I especially like the beast targetmasters.

The beast Targetmasters are uniformly great. Too bad they're bundled into the kids-line figures (which is pretty good tbh, but not for myself) I'd get all of them if they're sold as Core price 2-packs.

And poor Scourge. He got the short end of the design stick, his whole lower-half is OP's.

Cheetor, Rhinox and the crocodile target master are sold individually at least.

I got charged by Amazon for something, not sure what, but it's something.

i am completely obsessed with the new beast mode Target/Battle Masters, getting all of them hands down. it really helps to that the weapon modes are so weirdly good and nicely detailed?

That Scorponok looks real nice, I am excited for that one.

I am excited for a lot of these, it looks like we are going to have some fun toys to mess with

Indeed, that Scorpy is a must have.

I'll be getting the Prime and Primal Weaponizer 2-Packs tomorrow. Who's ready for a ROTB party?

I need to figure out how to get my hands on that "Burning Plasma Blaster". Maybe Mandarake will end up with a bunch of them...

Also love that the Scorpion Battle Master has 5mm holes in his claws.

Am I the only one who thought this Scourge was Wreck-Gar? Giving me serious Animated Wreck-Gar vibes.

You mean the big "smash n change" who have the same frame as the Optimus?

Yeah, I can see it.

Where is your local target located?

We have reports of several toys from the Transformers Rise of the Beasts main toyline being found or now in the hands of US fans.

From our own Seibertronian, Ig89ninja, we have reports of the Beast Alliance Beast Combiners found at their local Target. Those include Bumblebee & Snarlsaber, Arcee & Silverfang and Optimus Primal & Skullcruncher, they are $21.99. We also have in hand images from TF Fan Sponge who found them at a Target in Texas and also provided the receipt with DCPI. We see through their images that the armours are interchangeable with the robots.

Ig89ninja also found the Target exclusive 3 pack that includes deluxe Nightbird, Cheetor and Wheeljack. So great news for fans of that design. That 3 pack is $59.99.

Lastly, the Optimus primal and Optimus Prime Beast Alliance Beast Weaponizers 2-Packs have come in from Amazon.com and been delievered to US fans. They were $14.94 and we have a review for Optimus Primal with Arrowstripe.

Amazon have delayed mine until tomorrow. They're the weaponizers so I think those are the ones with the beasts that turn into guns, I think.

Good to see that three pack is out now, wish it would show up online.

Wreck-Gar is still unbeatable in that regards. (Man, is it cold here!)

Another one of my ROTB orders got pushed up to tomorrow, I think it's the stand alone Optimus Prime, I don't even think it comes with a weapon.

With the new Transformers Rise of the Beasts gimmick toys out now, we have a review to give you a better look at the toy in case you are curious about it.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Finally, we have some official, non-side-released, Rise of the Beasts toys to check out. Beast Combiner Optimus Primal with Skullcruncher is a fun toy, borrowing heavily from the Spark Armor concept from Cyberverse while bringing something new to the table. You really have to like the wink and a nod homage to the very first Beast Wars release from back in the day. While targeted towards younger fans, there's more than a little here for older fans as well.

Reminds me of the larger-sized Spark Armor toys from Cyberverse.

This is more of a clarification than news, but judging from the comments on social media, it seems it bears to be mentioned. While a multipacks of deluxe class figures for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts line have been revealed and even found, we are still getting the same deluxe figures as individual releases. Not only have we had listings for the single deluxe releases, but we also have shipping manifests showing that these single releases have arrived at US ports. This was confirmed by TFW2005 user Silver Optimus.

Which means that on Target shelves, you will have deluxe class toys from the 3 packs that will also be on shelves sold individually at the same time. If anyone is curious as to why Target would get have the same items on shelves at the same time, it is most probably due to the film delays. While the individual deluxe releases (by that I mean the non SS deluxe Airazor, and the Wheeljack with glasses toy we've seen) were all scheduled for a 2022 release, Hasbro is only distributing them now. The Target exclusive 3 packs may have always been scheduled for 2023 (since 2022 still had a steady stream of Buzzworthy Bumblebee releases) and now everything is coming to shelves at the same time. There should be no difference between the decos. What is happening here is the same thing that happened with the Cyberverse deluxe 3 pack, except since that one was released as scheduled, the 3 pack was released after the individual releases.

Toys R Us charge a whopping 30$CAN more for that Cyberverse 3 pack than if the deluxes were individually sold. Meaning you pay for a "phantom" deluxe.

So I wonder what the price of the individual ROTB deluxes will be and how much that 3 pack would cost at Toys R Us? That is, if they bother ordering the damn thing in the first place.

News Credits: 317 · by **chuckdawg1999** » Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:20 am

I think even if everything was released as it was supposed to, Target would still have the single packed figures on the shelves at the same time as the 3-pack. I wish Target would get this stuff up online.
