Ratbat and Springer look pretty good...

I got Dirge & Roadbuster, but skipped on Springer & Ratbat.

I already have Energon Bulkhead in as "Classics" Springer and the Blades repaint of the Evac mold. So it seemed a bit much for stuff I kind of already have. And I'm not big into either Ratbat or the Sideways mold, though it did look pretty good.

I'm really happy with the ones I bought, though, and would have gotten both if the sets were a little cheaper.

For those who have the Target 2 packs, what series does the box read? Is it "Classic Series" or "Cybertron series"?

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't these supposed to be retailed at $19.99??? I am pretty sure I remember reading that when they announced these on Hasbro.com... :MAD:

Guess it could be worse. It isn't a deal at all though. $10 for the deluxe, $20 for the Voyager...the comics are free...

I drove about 45 mins to a target today and nothing. Nothing good at all. The DCPI didn't work, it didn't register. The $10 off coupon for leaders would have worked if they had any. There were none on shelves and none out back. I would have loved it if they had everything I wanted today. I ended up driving all that way and back for a $4 Chutes and Ladders game.

sheesh

Looks like Target.com is already sold out of the Springer-Ratbat set. If you can't find these in the store, they may be hard to come by if you just want to pay the $30 price tag.

I cannot disagree with this statement enough.

The crappy pastel purplish plastic that they used and the lack of paint apps makes him look like a cheap KO in robot mode... very disappointing.

Could someone please give a detailed description of the Springer and Ratbat figures?

I picked up Roadbuster/Dirge, mainly because I want that Roadbuster mold.
But since they're not $20 like we thought they'd be,
I'm more hesitant to get the other 2 pk., especially because I'm a little suspect about the Ratbat figure.
