Many Hotly Anticipated Buzzworthy Exclusives Being Found in Target Stores

I got Towline from Pulse earlier this week, and they just sent a message that the dying Autobots will ship out soon.

Look, here’s how it works: the street date is either tied to the DPCI OR the barcode. It just depends. Sometimes the DPCI which is on the case box is good so when they scan it a flag doesn’t get raised so it gets put on the shelf because the employees are not scanning every item which is understandable. They literally have pallets and pallets of products on hand they can’t scan every single one. That’s why they scan the case box stuff comes in. And sometimes it’s the other way around where the dpci is flagged with the date and the upc is good. I had that issue with Kingdom Galvatron where his upc was fine but his dpci wasn’t and I had to beg the guy to just scan the figure and it will show it’s available.

Is it a Flawed system that both upc and dpci are not in sync and sometimes stuff worh street dates gets put on shelves? Yes but it’s that way because DPCI is a code that gets used over and over. That’s why stores show stuff is in stock on 3rd party sites like brickseek when in reality it’s not actually there. Is it always the employee who doesn’t know a single thing about the stuff they stocks fault? No not always. They’re just doing their job and these just products to be stocked.

My local target shows how much luck I've had:



Not even a Tow-line in sight

Who has had luck finding this toy in stores? While he has been out in the US, there is not enough stock at the moment to answer the demand which has lead to high prices on the secondary market. But is this toy worth it? We have a review below for anyone interested in knowing the most about Studio Series ROTB Optimus Prime from the Buzzworthy line.

Transformation is smooth and rather intuitive. My only complaint is that I feel his arm cannon seems a bit small. If you can find the figure at retail it's definitely worth the purchase.

I had preordered my copy from Hasbro Pulse and it is suppose to arrive tomorrow. Really looking forward to having this guy in hand.

I managed to snag mine last Sunday. Got lucky, the target that sucks actually had a lot. The new 3 pack, leader gridlock, prime and low line.

Hello. Lets get straight to the point, I do not live in the US, UK or Europe and i cannot order myself a SS ROTB Optimus Prime which is why I have to ask for help. There is a service in my country that can help me deliver packages from UK or US and if your local Target(or any other store) has him and you can purchase multiple of him, please contact me. I need 3 of him for myself and my friends. I will pay for the 3 figures and shipping. Thanks in advance

You should probably tell people what country you do live in rather than the ones you don't if you want people to commit to helping you.

I am still waiting on Target's app to get the listing for Towline and the Scourge's Victims 3-pack. I won't be anywhere near a Target for probably a month now
