Remember late last year when we were all wondering when that Target Exclusive two-pack featuring the screen accurate Deluxe Leadfoot was going to show up at retail? Toy Fair 2012 rolled around, and to the disappointment of many we found out the remaining unreleased DOTM figures had been cancelled. Thanks to eBay we finally get a look at the Autobot Team Racers set featuring Autobot Topspin and Leadfoot in-package complete with it's Target exclusive sticker. When this set was initially announced at BotCon 2011 we were told the figures would be Twin Twist and Leadfoot, but as you can see it ended up being Topspin.

Check out what could have been in the images mirrored below.

Why, Hasbro? O wait... Why, Target, WHY?!

Considering my local Target has the DotM Deluxes priced at $30 right now, I'm a bit scared what they would price this at.

So wasteful.

So stupid.

Wait. Could this still happen?

I have to wonder why this is showing up now.

Still, leftovers can be sold off...

This is wishful thinking of course, but it would be more than great if Hasbro opened up a retail outlet so that people had a chance to purchase the toys which were not picked up by the main retailers.

this absolutely breaks my heart that we never got this release as it was the one DotM release i was truly looking forward to
regardless of the fact that it was packed with Topspin and not Twin Twist, I think Target really missed out on something good here to complete the wrecker trio

And that's if they were ever produced in the first placed.

Me thinks "Twin Twist" was actually a misnomer for Autobot Armor Topspin, who was believed to come with Leadfoot in that set.
