Just an FYI to all board members, Target is doing their fall reset for Toys THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5TH. Ultimate Bumblebee will be featured on an endcap beginning that week as well.

So I was browsing at the new planogram for boys action and saw something interesting. An item on the planogram has a DPCI of 087-06-0413 and the description in the line listing was "Transformers G1". This is the old DPCI for the 6-inch titaniums and the product image picture (a mock up to show what the aisle will look like) shows a picture of a 6 inch titanium box!

Could Titaniums make a brief comeback to Target shelves in early August? I will report back tomorrow morning after I do some more investigating at work tonight

Do you work at Target?

Maybe, I think there are 6 figures left.

No, I just hack their system on a daily basis from inside a store wearing red and khaki...

hope I can see the Fallen and all those past that come out. Last figures to come out in my town was Starscream, Soundwave, Rodimus Prime, RiD Optimus Prime.

I need to get the rest of the WWI molds since it may be the last we'll see of them for a while, also want to get that Ultra Magnus and don't want to feed the scalpers on ebay quite yet.

I hope so...I didnt get a ultra magnus! I so want one!!

Yes, besides the newest figures being scarce at retail, there is still a War Within Prowl and War Within Grimlock to come out before the line dies. Maybe they could be going there?

Newsified, Dark_Magnus!!! Good find. Let us know when you know more.

Im sure alot of stores have old cases full of them hidden in the back. Hell last week TRU had a few re-issue soundwaves.

EDIT: also does any one know the DCPI number for voyager megatron?

The DPCI for voyager Megatron is the same as every other voyager. Only exclusives have unique DPCIs

Awesome.

Could this potentially just mean there's going to be a restock?

My area Target will take great strides to make sure they don't get any of it.

That would be my thoughts as well.

Besides Prowl and Grimmy, what else is there in those 6 titaniums left? Skywarp? I hope so since he'd be a simple repaint. Any ideas?

Speaking of exclusives, would you happen to know the DPCI and pricing for the Bumblebee 2-pack? (Evolution Of A Hero, as seen on eBay)

Thanks, in advance!

P.S. if all you can find out is just the number, that would be fantastic.

Hacking is bad, mkay.

Anyway, this is good news. Finally I'll get my hands the Titaniums I missing(namely Sunstorm and the Fallen). And I get paid then too

No Skywarp was shown the door, and not allowed to come back.

In other words, they said no to him.

The Soundblaster repaint of Soundwave with Ravage maybe? It was supposed to happen like Skywarp. Also Primal Prime, you know the red white and blue version of Optimal Optimus.

I work at Target and I saw this as well. They're probably overstock from the distribution centers. Old characters maybe? And as Dark Magnus said, the dpci is the same for every character of that scale unless its an exclusive, because then it comes in its own box. I work backroom in case anyone is wondering.

Wait, they're repainting the crappy Soundwave, and the unimpressive Optimal Optimus, but they're not doing a Skywarp on a mould that is actually good? Sheesh, they must've had their heads in the toilet too long or something. Maybe I'll hopefully pick up Sunstorm to even out my collection.

Well the Soundwave is up in the air like skywarp, but we were not given a no on him, as we were Skywarp.

However, there was not one in the display case as there was Primal Prime.

I don't think it would be overstock from the DCs since they should have cleared out their stock when we clearanced them out way back. I think we'll be seeing new cases coming in from now until the line ends.

Some new info. The tag says "Transformers 6" G1" and the price is $15.99. Also the spot alloted for the item is 8 inches wide, so it fits the description of og 6-inch titanium box. All signs point to this being the definite return of titaniums to Target.

Bumblebee 2-pack 087-06-0905

I got Fallen, Cheetor, and Sunstorm from Hasbro's online shop and they rock it very nicely. Still haven't seen them at retail. I've read that this line is getting canned. It would be better if they retooled some way like focusing on War Within and Beast Machines or something. Despite all the crying, the winners of this series are really great shelf pieces for $15. The emphasis was on display, not play, which confused folks for some reason.

i really hope this is true i wanted to get the soundwave figure but i never saw it around me

hopefully this will be our chance to see G1 magnus,the fallen, and WW Magnus on the shelves, as no one has seen them out much. since they are already out in the UK and Canada, I like to think that they held them off until the movie line had sold out some.

I hope
