Transformers Kingdom T-Wrecks found in Target Stores

Anyone who has core class Megs/Screamer/Prime/Wave, how do you like them? I'm thinking about getting them for display at the office, and since two of them are under $10 for that sale on TF Source, I might do it.

I have Megs and Prime, and I gotta say they're pretty good. Honestly my favorite is Megatron, but I know that's an unpopular opinion

Not that unpopular because of all 3, Megatron is my favorite as well. Despite his humongous backpack, he's quite fun to play with and he looks amazing in both mode. IMO, all the core class figures in the Kingdom line are winners so far. I've yet to get Soundwave though. If you don't have any and there is a sale, you'd be mad to pass them up!

Copy that! Thanks, guys!

Megatron is pretty cool, nothing special though. IMO, Prime is the worst of the 4... rather blah. Soundwave is cool, and his feet in altmode don't bother me as much as when I saw him in pictures. Starscream surprised me, his transformation is much more fun than I originally thought it would be. Personally, out of the 4, Starscream is my favourite

I concur, Core Megatron is a delight, in fact he's on the table in front of me as I write this! Prime isn't bad but his truck mode doesn't chinch down as tight as it should which made him a pass for me. Vertabreak is also really good, so those two would bemy recomendations


And Soundwave if you can find him because I still haven't

I got my T-Wrecks this weekend. I love this T-rex mode in red. This will be the mode I display him in




Spent some more time with Rhinox. He's still just OK






also, I think these 2 make great partners

Haha those pictures are awesome

I was just watching chris mcfeely's transformers: the basics on dinobot video and what a great character he is. Still so hype to have kingdom dinobot, especially because I wanted a good and affordable dinobot for so long. Original was too off, masterpiece is too expensive and Henkei version was too difficult to track down
Kingdom dinobot is great for what he is. Not without flaws but man I love the robot mode and the transformation

So, I have a general question for anyone that's seen Kingdom Wheeljack in person, as well as Earthrise Wheeljack in person: Are the white plastics the same? Because I found a Kingdom Wheeljack at a Target the other day and the plastic seemed a bit of a cleaner white than Earthrise's plastic which to my eye always seemed more in the beige/off-white family

Booooo.

Yeah, they do that for all pre-order products, this has been a thing for a year or two now, I remember they cancelled several pre-orders of mine, and I found those same figures at my local target that same day, it's why I'll literally never pre-order anything from them ever again

Preorders are to ensure you get the figure, I never heard of them being a guarantee to get something first. If you find it at retail, that's awesome, you just cancel your preorder.

No, I'm sorry, that just makes no sense

Why not? That's a go-to tactic for many collectors. Some figures I keep the preorder for if I want one for my son, but that's literally the reason to do it - If I find Rodimus Prime in the wild before Pulse makes my preorder available, I will certainly be cancelling the preorder because my kid isn't getting an 80 dollar figure just yet.

Looks like my local Target plus 2 more relatively close by got another shipment of The Ark this morning. Those looking for it, may want to check their local Targets this morning, or sometime this week.

While most Targets seem to have a tag for this toy, it seems for sure only shipping to certain stores. Brickseek searches 20 Target stores near me, and these are the only 3 that seem to get larger ticket items.

Still no sign of Rodimus...

So I snagged a rodimus from target.com from a great price and was wondering what everyone else thinks of it and whether anyone's had some trouble with the legs not really seeming to have enough clearance to put the tire sections into the leg cavities, because it seems like you just have to completely force them into and out of the legs, and it's giving me so much anxiety

Lucky you.

i know not everybody is in love with the figure, but for me, it's the most anticipated figure of this year with Blaster and Galvatron 2 currently right behind.

I can't freaking wait for him!!!!!!!! I already paid him off on Amazon using gift cards so now I gotta sit patiently until he ships.

Somebody posted on here that Rodimus 'murdered' Optimus and I was like "and he'll be murdering him again once he gets to my house" (assuming murder to mean Prime gets put away and replaced among the Autobots in his place).

Kyleor wrote:So Target has the Ark in some stores, but keeps delaying shipping my preorder?

Booooo.

I’ve got it even worse. Target sent me an email on Sunday, July 25 to let me know the Autobot Ark was finally shipping and would arrive July 29. July 29 came, and the only UPS tracking update was “label created.” I called Target and was asked to wait a few days longer. In the meantime, Rodimus Prime, whom I ordered at the same time, in the same preorder back in April, arrived separately without any issue. I called Target again today, since there was still no update whatsoever from UPS. This time, Target said, “oops, it must be lost. Here’s a refund. We don’t have any more in stock.” Let this be a lesson: even if Target doesn’t screw up and cancel your preorder, they’re still going to fuck up and make sure you don’t get your preorder.

Damn, man. That sucks.

I had the exact same thing happen to me last year with Target, fortunately it was with smaller items, but still disappointing.

I've had issues BOTH with Target and Walmart. I understand the concept of a pre-order is to guaranty you get the item, not necessarily that you will get it first. However... I will counter that with the poor reputation both Target and Walmart have built for themselves, mismanaging stock of specific items, a pre-order should be honored first, because it is incredibly frustrating to have a pre-order cancelled when you know the exact same item is showing up at retail, even if in limited quantities.

When an item is found in store, and pre-orders are cancelled en masse, there is clearly a larger issue.

If it’s not sheer incompetence, it’s complete apathy. A preorder should be considered a contractual obligation, and if a company breaks contract, they need to be sued as punishment, or they will NEVER change their terrible business practices.

The issue with Target and Wal-Mart is that they don't really care about pre-orders (and in Wal-Mart's case, online orders if the essential oils instead of Transformers thing was real). They make the bulk of their toy sales in store, so they prioritize stocking shelves, not online warehouses. They'd rather have fully stocked shelves than the ability to fill online orders (source: talked to a manager about it one time when I worked there). It really sucks that ToyRUs isn't in the US anymore because even though it was a bit more expensive to buy from them, they still did both B&M, and online, because they were focused on toy sales. Amazon's not completely trustworthy, but they don't have to fill B&M locations with toys, so they're slightly better than Target and Wal-Mart.

End of the day: Target and Wal-Mart are trying to fill ToysRUs' former role in the US, without putting any actual effort into filling that role

Most Walmart stores can’t stock their shelves either! Target usually does better on that end, but not by much, and not consistently.

In case anyone needs it, the Sideswipe/Skywarp Battle Across Time set is now "on sale" on Amazon to match the price the set was on Pulse.

I'm not saying they're good at it, just that that's their belief system

That’s the real problem, isn’t it? Economics and business are just “belief systems,” operating off decades old theories that were never tested or proven, just taken for granted. None of this is working out in practice, but since the field is so woefully unscientific, it can’t grow and self-correct. And now we have political parties trying to right a terrible economic system with wishes, hope, and magical thinking, not actual evidence.

I was able to cancel my previous order and make a new one that is $5 cheaper. Thanks!

I've had mine pre-ordered since June, wonder if Amazon is going to match the price when they finally charge and ship it.

It currently states $52.99, rather than the 45.99 $47.99 on the item page.

Hope they keep the Pre-Order price guarantee.

Just as a warning, you may want to make sure your pre-order is the same listing. I had an issue with a Blu-Ray set a while back. I pre-ordered several months before it's release. It started at $45, and eventually went down to $25. But I was charged full price because the reduced one they said "was a separate listing" for the same item. I had to argue with management, and got a refund, but was still a hastle.

Thanks. The link in my order page takes me to the $47.99 listing, and it tells be I bought on June 1st so I suppose it's the same listing. Otherwise, how can one know?

If you do a search by name, and come up with more than one listing for the exact same product, then you will know. I searched and I can only find the $47.99 one same as you.

I don't see one priced at $45.99

Sorry, I meant the $47.99, which has the $5.00 off under it from its original $52.99 price.

Regarding the preorder vs finding in stores, I have a good example happening now at Target: I pre-ordered the Marvel Legends Iron Monger set, and that set came in stock at Target.com Sunday, but my preorder still hasn't showed signs of shipping.

It does get really annoying when stuff like that happens.

Primevsprime put up a review of covert agent ravage

I would've liked a comparison between him and Tigatron but im happy that the comparison with Soundwave was there. Pretty cool

Now im wondering if this will be used for a transmetal Tigatron or if they'd be willing to remold kingdom tigatron the way they used cheetor to make ravage. Probably not, just wishful thinking

Greetings Seibertronians!

Fellow user Razorbeast88 as pointed out that PrimeVsPrime has posted his video review of the highly anticipated Pulse Exclusive Covert Agent Ravage.

He's a WFC update to Beast Wars Ravage who comes with a cardboard insert inspired by the show. The set also comes with a reissue of the original G1 Ravage but this time around, his details are not stickers but tampographs.

Agent Ravage may have the same legs as Kingdom Deluxe Cheetor, but everything else is a brand new mold, making him almost voyager sized in bot mode.

You can see the video down below:



Are you exited about this release? what do you think about this version of Agent Ravage? Let us know!

I appreciate the shout out

XD Theft

This is the one time where it's probably not theft. Ravage was available for a limited time at a convention in a south east asian country, I think last week.

EDIT: Found it, Ravage was sold at Fans Expo 2021 in Hong Kong in July.

Thank you for pointing it out.

Its okay. There's no drama. Didn't mean to offend/irritate anyone. Won't post on this article again.

I did a search and didn't see anyone post this, but I can't be the only one to figure this out. If you have kingdom rodimus, and hate the black flames, stick them alcohol for about 30 minutes. They are clear blue plastic with a super thick coat of glossy black paint

One more for you, the effects parts for ss hotrod and rodimus prime are cross compatible

So he can go from mild speed to ludicrous speed, perfect!

Man, the BM Dinobots really need their own activation code. "Fossilize" would be perfect, but it's already taken by the Predacons' own dino subgroup, the Raptoricons.

Idk but their version of transform and roll out can be "make like tnt and dino-myte!"

Don't delete me

Were you (or anyone else for that matter) able to get the trailer to close with the cannon inside? Mine refuses to shut all the way, there's split going across the top. I checked the instructions to see if I was doing anything wrong and apparently what I'm doing wrong is trying to stick the cannon inside the trailer. The instructions say to putt he canon on top of the trailer and then stick it on the platform after it's open. What kind of design flaw BS is that? Instead of tweaking the clearances a little during the prototype/QA phase (it almost closes!), they just said screw it, don't do it. Very disappointing for an $80 figure.

But that's not all, my Rodimus seems like it might be misassembled. The gray hinge that connects the top of the car to his back refuses to bend enough to sit properly. The one time I did get it to bend at the right angle the hinge stuck like it wasn't meant to bend that way and I really thought I was going to break the clear plastic bending it back.


Its either poorly designed or assembled wrong. Either way I'm not having a lot of fun with this figure.
