At this point I wouldn't bother with it. The pin was a mere hoax.

Asking before I bother another co-worker about toys.

I have a target red card. I am signed in. I do not see the product listing. Got here too late too.

The original link didn’t require the red card. They haven’t issues out a new link yet

I got mine in with one day shipping so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I got a shipping notice for mine, about 5 hours after I ordered him. He'll be here Friday.

I forget if it was you who’d told me that for sure but I’m pretty sure it was you and I felt like such a boob :lol:

totally fell for it. And you know making a hole in the soft grey plastic would be really hard if you were to customize it I’d be super careful if anyone ventures that route. I’d thought about it but even if you could drill it and pin it that plastic would probably have stress marks pretty quick. Maybe that’s why it looks like it was made for it but ultimately doesn’t have it.

Apparently Red Wing is ready to pickup from Target for those who ordered him.

Didn't get my order in on time. Oh well, I can wait a month to finally get that mold. He definitely wears it the best

I suspect the wait might not be that long. Target is planning on doing their own verison of Amazon's Prime Day next Monday and Tuesday at the same time as Amazon's without any membership required. If Redwing is supposed to be a Target exclusive, then Target's version of Prime Day would be the perfect time to reveal and start taking orders.

I won't mind if he waits a bit either, we are in that season with a lot of stuff coming out, so money is gonna fly a bit faster :lol:

Lancer is WFC-GS05

We were almost certain it was coming, but we finally have solid proof that, hot on the heels of the release of Transformers SIEGE Greenlight comes the final member of the Female Autobots, Lancer! This breaking news was submitted to us by Seibertron.com member Jtprime17, and first reported on the boards at tfw2005.com. Apparently, "Hobby Corner" on Facebook has announced that they have opened up pre-orders for this highly anticipated last piece needed to complete the "Orthia" combiner as hinted by Greenlight's bonus information on transformers.com when entering the password "LANCER." Unlike Greenlight, though, Lancer appears to be part of the Transformers Generations Selects line, as WFC-GS05. Even better, "Hobby Corner" has revealed an in-hand photo of Lancer. This picture reveals that Lancer is using the same re-tooling from the Greenlight version of the mold, with some new arm, leg, and torso parts (as compared to Power of the Primes Moonracer and Novastar/Firestar), except for her new, unique head sculpt, of course. The rest of her is created with some more clever repainting, this time in orange and multiple shades of purple. Lancer also comes with a repaint of Novastar's gun accessory and a repainted "Prime Armor" piece to serve as a hand in arm mode when combined to form Orthia (or the previously named "Elita Infin1te" from PotP, if you prefer). Unfortunately, again, unlike Greenlight, Lancer also doesn't come with a Battle Master partner as a bonus. Take a look for yourself at Lancer below!

What do you think of the upcoming Transformers Generations Selects Autobot Lancer? Will you be adding her to your female Autobot collection? If you simply must have her now, Lancer is currently available to order at Robot Kingdom. Let us know your thoughts on Lancer in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

She's......... very neon. I like the colors, they're just a little saturated. I hope it's just the lighting.

News Credits: 14 · by **DecepticonFinishline** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 1:22 am

Not my favorite... Still wish LANCEr would have been a Lance-type Battle Master with Chromia as a limb. Because... These colors are certainly something.

BUT. It will be nice to FINALLY have this combiner done. Sign me up.

Oh, hell yes!

Am I the only one holding out hope for a Selects G2 Shuttle Blastoff?

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 1:29 am

Huh, she retains Novastar's weapon. And wow, the colors are gonna make her stick out. :shock:

Honestly, I kinda forgot about it. I WAS holding out hope when Selects first started, but I don't feel as confident now. I would still take it, though.

So she's G2 Swindle's girl now :???:

But I've imagined the purple to be a bit more bluish...

It looks like she also has Greenlight's forearms and torso (AAAABS).

A recolor of Smashdown with a flame part would have been cool. Could be used for thrusters to turn Smashdown's weapon mode and Ironhide's hammer into rocket hammers and on other weapons as a flamethrower part.

And do we know anything about "Orthia" yet (first time I heard about it)?

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Wed Jul 10, 2019 2:57 am

Orthia is the "Combined with the other Female Autobots" combiner's name, whereas Elita Inf1nite is the "combined with whoever" name.

Uh

, thanks for the enlightenment.
So it's like Betatron and Computron.

Percisely

I'd imagine Starscream would be the same if they ever made two more jets for him to combine with.
