There appear to be two different versions of Ratchet being distributed. I do not know what difference if any there is between them but the one I got from Target.com is stamped 02201 with a F91B2 GM sticker but is was damaged and it has a really harsh right hip joint; it is smooth going out to the side but it feels like the teeth in the hip ratchet are damaged and just snaps when you bring the leg back in. The number on the box is reproduced on the door panel (black paint with white numbering). The one I picked up as a replacement from the store shelf is stamped 02191 with a A360F GM sticker. The store bought one is nearly flawless (just the most minor paint flaws that you would not notice unless made aware of them) with nice tight smooth buttery ratchet joints and friction joints. Other than the leg panels I think this is my favorite MPM release so far and by far the most screen accurate; I think it edges out Starscream pretty soundly. In hand it is a greenish yellow color where most of the video reviews has it being dayglow yellow. He does not photograph or record on video very well for some reason.

Or if you have a Dymo Labelwriter printer you can make a new barcode and make it any price you want.

My local target is showing 2 in stock. Just waiting for them to be put on the shelves! I don't know if Ratchet will go on clearance so soon, or if that was just to make room for Starscream, so I might end up waiting a few weeks.

I'd also add that MPM Starscream has no bicep swivel or it's very limited. And the jet mode paint job is incredibly off from the actual jet. Studio Series isn't perfect but the jet mode is a hell of a lot closer to the real deal.
A hard sell for me even at 75 to be honest.

No problem, They were able to hold it for me though, so that might be an option.

Alright thanks

No PopFindr

Yes, register states can’t be sold till 9/30.
Kevin Iaquinto
You can bypass that by just stealing it

Did you use brickseek to look up stock?

Has anyone seen him in store and try to buy him? There’s 2 stores near me with him so I’m going to try to get him. But I don’t want to get shut down by a register lock
Primus Omega
What system did you use to look up stock?

I agree with you, I noticed it with MPM Bumblebee who to me appeared as a voyager packaged as masterpiece to justify the price. I am glad I passed on it after I saw the reviews and how inaccurate it was to the robot design in the film.

Mine shipped too but the tracking info has not updated yet so I have no clue other than 10/7/2020 to go on. Getting the customer service number on a post-it ready to go if it arrives in less than stellar condition. Target has no concept on how to package something to ship.
Update:
Fedex Tracking has it set for delivery on Thursday 10/1 coming from TX.

My Ratchet shipped today and will be here Wednesday

I fiercely disagree that this isnt a huge step up from the leader.

I wish I could\'ve gotten Starscream for that cheap, but I\'m not mad I paid retail… I got it home and compared it with the old leader class (aka mpm1) and it really IS significantly better.
