Neither of the 10$ off offers show up for me. I was going to preorder Topspin, but with 3$ off and 6$ shipping I’ll just wait and get it elsewhere.

Was hoping the local target had Offroad Bee, but they just had the other deluxes from the wave.

I wish this worked on Cyberverse because I already got the current Studio Series and Earthrise figures and have to wait for the next wave.

Obviously, the only issue here is you are betting on target to get the rest of the deluxes you want.


Also a good point, but still a bit risky. The $10 off $50 doesn't end until Aug. 29th...
With different online retailers giving various release (or maybe shipping) dates, does anyone know when the next wave of ER is due?
I know times have changed, but it wasn't completely unusual in the past for figures to start popping up earlier than expected (without the hassles of not being in a store's system).

For some reason, every figure that I've purchased at my local Target since Titans Return has had QC issues. Even before that, every figure with issues came from that Target. :(

It makes me wonder if they buy cases of factory seconds or something...

Hey look, a sale right after I bought ER Wheeljack. :HEADHURTS:

I'll be keeping my eyes open for SS Roadbuster, though.

Thanks to you all and Brickseek I was able to run out to a Target this morning and nab Sky Lynx. the nice fella was more than happy to run in back and dig the figure out of the "U Boat" And plug in the code for the 10 off 50 Circle coupon.

Thanks for the help Seiberfriends!!! ;)^

Edit: Also not sure if this was brought up but, on-shelf, it appeared the 16.99 Deluxe sale applied to Cyberverse Deluxes as well.

Knightdale NC Target has the clone 2 packs for 50%. Hadn’t seen it included with the Deluxe sale info.

Shouldn't be. Try logging into Target.com and then going to Circle, it shows up at the top of the page for me.

They might be regional or targeted, they are no where to be found for me. NJ, USA fwiw. Not on the app, desktop or mobile site.


I'm in NJ as well. I used the $10 off $50 in-store coupon last week but never got the $10 off $40 coupon.

I'm in the NY area, and I see neither.
Emerje, if you don't mind me asking, what state are you in for both to show up?

Did you buy Wheeljack from Target? If it has been within 14 days, you can price match him to the sale.

Hmmm. Maybe there is a code or maybe the associate rang it up as a price match ... I’ll simply ask and show the Circle image that Emerje shared with us earlier in the thread. Not all hope is lost ...

That's exactly what I did. Showed him the one from the news post Emerje wrote and he found the actual coupon for me.

The guy who helped me was rad and in a good mood. Sadly YMMV with this situation depending on the employee. Kill 'em with kindness, my Mama always used to say. :-D

Aww, nice, Unfortunatly, I don't think you can do the same with the 10 dollars off 40, but... I guess there's customer Service... (shrug)

Holy shizz... That is an awesome deal. I've decided to pass on that set, but at that price I'd get it in a heartbeat!

I don't think it does, my Cyberverse Arcee that I bought yesterday did not get the offer applied to it.

Probably right about now, some sightings are trickling out. It's the fall wave, so by the end of August we should see wider distribution

No, actually. It was such a rad experience that I asked if I could snap a photo.

So for people wondering why they can't find the promo code I did some digging and turns out it's no longer available for whatever the reason I took a screenshot of it but this is really unfortunate and really strange :???:

Success, my friends! Stopped by the closest Target yesterday after work and visited Customer Service. The woman I spoke with (a rather fetching blond, I might add) was able to credit me $10 on my purchase after showing her the Circle offers. She did a fair bit of key punching to do so but it worked. Looking at the receipt it appears she simply price matched me the $10 rather than using a code/coupon/offer. The line item has regular price then the price charged was $10 bucks less.

This is what I used it on ...Image

Called ahead earlier that AM and they literally just received a case. Reserved one (of the two) and picked it up.

As an aside, the box art features Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet. Thrust is on the side of the box where Optimus is standing.

Sorry for the late reply, work really sucked this week. I live in Maine. The $40 deal was emailed to me and just sitting there on the Circle page of the website. The $50 deal showed up on the app while I was looking at the week's ad. Neither said anything about being exclusive to me, just that they were Circle exclusive deals. I'm glad other people also received them and some were able to get them matched in stores. ;)^

Honestly I found the $40 coupon to be pretty useless. Even when stuff shows up as in stock at my store (like Sky Lynx) it wont let me order it for pickup.

I was meaning to say something after I saw you live in New England... You are lucky that there must be some freaking amazing IPA's to drink up in your neck of the woods.
While I'm a stout and porter fan, there aren't many beer styles I don't like. What's normally called a "New England" (sometimes east coast) IPA is by far my favorite of that style. Here in the midwest there are breweries who do a pretty good job with the NE style, but a lot of times they're still a bit of a letdown.

In other news, I did end up getting Cliffjumper. He is so freaking small!
I'll wait to decide if he's a keeper until we get the last wave of figures... I may end up doing an exchange, but we'll see. Definitely glad I took advantage of that sale.

This is a great deal! Went on a bit of a Cyberverse spending spree and got Deluxe Megatron, Deluxe Arcee, Deluxe Shockwave, Deluxe Bumblebee, Trooper Wildwheel, Ultimate Megatron (already on sale for $15), and Scout Windblade (on sale for $5) for only $100 after tax and free shipping. Not bad at all.
