Tformers.com- Target exclusives may be starting to trickle out to stores. According to a member of Tformers, a Target in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania had one of the two-packs for purchase. You can view the original sighting here, which includes picture and receipt proof.

Our Canadian brethren have been fortunate enough to have seen these in their stores earlier, but it looks like they are starting to come out in the U.S. too.

If you would like to search to see if your Target is holding the latest exclusives on hold in the stock room for you, here are the DCPI numbers you can use to check:

087-06-2061 Legends 5-Pack
087-06-2062 Voyager/Deluxe Comic Packs
087-06-2068 Animated Deluxe with Legends


If you have a sighting to share, help you fellow collectors out by adding your sighting to the database, and also posting in the appropriate Sightings forum thread.

That particular target is a bit of a drive for me, but I'd consider it if they don't hit my closer Targets soon.

I really want that 2-pack.

I'm not interested in driving 40 some miles each way to my closest target so I did the alert me when in stock on Target.com. I'm tired of driving all that way to only come back empty handed.

But now I'm getting psyched about both 2-packs. lol

You have to take them to your local Target store and have an employee punch it in their little PDA thing, or find a price checker that also doubles as a DCPI/availability station and type it in yourself.

Meh. Not interested in the Ratbat, and with Evac available (who I really like!) I'll probably pass on this set.

Now Dirge is another story.

Got mine about a month ago, and I have to say I found them somewhat lacking in QC. Right out of the box my Ratbat's right shoulder hinge was so weak he couldn't hold a single wing blade without it pulling the arm down. His plastic also seemed quite cheap and when I compared it side by side with Sideways the lower quality was quite telling. Springer had a shoulder problem too, it was practically superglued so I couldn't transform him into copter mode without heavily forcing the hinge open, something I'll NEVER do with a fig for fear of breaking. A friend got his the same day and his Springer had an eye missing. Another irritating little detail is that both their Cyber key powers are somewhat tight, and you have to shove the key in forcefully with the flat of your hand to get the power to work. ALSO, mine was packaged with the wrong comic. 8-} IT came with the coverless Target 2006 part 4 and 5 issue, which I suppose was supposed to come with the Dirge/Roadbuster (got it simultaneously) since the Autobot Ambush came with War Within 3, the comic featuring Springer/Ratbat.



If you really want the molds, spring for the Cybertron versions.

That is what freightens me about all these toys now a days. I don't want to go out of my way to get a store that isn't near me exclusive to find out it's junk. I miss the days of quality toys that I didn't give a second thought about buying, not combing the forums looking for reviews. I've still got my fingers crossed.
