We have some Transformers Earhrise Doubledealer news. Firstly, for those who ordered it on Amazon, it's shipping out. For those hoping to find this at retail instead, well we have good news and bad news. This toy has been found at Targets across the US but we are getting several accounts online that Target has made a mistake with the time stamp and they may not let you purchase it.
Also, speaking of Target, the Seeker Two Pack has been switching from available to unavailable online but it's currently available and has been for a day.

I consider this good news because the Rainmakers were easy access. We just have to wait.
However, if they do the "don't ship to Quebec" for reasons....

The original news of its existenec comes from shelf tags from Toysrus Canada.

You say it's been available online for a day, but every time I got to order it, it gives a popup saying it's out of stock.

In the past two years, this has happened to me no less than half a dozen times a year. Always at a Target, but not always the same Target, and every time except once it was a TF (the other time it was a Mega Bloks set). Every one of those times, I've found the same item at a different store chain, often within two weeks of the initial incident and always before Target's "street date."
I don't shop at Target much any more.

Last summer, on the other hand, I first found Cyberverse Alpha Trion in a Target, but he just didn't seem to be in the system yet despite his presence on the shelf. The cashier just junk-skned him for me for $10, since she apparently thought $20 was too much for a toy that size! So in my experience, it evens out in the end...unless she got fired.
The most annoying thing I've encountered at Targets this month is that all the stores that upgraded to touch-scanners had to turn them off to prevent Covid-spread, so finding out if something's on sale requires bugging the electronics dept. Gonna' pester the hell out of them when these figures finally show up in my neighborhood, just in case the next screw-up happens to be another Animated-Shockwave/Sunstorm situation.

That's happened to me with 2 different TFs within the past year. I bought the other 3 of the first-half Macadam BAF deluxes, probably all at Targets in January, but when I tried to buy Bee a month later, suddenly he hadn't reached his street date. He (and Prime, Megs and Shockwave) was on the shelf at 3 different Targets, but couldn't be bought. I finally got him at a Meijer right when Michigan went into lockdown.Glarryg wrote:In the past two years, this has happened to me no less than half a dozen times a year.

I finally got my timing right, I guess. I was able to actually add the Thundercracker and Skywarp 2-Pack to my cart this morning and have my shipping confirmation email and everything! Now, to do the same for the Pounce and Wingspan 2-Pack.
Also, my fiancé was able to find and buy me a Doubledealer while I'm out of town. He got very lucky and the cashier didn't give him any guff about the alleged September 1 street date. I'll have a nice gift waiting for me when I get home later this week.
UPDATE: And now I've got the Decepticon Clones ordered as well! I can breathe a sigh of relief. Here's hoping that everyone who wants them can now get them!

Sounds like the same issue when Springer came. If I recall, some individuals just used another like transformer (size wise) scanned it and then put the Springer in their bag. I guess it can’t hurt to try with Douledealer if that’s the case and of course it takes having another leader class available to use.
I know I haven’t spotted him or the Seeker two Pak but their price scans are on the shelf. Fingers crossed!
Definitely appreciate the heads up on the purchase issue.

Target is really incompetent to make the same mistake over and over. No wonder they failed in Canada.

Also, and this isn't directed to anyone in particular but just a general thing - scanning an item then bagging a different item is not smart. While I see no moral objection to it in this particular case, it could be construed as shrink by some loss prevention managers and it's just not worth it to take the chance.

I don't think it works in this case, had a buddy tell me Astrotrain and Optimus are register locked now too. Amazing how they're so bad at this so regularly.SGMLordMirage wrote:Sounds like the same issue when Springer came.

Same, mine hasn't shipped but says "arriving" August 10th, though I just ordered mine 2 days ago when I happened to stumble upon it on sale for $42.50. I doubt any Target in my area will have it before then, and it will probably arrive around the same time as it would based on my Pulse pre order, only about 10 dollars less.

@Scotty P, I should have added that note while scanning is at your own risk with another like item but interesting on how the others are locked. So guess they got smart ).

I tried to buy leader Optimus last week but the associate said it was "street-dated". There were 4-5 Astrotrains' and two Optimus' on the endcap shelf and the Astrotrain was available for shipping for over two weeks (I know this because i had to constantly go online and check each day for Thundercracker and Skywarp availability which finally paid off.). I tried again several days later, and while the machine still was having the "street-date" problem, a second employee found a way to work around the issue. Target seems like it can be a hassle, even when it comes to non-exclusive items.

On a different note, I am enjoying Wheeljack. He is fun to pose

FIX FOR THIS ISSUES
I ran into this at target yesterday when i tried to by prime. It had street date of 9/1 so they would not let me scan it to ring it up. It had been out for months and i had already bought one from there a few weeks ago so i wasn't having it.
Went to customer service, they were kinda helpful but said nothing they could do as they can't bar code it as it would mess up inventory. I showed them it online, saying i can get it in store or i could of had it shipped but it was right there. So i got another customer service manager. I told them i am not leaving without this because there is no reason i can't and it is a target mistake. So they got me another person and she was helpful. She called guest services for me and we told them what was going on.
After them initially not wanting to do much the girl actually asked another quesiton or two and they told her to use the Item Number (DPCI): 087-16-2193 ( that is the one for the seelers ) but she typed it in and it rang up, so screw the upc. The girl then asked would that affect inventory but since that number is tied to the transformer in question, even though i told her it wouldn't, then confirmed it.
Item Number (DPCI): 087-16-2193 seeekers
Item Number (DPCI): 087-16-1267 Prime
Item Number (DPCI): 087-16-6661 Double Dealer
Item Number (DPCI): 087-16-7900 Wingspan and Pounce
So i left with my seekers and prime for my son. Knowing my transformer release dates helped
Long story short, if you run into this and they don't want to sell it as they don't.. Go online and get the Item Number (DPCI). you see it when you click "More details or show details: at the bottom.
i did it on my phone, go to guest services and ask them to ring it up as that DPCI number
That should get you out the door.
Have a good day

Go online and get the DPCI number from the webpage and tell customer service to use that to ring you up.
i actually posted the full target story a few posts above this if anyone is interested.
Call guest services or have them call guest services if you get to customer service and they still don't want to use the DPCI number due to inventory. Guest services will tell them it is ok.

Also on the upc. i actually went there, telling the girl that astrotrain was the same price and the girl had asked did it have a different upc and it did and she wouldn't do it. Apparently those DPCI numbers are what they care about.
Worst case if after all of this you still have trouble, call target guest services, i did not know you could type in the DPCI until the girl that was helping me was talking to the guest service people. If you get any pushback, do what i did and tell them you are not leaving without it

It's sad because I truly enjoy the experience of purchasing toys at B&M over purchasing online. Additionally I enjoy shopping at Target far more than Walmart. Less crowded, a bit more expensive to be sure, but the people in general are usually more pleasant, and at least have some semblance of self respect. However, when you get a jerk-ass Employee like I did the other day, so many positives go out the window, and I now know why I'm getting things online far more than I'd wish to.

Honestly, as much as I love going to B&M stores for picking up figures, generally it's the least successful way of hunting for them. I'd originally been trying to only pick up Studio Series in store because those designs are so hit and miss for me, but my local stores stopped restocking SS voyagers until Rampage is cleared out, and did the same thing with WFC, because they're trying to clear out all the Megatron and Siege Starscream figures. That's why I've been mostly just snagging the ones I really want (Doubledealer, Snapdragon, and SS Overload) online, because A) I can sometimes get really good deals (Overload and Snapdragon for $42, thank you sales and Target employee who messed up pricing), and B) I don't have to try and wait for other shoppers to clear out stock for stores to actually restock and maybe get the newest wave, and not wave 1.
Obviously though, going into stores is just as beneficial however, as I wouldn't have picked up ER Grapple otherwise because he didn't look that good online, but in person he looked pretty good (or possibly just tapped into my younger self's love of construction vehicles ).

They wont call a bluff because it isn't one.
If you pull it up online, it will say purchase in store or that it can be shipped or that it is out of stock
If they give you trouble ask then to call guest services
Or call then yourself. The facts are on your side. IT's not that they don't want to help, they just don't want to put in the effort.
I would be surprised if you helping making their job easier by giving them the DPCI number and even offering to call guest services if they don't want to do the DPCI number for fear of it messing up their inventory. You will leave the store with the transformer you want.

...has it occurred to anyone else that with the Walmart thing Friday morning and some of the characters present in the leaked listings from a bit ago, we might be about to get a teaser of new ER molds before SDCC online (presumably the Bumblebee mold we all but know is coming)?

I got an email from Target that the new release date for my pre-ordered Doubledealer is today, so the strict-on-sale issue may have been addressed now.

...That's a really good point. I'm fully expecting to see Netflix wave two, but I hadn't put 2 and 2 together about seeing new molds yet. And not just Bee, but maybe Cheetor and Elita-1 too. Now I'm getting excited for Friday...

Yes, well, we all know the only thing Mall-Wart truly puts effort into is keeping the Waltons in solid gold Rolls-Royce limousines.
I'm hoping Elita will be her own mold, and I'm also hoping she'll be a Voyager (since I don't think Tall Deluxes are very possible with current design trends).

Although all of the walmart /Netflix Siege figures have been repaints so far, I cannot see how Elita-1 could not be a totaly new figure, except for Chromia, an Elita-1 based on that mold would just be kind of bleh in my opinion.

This is deluxe class height.
Not talking about the G1 cartoon character because what do you think the Netflix Elita 1 is going to be based on?

And the toyline is in turn based on the G1 cartoon. Which, need I remind people, is why (for example) the Seekers have F-15 cockpits on their chests even though they turn into pyramid jets and Megatron has the halves of a Walther P.38 hammer on his shoulders

Exactly. I mean, ferchrissakes the only way Optimus could be more toy accurate is if they rendered him with screwholes. That is toy accuracy the likes of which we haven't seen since 2005.Tuned Agent wrote:Deadput wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Sigh... She's supposed to be close to Optimus in height.

Speaking of online stores, why so many stores don't allow to filter out the sold out stuff? Because it make looking for things to buy about impossible so I usually just give up and don't buy anything.
Am I alone in this?

Precisely, the makers of the show got told that elita 1 was going to be a deluxe size, so in the show, that's how high she became to sell the toy. Lest we all forget, the media is still focused on selling toys (hence why in old IDW characters changed designs so much to reflect what was on shelves, like Starscream donning his old Armada design, or jihaxus using the same body because that's what they did with the toy)

Hmmmm, my Target must be doing something different because I haven't had any issues whenever I find an item on shelf early. After seeing this thread yesterday, I went over to my Target and immediately purchased Double-Dealer with no issue (self-checkout). They also had 3 Earthrise Primes on the shelf but I bought mine from the same store about 2 months ago when one ended up on the shelf then. Of course, I may have just jinxed myself by posting this.

This is full of win for me! I dig the Quintesson Prosecutor, but it won't replace the Impossibletoys one I have. The Bailiff on the other hand? Good job in turning a non transforming nobody into a transforming nobody! Very much into this set.
