Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks for to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal, we've learned that a possible image of Earthrise Dirge has turned up on the Chinese social media site Weibo. The image, shared by user @tfjianggqi, shows a possible Dirge, though missing an arm. He looks very similar to the previously shared Earthrise Thrust.

Dirge always was an unlucky guy, I guess the swarm must have got his arm. At least that explains his screaming face.

That looks like a pretty good Dirge. He's my favorite conehead, so I'm glad to see him

All while Target now says shipping is unavailable. It makes me almost want to pay that much, but it's almost double the price for 2 voyagers. I'm holding out hope that maybe stores around me might get some in stock eventually, and they don't all get bought up by scalpers.

As soon as I saw the “in stock” notice on Target’s site for my local store, I drove over, and while there were none on the shelves, a helpful employee looked on his handheld device and said there some in the stock room, so he went and found one for me and brought it up front. At this point, if you can’t find it in Target stores, that may be the best price you see since they are going for around $150 on Ebay.

I would recommend waiting things out a little bit. Last year the Rainmakers set trickled out similarly, then were out in full force and by back to school time, many stores were clearancing them. They also came into and out of stock on Target's website a couple times as well with a few of the times being available for a while, not just blink and you miss it.

How much was it at Target in store?

Does their website list them, I couldn't find them? Do we expect the price to be what TFsource is posting or can we get it cheaper from somewhere else?

Thanks

Aerodynamics be damned!

As for Dirge, I like that shade of blue, but why couldn't the person taking the shot transform him all the way? Or is he just missing an arm? Is this a factory reject that was scooped out of the trash?

I'm still stalking Omega Supreme. I noticed BBTS has a preorder. Anyone know if this is a 2nd run? Will other retailers carry it?

Just go for it, it's probably the only shot you'll get. They've been putting old stock up for pre-order lately when no one else is, and getting it in pretty quick. Just had the same thing happen with a mini revoltech Iron Man Mk6

Kills me that it'll be $190 after shipping and tax.

It's the cost of buying it a year late unfortunately. He was a popular titan, very few deals and they only lasted very short periods of time

He needs work!!! For one Dirge and Ramjet have either a black face or a dark grey face . Thrust is the one that has a white face .

It seems to be a partial transformation, I can see what looks like the base of the folded-up left arm. Thrust was in an odd partly-transformed state too, in the leaked photos of him.

Meaning in US dollars? Eh, could have been worse.

I'm glad I jumped on Omega when it was on sale at 200$CAN (146$US) at Walmart instead of the normal 250$CAN (182$US). Plus taxes but at least the shipping was free.

Omega is an amazing titan well worth the money.

They were $59.99 in store, same on the website.

Here is a link to the item on Target.com (if it works).

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Good to know. The link worked, but of course out of stock, wish we could order them.

Why are they doubled the price on TFsource? Ebay I expect supply and demand. Disappointed to see that price on TFsource.

It is quite rediculous pricing. The couple times it has come back in stock online, it's gone in a couple minutes. The email restock notification woke me up this morning, and in the 9 minutes or so before waking up and looking at my phone they were sold out again.

Hopefully it will be like the rainmakers they’ll hit semi-saturation by November
