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.

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

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. 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.

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.
