I actually pictures of the Chicago shoot, showing the Nascarbots driving in formation with the Autobots.

nice spread, but i cant help but to notice what isnt there, namely the classics 3-pack featuring galvatron, cyclonus and rodimus. maybe that rumor wasnt true or target is saving it for later

Ah Target is setting up there toy depts for the holidays

Walmart can't be far beind

Is it me, or are those Power core commander 2-packs labeled $5.49 each?!?

Generations thrust and Drift also are not visible. They may just be behind all those WFC guys, but I doubt it.

WOW, that's awesome! All we see around here are crappy Jetblades.

There was 1 Drift and 1 Thrust there. I picked up the extra Drift for one of the staff members from Seibertron.com who lives in Japan.

LIES!!!!!!!!!!! all the target over here had was 32 mudflaps, 1 dirge and 2 of the stockade repaints. The tru across the street had a few powercore combiners and HFTD figures but that was it. And the HFTD ones were all the repaints except for legends ravage and Brimstone. Oh and walmart had 20 mudflaps and 2 mixmasters.

hmm, another movie-line thrust figure....that appears to be purple black and silver....they didnt call it Skywarp WHY?

Seeing stock like that was a sight for sore eyes. Dang, that was a ton of figures.

There are certainly a few that are looking really good, but those 2-pack exclusives are easy NOs for me. Bumblebee is just silly looking to me as is Barricade. Tailwhip is a good repaint, but I don't like the mold at all. I would like to pick up a WFC Prime sometime, but I have to admit that I really don't like WFC Bumblebee much at all. I screwed up and decided to buy the little guy and I was disappointed.

Though I have sworn off buying very many off-the-shelf figures these days, I went ahead and grabbed Leader Starscream. Anyone who has the money for it, needs to make the purchase. That sucker is really good.

omg i thought the neon was over at botcon but now its invaded the movie line!! DX TO MUCH BRIGHTNESS!!! on a side note MUST HAZ GENERATIONS BUMBLEBEE AND OPTIMUS

Probably because there already IS a movie Skywarp figure.

Also probably because this Thrust figure isn't in Skywarp's colors either. The jet mode is predominantly grey/silver.



I'd like to know why they called this figure Thrust at all. It's not in Thrust's colors. I would've been happy with a new name or a recycled name from someone that we haven't heard from in a while. I wonder if this was just an exercise in maintaining their rights to the name "Thrust"?

Here are the Target DPCI numbers for several of the new Transformers items. Your local Target should be doing their fall/winter toy aisle reset within the next couple of weeks. Remember ... you saw them here first at Seibertron.com!

Please make sure you post your sightings in the Toy Sightings forum. Your fellow Seibertronians would love to know where to go hunt for new figures.

Well, it has Thrust's head mold, that's for sure. As for the colors, I did some looking and, except for the black, it's a dead ringer for RiD Skyfire. I'll have you know the "Skyfire" trademark is lost since Energon (hence "Skyblast" for the Skyfire lookalike Omnicon).

indeed, but it wouldnt be the first time the same character has had two figures in different size classes. Just sayin it aint right having a seeker painted in Skywarp's colors bein called Thrust when the same mold already has him is the right colors.

he's not in Skywarp's color. This new Thrust figure is predominantly grey/silver.

Does Armada get no love?

... So the 'Stealth Force' thing has Classics Hound and Animated Soundwave in addition to movie guys. Weird. But they actually look kind of interesting, compared to the little hot-wheels cars you just stand up on its butt.

Ugh, why does it have to be packaged with YET ANOTHER DAMN BUMBLEBEE?! Otherwise that repaint may still be called Thrust, but he'd actually make a pretty good Ramjet or Skywarp for people that didn't get the walmart exclusives repaints.
Don't know why they'd need to 'hold' Thrust's name with a RotF figure since they just had the Generations one out, unless the two 'characters' count differently for some reason.

Tailwhip ... is apparently Vortex. Neat, but those molds are both meh if you've already got Arcee and Blazemaster. I'd rather give Vortex-like abilities to Windburn when he's released.

Another pack with the ice cream truck version of the twins is nice for the people that couldn't find that little nugget though.

Armada Thrust was before they started homaging G1 Thrust's color scheme. If this had some green in it, maybe this could be an Armada Thrust homage. Speaking of whom, later got a G1 color scheme toward the end of the line.

yes the jetmode has a lot of gray with the night-camo theme but it is not unknown for Skywarp to have a lot of gray as was the case with the hasbro animated release

just sayin it aint Thrust, we got a perfect (minus wing fans) version of movie Thrust, no need to sully it with repaints that are obviously someone else

Meet RiD Skyfire:



Meh, close enough.

So that is why the shelves at my Local Target looked so empty.. preparing for the next wave LOL

I called up my Target and they said they'd be resetting on August 3rd. It may be different around the country, but at least there's some kind of a timeframe for it. They will tell you, so just a heads-up to the eager collectors - go ahead and call first, maybe save some gas money.

I need some money!

I always find it funny when people refer to the item numbers as DCPI instead of DPCI. I worked at Target for 10 years and people have been doing that for as long as I've known. DP=department, C=class, I=item. On another note, I was digging some of those figs, but upon further, and closer review, they are all pretty damn ugly. Tailwhip is epsecially retarded looking. Looks like he might be a third brother related to Skids or Mudflap with that mug. Anyway, I will only be picking up a small handful of HFTD figs, and it looks like they won't be from Target.

A lot of skip-able stuff here for me.

Thanks for pointing this out. Now that I know what it stands for after all of these years, I'll be sure to get it right in the future. I edited my post and the news story to correct this.

We're still waiting in Maryland. I hit Targets in Columbia, Laurel, and Owings Mills recently because I pass by all relatively regularly, and none have new figures. Toys R Us in Gaithersburg, however, does, while Toys R Us in Columbia does not. Walmart doesn't have any around here yet either. Anyway I like to buy my toys at Target because they are good about exchanges and have fast service and often have sales on holidays and stuff while Walmart just maintains its regular "low" price. My guess is since Hasbro and says they'll be available in August, all stores should have them just in time for Labor Day Weekend sales.

toysrus i had to pay 39.12 total at toysrus when i could have got deluxe figures 2 dollars cheaper than what toysrus selling them for my fault for not not theres

but at least now i know where im going first when generations get released target not toysrus

One of the target's near me looked like it was cleaned out with a bulldozer. I was really surprised to find no Tuner Mudflaps. None. The only transformer stuff there was a few of the rollplay stuff for kids. Iron Man as well was cleaned out. Hopefully soon they restock with new stuff. Though if it is around August third that isn't long to wait.

Only exclusive pack I want is the more accurate sideways with the bike sisters. But that seems to be the popular choice so I fear it will be hard to find when it is out.

I'm pretty sure that creepy eyes lightning bolt bumblebee with Fiesta Barricade will be around for a long...long...long time. Hasbro needs to learn to stop with 500 bumblebees. I know he is the "pikachu" of the line, but really..way too many.

All of this is wasted plastic and could have been put to better use. oh well!

AWSOME love the barracade and sidways 2 pack !that = a buy!
BUT once again Bumblebee is in a 2pack with a awful repaint blue and yellow and silver

Tailwhip + Smolder + Barricade = Protectocons?!

That's an oxymoron of the worst kind

Okay, now that is awesome. But not awesome enough to pick up the 2-pack.

I'm a little worried by all this neon. The second coming of G2 for Botcon was cool, but we don't want that for a main line...right?

Maybe Hasbro thought "Wow, never thought G2 was such a hit with the collectors. Let's try it with the kids"

The disturbing thing is that I'm starting to like the blue on Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Barricade... I'm such a sucker for blue!

I like blue when it's done well, but "Allspark" blue is just too garish for my taste.

Well if Hasbro wants to throw in some G2-esque stuff here or there, that's cool, I just hope they keep some more understated schemes as well.

Uh, I think you're dad would pretty much BAN you from target if they re-stocked ours. Still... I like the 'Swipe and Barricade 2-pack. I'm also glad they're making a series more like classics again. Can't wait for Generations to hit shelves around here!

Oh, and by the way, I think they need to make a two-pack of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. They could use the same mod as movie 'swipe for both, but with a different head and such for details. Obviously they would need to be re-colored for a G1 look instead of the energon blue stuff. Makes everyone look like they're kinda battle-damaged to me.

4 targets in my area have 0...and I mean 0 transformers out on the shelves..Wal mart has started tp push out the last few Nest figures and of course the horde of Mudflaps ..Can't wait for this weekend!!! I love that new figure smell!

I actually kinda like that version of Bumblebee. Then again, I kinda like brightly colored Transformers for some reason. Maybe cause the handful I have are so muted... Anyway, G2 Redux was pretty awesome, and I wish they were easier and cheaper to get your hands on. I was bidding on a few Cindersaur auctions when Botcon 2010 had just ended and people who didn't care for the figure were looking to offload them for reasonable prices, not this 'listing starts at $50' crap, and the price ended up going WAY up. For just a guy who wants a cool Transformer (me), not a collector (those crazies), it was not worth it by a long shot. Oh well. *shrug*

I'm hoping this is the weekend for all of the new stuff. Sucks that Walmart and Target are worthless right now with new stock when usually they're the first to get stuff.

Whats wierd in San antonio is no one is really the first.. I mean the 1 TRU here has had the pcc 2 packs and the wave 1 stuff but thats it..Wal mart and target will both probably get their new stock this weekend at least their shelves look like it. Looking foward to a nice weekend of hunting

someone sell me a barricade and a thrust from these packs!
