It's actually Idaho, not, Indiana. I tried to correct the OP on TFW as well....

Mine should too. Well it should have arrived today. Target used Fedex Smartpost, which hands of to the local post office and mine kinda of sucks with packages. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Mine arrived this evening from Target via UPS, I wonder why the different carriers?

Also is this the first time we've seen a Titan at retail outside of TRU and wholesale clubs (and Ollie's)? I have a feeling he'll be showing up at Best Buy as well.

Fry's Electronics Had Fort Max and Trypticon, I went in there for the first time in almost a year not too long ago, store is almost half empty, was already on its way out, won't survive this pandemic I'm afraid, kind of sad

The usage of color is fantastic. They did a great job recreating the G1 aesthetic while updating it in every way. If you spot Snapdragon, he’s definitely worth picking up.

Note: On his package images he looks like he’s got more white in him, similar to Apeface. His actual coloring is somewhere in between Apeface and Earthrise Starscream.

Can you take any comparison pictures of Snapdragon together with Apeface?

He's here!

Here’s some quick ones of the robot modes. I’ve been storing Snap’s guns on his chest cause I just like how it looks.

Looks like he had a bit of a rough journey.

He did yeah. But hot dang if this isn't a fantastic figure so far! Like seriously, I think this is the best leader (first impressions) of the entire WFC line so far

Pretty snug. Knok is in his chest at the moment, and Skar is on the back. You can only fit 1 in at a time

Ok, so more like Soundwave, that's cool. Definitely looking forward to mine shipping from Amazon next week.

Um, has anyone noticed that Doubledealer preorder is available on Walmart.com for $42.99??

I just pre-ordered for $45. Won't be here until September, but I have too much school to do in the meantime anyways.

Thanks for pics of them together, this makes me even more excited. Those purples seem to match really well!

Scorponok in store at Target, eh? Too bad I already pre-ordered mine at "the Pulse"....

This is seriously the best leader class figure I have handled outside of Studio Series since CW Ultra Magnus. I love this toy so much

Okay, I seriously want this repainted into Cybertron Defense Team Red Alert.

You and me both

I did as well, but you can cancel anytime. If by some miracle I do find it in Target before pulse gets it, that's what I'm doing.

Funny, I just read this from UltraPrimus, posted 12 years ago:

Looks like a full circle

Just ordered the Clones from Target. They show in-stock at my usual store but they don't have the pick it up option. As I was checking out I saw a ship to my store option but then it wouldn't arrive till next weekend while ship to my home will arrive this weekend. Needless to say, I should have the clones Saturday. Plus I was able to squeeze in a pre-order for Airwave. I had him pre-ordered on both Pulse and Amazon and somehow cancelled both

It's like looking in a mirror...

A tad late in response about finding the past Titans in a store. When I was stationed in Hawaii I was lucky enough to snag Fort Max at TRU and then Trypticon on base at the local exchange store. Would be really cool to snag Scorponok at a local Target. I do have him preordered though. Cant wait.

Side note good pics as always @Dmax!

I saw the clones at Target last week and picked them up along with the seeker 2-pack. It was the only one on the shelf. Still haven't opened them yet.

Wow, both two packs in a single run!

I went to a couple outlier Target stores yesterday, and nothing... However just now my wife is shopping at our local Target and she found Skylynx . So that is cool. It's nice to have someone who can go early in the day for me. I thought there was zero chance of finding that at a store near me, especially so soon, still haven't seen clones or seeker packs yet. I don't want them, just like to see them though...

Apparently Slitherfang is getting around. I know my closest store had him, because I saw Rung. What irks me though, is on the day I probably could have got it, the employee I asked was being a real jerk and refused to go in the back to look.

I hear you, my wife does the same when she can. Same here, I just want to put an eye on the Clones and Seekers pak.

SGM

My fiancé was able to find Doubledealer for me a few weeks ago at Target while he was out shopping and I was out of town. I was hoping he would find the Seeker 2-pack, but I was able to order that from Target.com eventually, along with the Clone 2-pack. Getting Doubledealer "early" was a nice surprise.

Most definitely, that's awesome to hear.

Doubledealer looks good. How small is he compared to TR Overlord, however?

I am patiently waiting for Snapdragon and Skylynx to pop up in stores around here, but y'all are making Doubledealer sound pretty damn tempting! And it doesnt help been a long time since a nice, chunky, unique looking Leader class figure has been on shelves

Doubledealer continues to be the best leader in years. This guy is so good!

and i unlocked his secret 5th mode: Archangel mode

Yep, got lucky. Now the only one I need from a store is Snapdragon. Everything else has been preordered.

aronjlove wrote:It's like looking in a mirror...

... only not.

Got Doubledealer in a few days ago with that Amazon discount, he looks really good and I'm tempted to open him, but I really wanna wait until I get the Selects Cassette 4-pack in from BBTS so I can have the "full package". God knows when my preorder there will come in.

These lil dudes are way more fun than I expected, especially since they still have the Titan Master seats. Really hope they rerelease the Autobot Clones now.

Someone should take a picture of the small Zarak head on Titans Return Galvatron.

I wish my Knok and Skar would hurry up and ship. Been so long I don't even remember now where I ordered them from. Ugh!

But I agree. At first when I took him out I was like "this thing is a mess" but its a BEAUTIFUL mess and I am quite happy with it.

Thanks. This has been corrected.

Can anyone double check the DPCI for Scorponok? Not sure if this is correct: 087-16-1984

It also doesn't pull up the listing on Brickseek or Target's website. Just want to double check. Thanks!

Snakes on a plane

If you look underneath the ER Seekers, there is a spot where their forearms come together in alt-mode and the post on a figure stand fits. Obviously it isn't intentional so it isn't a tight fit but it works good enough to take pics or even leave on a shelf. I have Siege Starscream and the more I mess with these two the more I'm tempted to pick up ER Starscream to complete the trio in both sets.

Definitely don't see the point in skipping Starscream with those two on deck.

Well the absence of weapons for Pounce and Wingspan is no problem as that's what the Battle Masters are for. I do wish they had the larger ports on the sides of their arms and legs to shield them up with the cassettes.

You should definitely pick up ER Starscream, if only to complete the trio. Besides, IMO the ER seeker mold has the best jet mode ever. I mean, I would put it up against the MP versions.

And yes, my clones will be getting Heartburn and Heatstroke from the Hotlink set, since I don't have Hotlink anymore. Matching guns for matching bots.

I agree, the jet modes look pretty bangin, that's why I'm patiently waiting for the coneheads to start rolling out before I join the Seeker party

So...I managed to get Scorponok, what a pain to get it though. A couple of things....

Brickseek actually did work for me this time (considering its the only item with that DPCI) there was one Target of about 10 I could drive to, that was 20 miles away, that had "limited stock". Apparently this particular Target was behind on things (didn't even have a TF endcap like all the others). The floor employee confirmed they did have 2 Scorponok's on a pallet in the back but that "they could not be put out until his manager returned form vacation to reset the toy aisle"

So, like someone else here said I determined not to leave the store without one, knowing it was there. I went to customer service and explained, got a higher up manager and they did actually have that first employee go in the back, dig through the pallet and get it for me. I made sure to explicitly thank them all for going above and beyond.

Additionally, not sure this is a nationwide thing, but at least one of the Target's I went to had SS and Siege/ER Deluxes on sale for $16.99. Might be a good time to pick any up if you were holding out, sale ends Saturday 8/1. I'm hoping ER wave 2 will start appearing soon thereafter. Also slightly OT, I saw one Target had it's own peg for SS 68 Leadfooot, so it must be coming soon. But even though it is a Target exclusive, I'd imagine whole cases of them are going to not sell quite as quickly.

Hopefully ill have time to open up Scorp later today and show off my now complete Titans shelf.

Additionally SkyLynx is 087-16-4497
