers like the Rainmakers were, no one will have a problem to get them.

This is correct, basically it's following how Starscream and his buddies have been handled in Earthrise.

*no one will have a problem getting them besides those in other countries
Hopefully the rain makers show up at bargain stores at some point over here.

Seeing how the TC SW 2-pack is handled, it's a damn same.

Hey thanks for the insight... Between my low interest in the WfC line (although my excitement is up with ER) and being in the middle of 5 online courses (& being a single parent) I haven't had much time to look into this stuff. I'm going to try and stop by here more often and check out the news.
I definitely appreciate this site and all of the people who contribute to it!!

This shows more inventory than at the Target website. I'm guessing Germantown is the closest to you right now, but I suspect that more stores will get inventory over the course of the week.

This is incredibly helpful... I have now received roughly 10 emails from Target that these are "back in stock"... Of course none have paid off!
Right now there are zero in stock at any stores in MO or the KS side of KC, so I won't waste any time going out hunting.
THANK YOU for sharing that link!!!!

Because they are a Target exclusive. Exclusives will always cost more to purchase from the non-exclusive stores.

As someone else noted, comparing this set to the rainmakers set is a mistake. This will be a highly sought-after set as these characters are fan favorites, rarely ever sold together, and one of them is virtually always much more difficult to find when sold separately.

Honestly, that's only been the case starting with SIEGE. Only Classics Thundercracker was particularly hard to find, but Henkei TC made up for that and TC got a 2010 rerelease.SpikeyTigertron wrote:and one of them is virtually always much more difficult to find when sold separately.
Prior to SIEGE, Skywarp (although often a store exclusive) tended to be quite the shelfwarmer. I remember the FOC version lingering, and one Target in my area wasn't rid of the CW version until partway through Power of the Primes.
