Nope, I'm not registered on those sites at all. Sorry!

RodimusTitan wrote:Yep, you read it right! I went out and got mine this morning at a local Target in Washington state. Of course, they were not on the floor so I had to ask someone to check the back. Lo and behold, they had cases and cases of them! Well, ok, maybe just 38 pieces...

Lesson learned: If you pre-ordered your BB pack via Target.com and got that disappointing delay email earlier this week, fret not my fellow Seibertronians, head to your local Target store and get you TF fix on!

Now, Roll Out!!!

Yup just got the hook-up from RodimusTitan at the same location here in Washington state. Went in with the DCPI number 087060006 and the guy went in back and came out with one 2-pack. Thanks RodimusTitan!!!!

WOOHOO! I'm glad they still had more... Did they have any G1 Starscream repaints left?

So excited I forgot to check!! Oops

That will give me something to do tomorrow!!!

these thing have been at my tesco and woolowrths for weeks! what going on the usa is supposed to get everything before us brits.

There's a million Targets near me and none of them has gotten new shipments of TFs since June. I doubt I'll ever have the chance to buy this.

Keep your vigil, I talked to a toy dept employee a few days ago, and he said that all Targets will be receiving rather large shipments of TFs over the next couple of weeks.

My have to try that myself later

If you have both figures its a waste of money

Yer I haven't seen much either. The Targets here in Australia don't have the evolution of a hero yet

Christmas is on the way.

I'm checking Target either Tomorrow or the day after Tomorrow. Wish me luck, I'm going in!

photo gallery of damaged bumblebee please!

Do you want a actual photo gallery or just some pictures? I can put up some pictures in the post later on.

Ok, so which is the right DCPI#?? 087-06-0905 or 087-06-0006?

WHY!!! WHY cant we have a Target in Alaska?????!!!???

It's 0905, 0006 is Starscream.

any word on if the classic camaro bumblebee in this two-pack is any different than the regular version released by itself?

ok I think i found a difference. On classic camaro bumblebee, the head has slightly different paint apps than the original deluxe version. The yellow of his "nose" doesn't come down as far and there is less silver. yay!

More variants? I was hoping he was a straight re-release so I could get rid of him.

I'm going to have a whole hive of Bumblebee's by the time this line is over!

Well there are out here in upstate ny!! Not on the shelves but take the DCPI # to Guess Services and they will track it down for you. Just got mines today.

Evolution Of A Hero paint's them like they are damaged in the Movie. Where else the normal ones have the paint without damaged. Right I am off to Target now and shall return (hopefully) With the Evolution Of A Hero!

EDIT : Nope nothing there didn't try the code, but I went to all Target, Big W and K-Mart no sight of any Deluxes and very rare Voyagers. ALl I saw were leaders and Voyager Megatron and lots of Cyber Slammers and other kiddy stuff. None of the stores had Evolution Of A Hero or 2008 Bumblebee. Will be checking Toyworld/Toys R Us this week too, after that I will just wait until next month

I know I posted this in the thread about the BB Evolution release date being changed, but if there is a specific date that a product is supposed to hit the floor and Target releases it even 1 day before that time AND should happen to get caught by a Hasbro Rep. then Target Corp can kiss all it's exclusives goodbye and get fined up the...
Anyway it would really suck for Target. My Mom, who retired from the Lynnwood store this last year, had to deal with a lot of stuff like this and had a hell of a time getting it through to the younger employees that while they may be doing the customer a favor, they are putting the store at risk and their own job as well. So, if you get someone who isn't willing to help you out with finding the 2 pack, now you know why. The Distribution centers may have sent the product to the stores but that doesn't mean that the stores are authorized to let it hit the floor yet.
This is why I started snagging the last of the Target exclusives regardless of the damage to my wallet. If Target gets caught these really will be the last of the Target exclusives.

I JUST PURCHASE MINE THIS MORNING. AT TARGET IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA. THERE WERE ALOT OF THEM

ive seen one store with them out of the shelf.

2 stores have gone in the back and got them

and two stores said they cant sell them to the release date which i was told was in 2 weeks. the toy manager said the store could get fined if they sell it early.

just go to ur target at night, when the kids are working, and they will pull it cause they dont know any better.

should I cancel my preorder and look for it in stores?

if u want ot now, every target has them in stock. ur preorder will probably ship the 13th or 14th, when the release date is set.

Man still can't get it... I give up I'll just go for the single packs. All I want is Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee anyways... going to K-mart and Toyworld maybe tomorrow if not, Friday!

Since I dont own this figure yet, I am not intierly sure, but i believe it is just part of the figure that you can see through the windshield, but not actually on the windshield itself.

that "dot" is actually an arrow that points to the hood of the car. its an instruction sticker on the windshield. I don't have the figure in front of me at the moment but it reads something to the effect of "Press here to begin transformation"...

hope this answers your question

that is exactly what i am asaying

Just spotted about a dozen two-packs at the Target in Des Plaines next to the Allstate Arena. An employee was setting up an endcap with them and was breaking them out of the case when I snagged one. The rest of the Targets in my area should have them soon.

Just as a note, I got my "Evolution of a Hero" set today and my 78 Bumblebee has the defective front end that all the 1st run ones do. Has anyone checked theirs? I'm kinda curious if some are fixed and some aren't.

Target in Commerce, CA

Yes I found Bumblebee "Evolution of a Hero" Target-Exclusive 2-Pack. Hurry there are only 7 left as of 8:15am this morning. No need to ask they are an end cap item!

Looks like Target has definitely moved up the dates for these as I just got notice this morning that my order has shipped.

Umm I beg to differ on this subject... I work for Hasbro and they can be sold right now and do not have to wait till Oct. 14.
Their dispaly is suppose to be in transition. These dates Oct. 14- Nov. 14. is the endcap display... Only when a toyline comes out do they put the "Don't put on shelf till XXX date"
So anyone that is looking for the Bumblebee 2 pack go to Target and have them get it.. They should because it is a sale for them and they shouldn't be sitting on it.

DCPI is 087-06-0905 in case you guys don't have it...
