Dracula x Transformers Crossover Toy Revealed

Dracula will have a hard time then, considering that the western cartoon version of Mindwipe WAS Dracula in almost all but name...

And over a month later, the Fangry 4-pack still isn't available to order. Instead of waiting an eternity for Target to get their s**t together, I paid an ebay scalper & now own the figures. Target is the absolute worst of the worst. I never had any problems with them years ago but now I don't want to deal with them at all. Just buy their exclusives off ebay & avoid the unnecessary aggravation.

Red Card exclusive my ass! I bought Redwing off ebay too. I'm sick of this nonsense. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to buy a product from a store. The only purpose a store serves is to sell products to their customers. But Target doesn't seem to understand that & wants to be a f**king circus instead.

I was the same was with Toys R Us Japan. They used to be THE place to go for TFs, outside of specialist hobby shops, but after they basically stopped bothering to sell anything new, I switched to Amazon Japan and haven't looked back.

Sound pretty aggravated buying off eBay there dude.


…or I could just get them at a store like I did with the 4 pack and T-Rex and their other store exclusives?

Never understand folks who throw tantrums on forums over toys. Gonna wager you just wanted them as soon as soon as possible and threw more money then you needed to to get them instead of just being patient and finding them in stores. Maybe it’s how you acted to this news but let’s call it a hunch

Then don't.

I find it helps if you understand that Target as a store carries I'm guessing easily at least 30000 different products in each location across many different departments. Do you want to guess how important Target considers stocking a specific exclusive toy that is mainly desired by adult man-children/collectors (I'm a little of each)? My guess it that is doesn't even make their top 25000 in terms of importance.

As a secondary note, I think it may just be your specific Target, or possibly your general region that sucks and got the short end of the distribution, I've seen the 4 pack at a number of stores. Or, you could have easily missed them and the workers at your store just told you they never came in to make you go away. Especially if you act like you do on these boards in person as well.

I say this because I've had Target employees tell me they didn't have any ER SkyLynx in stock last year on August 31st, while Brickseek said they were in stock at my store. Came in the next morning and they were on the shelf. It seems the employee I talked to either didn't want to or couldn't check in the back and just told me they had none.

I can address your sky-lynx issue. Last year I saw that pounce and wingspan were instock and I ordered them online for pick up. My order was canceled 2 hours later so I went there and asked about it and the employees said it’s on their delivery truck scheduled for tomorrow and their items show instock for the store when it’s scheduled for being delivered to their store. It’s less a store issue but more a computer problem already automating their stock. They said it happens sometimes. Same thing happened with Galvatron once this summer. So it’s less they wouldn’t go back and help and more it’s just bad system. No excuse but it is what it is

Got my preorder for Road Rage in, we'll see if this works.

The Shockwave Funko Pop has, as far as I can tell, never been made available to order; Target does have a Funko event coming up, so maybe then? If it's an availabilty issue, I have an interesting story regarding the Starscream one: I have about 10 Target's in a 2-3 hour radius, I only found him in one location, and there were 25 of him.

I've been irritated with how my preorders have been handled: Earthrise Thrust & Runabout were cancelled last year along with the Ark with no notice. Recently Kingdom Tracks & Scorponok were cancelled: they continually sent me emails to review if I want to continue my preorder (um, yes, duh),then receiced an email in the morning at 3am to review and not even an hour later (4am) they sent a 2nd email that they Target cancelled the preorder because I didn't respond. I complained and got the "we'd be happy to help" b.s. response.

Road Rage is now available for purchase. I was having an issue adding to cart on the website, but it worked in the app. Release date is 10/3, so I should have it in-hand within a week of that.

Generally speaking, I haven't had the same issues with online pre-orders that others have reported. I think there have been a handful of times where I've switched to in-store pickup instead of waiting for a shipment, but I've been able to get my hands on all of the Target exclusives since WfC started.

Edit: I don't know if or when either of these releases will be available on Hasbro Pulse in the partner exclusives category, but neither are there yet.

Update: Drac is up and ready for purchase, releases in November:

Also up at Pulse:

FYI, I just successfully placed my Pre-Order for Road Rage on Target's website.

For those getting Road Rage, it would be nice if you could check the leg panels are correctly pushed in so they can tab more securely in robot mode, and the tabs and pegs on them are longer or better designed than those on Tracks.

The tiny little nubs on the side panels in car mode simply will not stay pegged in. And the super shallow tabs make it so the pin holding in the panel needs to be pushed in a bit to get any sort or purchase on the front leg panel to hold in place. However this causes a stress mark on the rim of pin hole.

It would be nice if they corrected that for the next use of the mold.

Discussion about Draculus can now be found here.

Successfully secured Draculus and Road Rage. I'm actually looking forward to both of them
