Dang, I was calling Wal-Mart! :sad:

Seriously though, not surprised. I mean, they don't fit in any standard assortment (Deluxe Voyager or Ultra) so they'd have to be exclusives... Right?

Bruticus is definitely the better of the two, but now I'm more inclined to the original Energon version... Who has one? ;;)

I don't consider that bad news.

Tue Nov 11, 2008 4:45 pm

I guess I'll have to pick it up when I get my Springer/Ratback set.

I'm not completely surprised, though I was hoping they;d be a general release.

Still, why can't anybody put Bruticus's hand on right. And Superion's leg is also wrongly assembled.

i dont mind if target has these figure to them selves im surprised there exclusive to traget only and not toysrus but for bad news i meant it to the poeple who was hopping he wouldnt be an exclusive only to those members not to everyone.

Not surprised they're exclusives, but I figured they would be WM exclusives like Classics Devastator. Target has been getting some nice exclusives lately.

This isn't bad news for me. I prefer shopping at Target.

Besides, now I can buy both of the combiners and the legends 5-pack at the same time.

There's a Target here, so if I see them and like them, I'll be able to pick them up. I'm currently planning on skipping them. Slim chance I'll get Superion.

Are you asking for sale or for opinions. If the former, I'm not parting with mine, so that should tell you something about the latter.

As cool as this is, I was hopeing the limbs would be sold as the scout class again. I'm just missing three of them to finnish my Bruticus from Energon, I don't really need another incomplete one..

Buying them :-B

Thu Nov 13, 2008 12:01 pm

I will be buying both of these. I never got the G1 combiners, so this is about as close as I am going to get.

Do people have an issue shopping at Target? I am really curious about this. I have had only good experiences shopping there. The employees are always pleasant and the stores are always clean and organized. That is not always the case at TRU and Wallmart in my experience.

I think the issue is, and I may be wrong here, but there's no Targets in Canada. This makes it difficult for our Canadian friends to get a hold of without resorting to alternative markets.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but I imagine this complicates things for others as well.

my problem with target is its a ways out for me thats my problem but i like the store very much than walmart i called walmart one day for transformers they where very unfreindly toy department & custumor service.

release date on tese guys yet?

Thu Nov 13, 2008 12:21 pm

I was not aware of the lack of Target in Canada. They built three Target stores in the past 3 years in the Harrisburg area. We also have 2 Walmarts, and 2 TRU's. The only problems I have had with exclusives is with Walmart. We got no masterpeice Starscreams and no Devestators at either Walmart.

News Credits: 2 · Thu Nov 13, 2008 1:22 pm

Ok guys! I'm getting these and need to know an ETA and Price? and i like Target better then Walmart anyway!!

News Credits: 767 · Thu Nov 13, 2008 1:47 pm

Devastator cost I think USD30. So expect these to cost about the same.

News Credits: 12 · Thu Nov 13, 2008 2:42 pm

I guess you could say it's "bad news" because it makes it a little bit harder to get them, but on the other hand it makes them more rare and special. But you can order them from the Target website, so it's not nearly as bad as those in-store-only exclusives.

Assuming you find the ones you're missing on eBay, you'll probably pay anywhere from $15 to $30 for EACH of them. It would cheaper (and quicker and easier) to get one of these complete new sets. Then you could mix and match with your existing ones.

I just got an email from RobotKingdom.com posting that they too have the combiners up for sale or pre-order.

Thanks for thinking of us up here in the soon to be Great White North. All Target exclusives are going to be available at Zellers here so we will be getting these as well. More often than not we get them before the US (based on the Ratbat/Springer two pack release).
