The issues i had, right off the bat, the stinger tip was very loose and even would come off. The rear legs came off easy during transformation. Something i didnt have an issue with the original version. The last issue was the lower half of the right claw kept coming off.
While i wont transform him again, all in all i like the colors of this version, and it looks great in my diorama. So aside from the issues i had, i am still good with him. I know things happen with repaints and or reuse of a mold i just thought i would share what happened with my copy.

He goes with Nightprowler, giving us the unreleased 2-pack from the 2000s in modern updated form.RiddlerJ wrote:I do wish the 4 pack gave us another Deception Headmaster like the last one did with Fangry. Skywasp is nice enough looking, but still feels like a spot filler.

You'd think it would be just as easy to make a "good enough" Squeezeplay out of Repugnus the same way they turned Grotusque into Fangry. Horri-Bull would either have to be a new mold or a heavy Weirdwolf retool. Definitely not impossible to do. Really does make me wonder if they just had Fangry ready to go but nowhere to put him.

I should've been more specific. When I typed "they" I meant Hasbro, not Target.william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I would rather have too much than not enough. And I know if they have to clearance items it's less likely they will over order next time around.
I too preffer more than not enough.
As for the notion of "ordering", there is no ordering for exclusives. Target agrees to carry them and Hasbro gives them the entire US stock (aside from a small portion for Pulse). Of course, through feedback and analysis, Hasbro can see how well a particular product sold (which is much easier to do when you only have 1 retailer), so that helped them see how much they would have to make for the following year.

I also noticed that the endcap with the Creatures Collide 4-pack and naked Dinobot was also gone, but I couldn't find them anywhere else. I was there 2 or 3 days ago and there were 8 or 9 4-packs on the shelf. Could they have started clearancing them already? If so, I might get one just for Goldbug, I could still sell the others.
I doubt it. Those 4-packs had been on the shelf for about 3 weeks by then, scalpers would have gotten to them sooner.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I stopped by Target after work tonight, looking for Tarantulas or Blitzwing, but found neither.

Scalpers more likely.
