"Just an FYI to all board members, Target is doing their fall reset for Toys THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5TH. Ultimate Bumblebee will be featured on an endcap beginning that week as well.
So I was browsing at the new planogram for boys action and saw something interesting. An item on the planogram has a DPCI of 087-06-0413 and the description in the line listing was "Transformers G1". This is the old DPCI for the 6-inch titaniums and the product image picture (a mock up to show what the aisle will look like) shows a picture of a 6-inch titanium box!
Could Titaniums make a brief comeback to Target shelves in early August? I will report back tomorrow morning after I do some more investigating at work tonight."
Anyone hoping it is true like me? We still have at least two new molds to get on the market, and many people have not seen molds all the way back to 'The Fallen'.
So this is certainly welcome news, if it is true.

The DPCI for voyager Megatron is the same as every other voyager. Only exclusives have unique DPCIs

That would be my thoughts as well.

Speaking of exclusives, would you happen to know the DPCI and pricing for the Bumblebee 2-pack? (Evolution Of A Hero, as seen on eBay)
Thanks, in advance!
P.S. if all you can find out is just the number, that would be fantastic.

No, I just hack their system on a daily basis from inside a store wearing red and khaki...
Hacking is bad, mkay.
Anyway, this is good news. Finally I'll get my hands the Titaniums I missing(namely Sunstorm and the Fallen). And I get paid then too

No Skywarp was shown the door, and not allowed to come back.
In other words, they said no to him.
The Soundblaster repaint of Soundwave with Ravage maybe? It was supposed to happen like Skywarp. Also Primal Prime, you know the red white and blue version of Optimal Optimus.

Wait, they're repainting the crappy Soundwave, and the unimpressive Optimal Optimus, but they're not doing a Skywarp on a mould that is actually good? Sheesh, they must've had their heads in the toilet too long or something. Maybe I'll hopefully pick up Sunstorm to even out my collection.

Well the Soundwave is up in the air like skywarp, but we were not given a no on him, as we were Skywarp.
However, there was not one in the display case as there was Primal Prime.

I don't think it would be overstock from the DCs since they should have cleared out their stock when we clearanced them out way back. I think we'll be seeing new cases coming in from now until the line ends.
Some new info. The tag says "Transformers 6" G1" and the price is $15.99. Also the spot alloted for the item is 8 inches wide, so it fits the description of og 6-inch titanium box. All signs point to this being the definite return of titaniums to Target.

QFT.
I ordered WW Megatron, The Fallen and G1 Ultra Magnus from BBTS. A few weeks ago, I got the WWI Prime vs. Megatron 2-pack at TRU, so all that is left for me is Sunstorm, perhaps Grimlock.
They are building a Super Target near me now, along with another one that already exists, so bring on the 6" Titaniums!

Bumblebee 2-pack 087-06-0905
Thank you! I just called one of my local Targets and the woman said:
"Well it's in the system, but there's a question mark next to it, which isn't a good sign. I have absolutely no idea when this one's coming in, and according to you, it's exclusive to our store, which is a real pain. Go ahead and give it a week and give us a call back. We should actually have a little more info on it's due date if nothing else."
Hmm. Does it say at all when it might be expected? I'd think it would be due around the time period of this reset, but I don't know the inner workings of Target, so I don't want to be presumptuous.

Here's an idea...
Rise above petty posts and either take it to PM, report it if you must, or ignore it.
I've had worse hurled my way.

I'd say it's probably a clearance, but the sheer volume of that one two-pack makes me think it was a new shipment.
