WHOOPPEE- These are TARGET exclusives, and from what I can tell, they are'nt that good to begin with - and I should know, I work for Target - and how did BBTS get ahold of these if they are Target Only EXCLUSIVES?? :-?

That means they should only be available at Target --- Guess I gotta call someone to get to the bottom of this --- :-x

Don't bother.

1. They're already out, most stores I've gone to have 24-48 Superion in stock.
2. Happens all the time.
3. Exclusives ain't all that exclusive anymore.

And they've been released mass retail all over the world for months. These look to be the international Universe not the Target exclusive RotF. Same thing, different box. Not the Target one. No Red Lantern ring for you.

This is bullshit! i cant even find Superion at my local Targets let alone Bruticus! :-x

What is sad is I paid LESS on Ebay than it would cost on BBTS. Thank Science for that. And I could not find these at my local Target in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I basically said "screw you guys, I am going home!" each time. And sad thing was that the employees were puzzled at these exclusives and not in the know either. Sad that Target does that to their own employees too. So I suggest anyone to go to Ebay and find one of these for a grand total of $52.24 with shipping and handling. Much better deal and less hassle.

Well I find BBTS has outrageous prices and use them rarely for any transaction. It seems you may not shop very wisely and maybe I just find the right prices and the best sellers? I have just never had a problem with anyone I have bought from in the past 6+ years of using Ebay. If you want to spend more go right on ahead. I just was making a friendly suggestion, and no need to get un-civilized about it, unless I have taken what you have said out of context then I do apologize. And for the gentleman or lady that answered already, it is sad that Targets elsewhere have released this, or other stores, and yet some of us still aren't seeing them. Even with a release date, they could still be nice enough and put it on their websites for all to see when we, the consumer, are at least checking to see if it is in stock yet.

I've used BBTS like once.. I got D-07 Cyclonus for a decent price and very well shipped.. There prices in general though are crazy and sometimes make me not want certain figures.. I agree with Springer on how the stores should at least show the exclusives online, would be nice to at least see what I'm im missing

If you go to Target, use this DPCI number 087-06-0146. Chances are they have Superion in the back. On the box it says Not to be sold be for May 30th. A lot of targets just haven't put them out. They are there though.

Technically, you put out the ROTF Superion and Bruticus, not the Universe ones. Those were only available to Asia and Australia.

Same figs, different packaging.

$60 American is a pretty ridiculous price. It's $60 Canadian at retail here... which is ridiculous in it's own right.

I like these Universe boxes better than the ROTF boxes.

Although I much prefer my Energon versions that I finally completed last month.

by **Onyx Primal** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 11:49 pm

REJOICE!!

Went down to a target with the DPCI in hand and BOOM got my Superion! The guy brought out an unopened Hasbro box with 4-5 Superions. Now i just need to get my hand on the DPCI for Bruticus and ill be a happy guy!

News Credits: 12 · by **robofreak** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 11:57 pm

I just got the ROTF version an hour ago and didn't need the DCPI. I talked to the Target guy and described it to him and he just went into the back and found the case.

The Target people in my area tend to be pretty cool since the ones that see me frequently know I'm not buying them for scalping. There is one Target that I refuse to buy from though due to how they treated me when they screwed up the ROTF release date.

Now I'm going to go and preorder the Fans Project set.
