Just ordered the Clones from Target. They show in-stock at my usual store but they don't have the pick it up option. As I was checking out I saw a ship to my store option but then it wouldn't arrive till next weekend while ship to my home will arrive this weekend. Needless to say, I should have the clones Saturday. Plus I was able to squeeze in a pre-order for Airwave. I had him pre-ordered on both Pulse and Amazon and somehow cancelled both :BANG_HEAD:

A tad late in response about finding the past Titans in a store. When I was stationed in Hawaii I was lucky enough to snag Fort Max at TRU and then Trypticon on base at the local exchange store. Would be really cool to snag Scorponok at a local Target. I do have him preordered though. Cant wait.

Side note good pics as always @Dmax!

I saw the clones at Target last week and picked them up along with the seeker 2-pack. It was the only one on the shelf. Still haven't opened them yet. :oops:

Wow, both two packs in a single run!

I went to a couple outlier Target stores yesterday, and nothing... However just now my wife is shopping at our local Target and she found Skylynx :DANCE:

. So that is cool. It's nice to have someone who can go early in the day for me. I thought there was zero chance of finding that at a store near me, especially so soon, still haven't seen clones or seeker packs yet. I don't want them, just like to see them though...

Apparently Slitherfang is getting around. I know my closest store had him, because I saw Rung. What irks me though, is on the day I probably could have got it, the employee I asked was being a real jerk and refused to go in the back to look.

I hear you, my wife does the same when she can. Same here, I just want to put an eye on the Clones and Seekers pak.

My fiancé was able to find Doubledealer for me a few weeks ago at Target while he was out shopping and I was out of town. I was hoping he would find the Seeker 2-pack, but I was able to order that from Target.com eventually, along with the Clone 2-pack. Getting Doubledealer "early" was a nice surprise.

News Credits: 3 · Thu Jul 23, 2020 2:31 pm

Most definitely, that's awesome to hear.

Thu Jul 23, 2020 4:03 pm

Doubledealer looks good. How small is he compared to TR Overlord, however?

Thu Jul 23, 2020 6:27 pm

I am patiently waiting for Snapdragon and Skylynx to pop up in stores around here, but y'all are making Doubledealer sound pretty damn tempting! :lol:

And it doesnt help been a long time since a nice, chunky, unique looking Leader class figure has been on shelves

Doubledealer continues to be the best leader in years. This guy is so good!

and i unlocked his secret 5th mode: Archangel mode

Yep, got lucky. Now the only one I need from a store is Snapdragon. Everything else has been preordered.

Got Doubledealer in a few days ago with that Amazon discount, he looks really good and I'm tempted to open him, but I really wanna wait until I get the Selects Cassette 4-pack in from BBTS so I can have the "full package". God knows when my preorder there will come in.

These lil dudes are way more fun than I expected, especially since they still have the Titan Master seats. Really hope they rerelease the Autobot Clones now.

Fri Jul 24, 2020 7:15 pm

Someone should take a picture of the small Zarak head on Titans Return Galvatron.

I wish my Knok and Skar would hurry up and ship. Been so long I don't even remember now where I ordered them from. Ugh!

But I agree. At first when I took him out I was like "this thing is a mess" but its a BEAUTIFUL mess and I am quite happy with it.

It's actually Idaho, not, Indiana. I tried to correct the OP on TFW as well....

Thanks. This has been corrected.

Can anyone double check the DPCI for Scorponok? Not sure if this is correct: 087-16-1984

It also doesn't pull up the listing on Brickseek or Target's website. Just want to double check. Thanks!

Snakes on a plane :-D

If you look underneath the ER Seekers, there is a spot where their forearms come together in alt-mode and the post on a figure stand fits. Obviously it isn't intentional so it isn't a tight fit but it works good enough to take pics or even leave on a shelf. I have Siege Starscream and the more I mess with these two the more I'm tempted to pick up ER Starscream to complete the trio in both sets.

Definitely don't see the point in skipping Starscream with those two on deck.

Well the absence of weapons for Pounce and Wingspan is no problem as that's what the Battle Masters are for. I do wish they had the larger ports on the sides of their arms and legs to shield them up with the cassettes.

News Credits: 22 · Sat Jul 25, 2020 5:33 pm

You should definitely pick up ER Starscream, if only to complete the trio. Besides, IMO the ER seeker mold has the best jet mode ever. I mean, I would put it up against the MP versions.

And yes, my clones will be getting Heartburn and Heatstroke from the Hotlink set, since I don't have Hotlink anymore. Matching guns for matching bots. :-D
