Backroom lackey at Target wouldn't bring Starscream to the counter due to a shelf date of 8/26.

Now I've got three assault charges pending (4 if you count threatening that witness...)

Some guys in Michigan have picked him up too...got a look at him in person...now I really want him...

Did target tell you the street date is the 26th?

yes

Interesting thank you that explains why I have not seen in in my part of MI, I have targets run by D-bags like you do!

Found one at the Target in Bay Area, Texas yesterday around noon. There were three left. Didn't see them at any other targets in Houston.

[iheartarcee]

is his head the only thing different? More pics please!!!

[Kanyon]

Told myself I wouldn't buy anymore tfs til I pay my car insurance off since hours got slashed at work but seeing this SS..Urge to buy..rising.

[Sunstar]

Anyone want to pick one of these up for a canadian at cost +shipping? Please?

[Barricade]

wait is it street date or shelf date...... cause if it's shelf date then they can bring it right out to you if it's street then they cant.....

[darthchuckmc]

It's a SHELF date. If they won't bring it out, it's because until they build the Endcap to put it on, it doesn't have a Sales Floor Location. It comes up with a POG#, but no home to put it in. Some stores will set the Endcap by this weekend, some will set it later next week after the 26th due date. We have until Tuesday following the due date to set Sales Planner Endcaps, but sometimes it gets a little busy, and you have to take an extra few days....especially since we have 20 NEW Endcaps due the 26th....not JUST the Transformers one.

Why Target people are douches for doing their job is beyond me. Maybe we should come to where you guys work at bust your balls everytime you drop a chicken mcnugget on the floor.

I think the 5 second rule applies to Chicken McNuggets and Transformers.

Agreed

[DevastaTTor]

I gonna hafta disagree. both are pretty nasty.

Is that a newer head sculpt? It looks 100x better than the previous one.
SB

I agree. Don't like either head but actually like the movie one more-especially on the box art. That TC/SS repaint head is just strange.

um ryan he's mistransformered in that pic....

[BB.206]

I'm waiting for these to pop up in my Target. Currently they only have the newest wave of Deluxes (at least this morning): Bumblebee, Dropkick, Final Battle Jazz, etc. Leader Brawls, and Ultimate Bumblebees.

[Enigma_Dragons]

I told them I was looking for a jet, Didn't see it on the shelf and gave them the number. now G1 repaint is sitting with my other movie voyagers in my voyager asst WV 2 box I got from work... Every time before when I asked about transformers they said they couldn't get things from the back.. this time i just said i was looking for a jet that was kinda red white and blue..

[prowlstreak]

ny targets dnt have anything so ill just b sniping on ebay i guess

[The Time Traveller]

Will this become a Woolworths exclusive in England? I go nearly each week just to see if they have it in... But all they have now are the kiddy ****, fast action battlers or what ever they're called. The only voyagers they get are Rachet, which I'll get eventually.

Jesus man, it's not even supposed to be out until at the earliest Sunday. Give it a few days before you hit the 'bay.
Plus, there are like 50,000 of these, and only 200 or so of us TF nerds running around. The only other people buying them are Hot Wheels dicks trying to make a few extra bucks to buy another Treasure Hunt and a can of Skoal.

[redsaleen]

i just called a target by me gave him the dcpi number and he said they didnt have any, but he could tell me what stores did.

he gave me the next two stores close to me one had 8 and one had 16. i called the store they said yes they have it, but its in the back. i said can i still purchase it even though its in the back, he said yes, so im going now to pick up a couple if they let me.

[ultra tron]

i'm guessing this is a west cost thing. Target Stores in Cali or the west coast must get the shipments first(repaints, leader Brawl), then the products gradually makes it across.

Everything comes into port in Washington State, and trickles down and across from there....but we already have them on the East Coast. My store has 3 cases in stock and I'm in Central Florida.

[redsaleen]

ok, so i went there with 3 dcpi numbers.

jazz repaint
leader brawl
star scream repaint

they had the star scream and jazz, in the back. no leader class brawls.

i can confirm these do not come is assorted packs. the case of jazz's come 8 in a box.

the funny part was the shelves were completely bare, yet they have cases of figures sitting in the back.

p.s i wont say how many i got

[darthchuckmc]

the funny part was the shelves were completely bare, yet they have cases of figures sitting in the back.

The shelves are bare because the Deluxe, Voyager & Leader Class aren't IN STOCK. They are currently sold out, and aren't expected to ship to Target again until October...unless Hasbro comes up with something to ship before then.
Deluxe, Voyager & Leader Class have a home location on the aisle. The Jazz & Starscream won't have a home until the Endcap gets built for them sometime around the 26th.

Since Jazz & Starscream have their own DPCIs, different from the Deluxe and Voyager Class DPCIs, they aren't supposed to be on the floor yet. Once the Endcap is set, when the employees scan it or check the DPCI, it will tell them WHERE it's supposed to go. They don't just randomly throw cases of figures out on empty pegs. Everything has a place it is supposed to be stocked, and those empty pegs/shelves aren't the spot for the Exclusives.

Okay so wat is the DCPI for Target Jazz and Starscream... I am going tommorrow to Target lets see if I can get one... Any help with the DCPI will be appreciated... Thanks
