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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.aronjlove wrote:Just ordered the Clones from Target. They show in-stock at my usual store but they don't have the pick it up option.

Wow, both two packs in a single run!

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.

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.
Posted by aronjlove on July 24th, 2020 @ 4:47pm CDT
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
