Transformers Generations SELECTS Red Wing Available for Pre Order As A Target RedCARD Exclusive

Target finally forced my hand to get a Red Card for this!

How could Target with all their red iconography not jump on this bloody bastard right? I’m blanking on the name of the Wrecker from DotM they did some select marketing for the best one with the gut and the mutt

I was thinking the same thing. Really curious as to who will have him in Canada.

I like how shipping information is free on orders over $35 or with Red Card, but with Red Card you still get charged shipping. Things like this is why I hate Target.

So I ordered 2 to get over 35 for free shipping and I'll take one back to the store and return it. FU Target!

Modern problems require modern solutions, amirite?

Seriously, if you gotta pay shipping on a Target exclusive, even though you have a REDcard, that really sucks. At least have shipping be free for those who do have one.

I understand but i ended up getting something that i needed at the house to get me over, i.e. toothpaste.

The shipping got taken off of mine at the very end, right before I confirmed the order. (I ordered one.) The only thing I got charged was MN Sales Tax, which was almost completely offset by the 5% Red Card discount from Target.

You didn't have to buy two, once you put your pin number in it removes the shipping. I just ordered one myself for a total of $30.06 since the 5% REDcard discount also applies (Maine sales tax is 5.5%).

And FYI for those that don't know, you can get a debit REDcard, you don't have to get the credit card version.

Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

Chillax. People are just speculating about Target having been eager for him because he so happens to have Target-y colors.

It Is Him wrote:Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

No, it's just red.

It Is Him wrote:Hold up. Is this a Target themed Transformer?? That’s gross.

Nope, this is a character that was created by a convolution of events for Botcon 2013, it's just Target exclusive because it's red.

Ah thanks. I’m still not wild about this character sharing a similar color scheme to Target branding and then being sold exclusively at Target. I know it’s not the first time we’ve seen IRL unrelated corporate branding in this sci-fi fictional world or toyline, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it

Nah. I’m going to buy them all so no one will get one

Lancer is sold out. . I truly hope they get more, or that they are made available elsewhere because that would be some world class BS otherwise. Amazon exclusives are plentiful, heck they even have some form last years releases. All the other Selects are plentiful as well. Galactic Man is still in stock...But of course, the only one I wan't isn't...

BBTS and TFSource have them for pre-order. I'd cover yourself there and keep checking Pulse.

I would have given you this sooner https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... now/43620/

I just thought you meant you wanted her shipping now, since those are indeed sold out with only preorders left.

I thinking of suing hasbro because of all the exclusives the Red Wing being a Target exclusive reuqires you to give up a whole lot of information to get it. And the process is truly annoying trying to checkout and even though the pop up window said to start shopping there was no way to add the thing to the cart. SO now I gotts wait 7 to 10 days for a card I really dont want because I rather shop at Walmart or any other place because Target had a retarded check out process.

You, uh, aren't being forced to buy Red Wing, are you? Owning this thing isn't a requirement or necessity of life, is it? You could just, well, choose to not pursue owning Red Wing. Just sayin'.

I'm pretty sure you would have zero grounds for a lawsuit. First, Target's decision to make it a RedCard excluding has nothing to do with Hasbro so why would you sue them? I'm just as annoyed by this, and hoping that they won't go out of stock before my card arrives, and will be cancelling my card as soon as I pay off RedWing if I'm lucky enough that he is still available whenever my card gets here.

Second, as a parent of a retarded child, find some new adjectives please. Using a person's disability as an insult just isn't cool.

Geez stop while you're ahead you take things to another level and you aren't in the leagl department for Hasbro or Target. Sorry for your situation but we wouldnt have known your child's disability unless you mentioned it. Read your statement one more time and think, no one called your child any deragatory name. Reading Is Fundamental.

I don't have to be in anyone's legal department to have a pretty good idea that suing Company A for a decision Company B made on how to sell Company A's product has very little chance of working.

As for the second item, would you have called their checkout process gay? I'm guessing not. Why would a disability be any different than race or sexual orientation? Taking something that is a definitive quality about a portion of the population and using it as a negative insult to something that it doesn't apply to just isn't cool nowadays. I say this as someone who used gay and retarded as insults myself when I was younger, but I eventually grew the hell up and realized it just isn't cool. Many more people than you may realize care about people who may be retarded, or gay, or whatever.

Don't be sorry for my situation, my daughter is awesome!!! As a parent you aren't supposed to have favorites, but she is the whole family's favorite. Target's checkout process for RedWing on the other hand sucks.

Can you see now why it might be offensive when your language equates the 2?

"Gay" could very well mean happy... As for the words and other words like it they are used everyday. This is where context applies. Context is key; Context is king. Like I said in my line of work I deal with "context" evryday. I dont mention my child is autistic and mute unless you ask. Even if someone says "the process is austistic" I would never jump to saying "oh I take offense to that because you are referring to a gorup of people"...why, becuase it warrants another converation which for the sake of "context" is not warranted in the first place.

As for suing, I know what grounds believe me I work with legal so they'll say "hey that's dumb" or "you may have a case...but.." I deal with contracts daily so customers threaten legalities based on loop holes. However I wish nothing but the best for you and your family . That is all.

Out of curiosity, what grounds would you sue them on, since they really don't have anything to do with what Target does with Red Wing after saying they can have it, just like with all the other billion exclusives they do. This is me speaking as someone who can't get ahold of Red Wing in the UK (no Targets and supermarkets don't really stock generations any more)

Well the whole thing comes from you having to sign up for a Red Card Credit or Debit Card. Both of these require you to put in your SSN and other personable information to get the card, then you can buy the figure. All of the other exclsusives including past Target excluisves do not require this level of requirements to purchase. And you cannot purchase without doing this. For starters I want it so I have to go thru it but now when I try to check out and retrieve the item, the window times out and now my normal Target online acct and this new Red Card Credit Card thing are not linking up so now I have to wiat for the physical card to arrive. Now I got a hit on my credit because it is being run. Now this kinds irks me because well I have to do all of this to buy "this" and there is no other way to get it. That is my gripe and it makes you the buyer have to commit to your personable info being required to purchase if you never had one. Now thats trickery and yes if you see the reviews it's because the process is truly daunting. Target has had many of Transformer Exclusives that did not require this and it's a way to get people to sign up for their crappy credit or debit program.

Probably not G1 or obscure enough for Selects, but a Hound retool into Strongarm would be cool.

Hot Shot's got first dibs for a Hound retool.

I know they usually have one alternate head built in and Hotshot was teased through the packaging and "do you like Unicron Trilogy?" line, but Ironfist could be in there somewhere. Even the gun works, sort of. Compare the long barrel here
with Hound's longer gun here

I can totally see it. Although the potential redeco of Hound I'd really like to see is actually Detritus. On the grounds of the Decepticon ranks needing all the help they can get.

I think the Ironhide/Crosshairs/Ratchet mold proves they're willing to do more than just one alternate head, so Ironfist/Ironclad could absolutely happen.

If I didn't enjoy red wing so much I'd organize a cage match for everyone who wants one, last man standing gets to buy it.

Got the shipping notice from Target for Red Wing, should be here next Thursday.

Shame Pulse hasn't shown any sign of shipping Lancer and Galactic Man yet even though they're paid for and in stock.

You say that the cons need filling out, but don't they outnumber the bots at voyager level? It could be why deluxe looks so con-barren but the bots are supposed to be smaller.

@bvzxa I can see why you would have grounds on Target but Hasbro will just say they had no idea that Red Wing was going to be put behind the Red Card. Can't see why you're dragging them into it when it sounds like your main beef is with Target and how they're handling this particular exclusive.

That is some neat trivia. Guess those set designers will use anything if it works...
Chug collector moment: I never knew that G1 Shockwave was HUGE! The set photos had me a little curious, so I checked the old galleries. If G1 Megatron was a siege voyager, Shockwave was at least a Prime Wars Leader. Much like with Blaster, I had no idea.

As far as fun facts go, that fact right there is FUN!

I had never heard that either.

Technically, two heads per shell seems to be the norm. Ironhide and Crosshairs are one shell, Ratchet is another Ironfist/Ironclad/Fisitron can still happen as a reshelling of Hound.

Just got Redwing delivered and the hinge for his back immediately snapped off. Very soft plastic. I'm glad I ordered two! Gonna return it.

Be careful if you ordered him! Didn't have this issue with Starscream...
