Thanks to the detective work of our very own Jtprime17 we can share for you information about the upcoming Target Exclusives T-Wrecks And “Worlds Collide” Multipack.
These new Transformers items have popped up in Target’s system. Read on for the price and respective DCPI of each one and additional details about them.
- Transformers Leader Class T-Wrecks – $49.99 – DCPI 087-16-2849 We had seen in-hand images of this Kingdom Megatron redeco (homage to the original Beast Machines redeco of the same name) a few hours ago. To our surprise, T-wrecks is going to be a Red Card exclusive store item, so you need a Target credit/debit card to buy this toy in the U.S.
- Transformers “Worlds Collide Multipack” – $79.99 – DCPI 087-16-8265 While there are no images of this item, we had had rumors about this pack from some time before. It’s supposed to be a 4 pack, but it’s still unknown which figures are included nor the size/class of each one. You guess is as good as ours.

That's my point. Red Wing was the first, so they just passed Target a Gen Selects. This did fairly well, and Target realized it would be difficult to sell these at retail in regions that didn't have RedCards. So after that, they sent branded figures as exclusives and left the Selects guys for etailers that didn't have a storefront.

Yes, because T-Wrecks isnt a Gen Selects figure. Every one of them have been in the brown box. No Gen Selects figure but Red Wing has been exclusive, so that might be why it was that way.
T-Hybrid
If Wrecks is a RedCard exclusive, he still comes in the standard Kingdom box.
My thinking is retailers prefer their exclusives come in standard packaging because it helps the item sell more than a generic unmarked brown box in regions where the item is exclusive but not locked behind an online store front.

Red Wing was also a RedCard online only Generations Selects figure, which all have the brown box. None of the others were. Either just straight up in regular packaging or with the "Cybertronian Villians" note on the box.
T-Hybrid
Red Wing was the first, so that could explain the Selects box. Once the relationship became more formal they may have decided to start shipping them in official looking boxes so Target had the option to display them on shelves.
I typically buy a couple, as I can usually find someone in the area who needs it…and if not it goes back to the store.

Easiest prediction of 2021: Road Rage will sell out super fast on Hasbro Pulse.
I was able to successfully order/pre-order Thrust, Runabout and Red Wing with Target. The funny thing about Red Wing was that I had to choose the "Ship to Store" option for that and it was in the brown Generation Selects box. I think all other Target exclusives use regular or modified WFC mainline packaging. I scrambled really hard for the TC/SW pack as soon as it started showing up.
I don't think Road Rage will shelf warm at all. Just remember, if you find multiples, please leave any extras for your fellow collector.
T-Hybrid
Road Rage may be a bit later as we just saw her randomly today. T-Wrecks is shipping (at least over seas).
jmagnus83
yeah i dont collect Joe or Rangers so i wasn't sure on that stuff. Hopefully T-Wrecks and Road Rage are up on Friday.
T-Hybrid
There's already a *few* Target exclusives on Pulse (though they sold out quickly). One of which is the Red Sentry Power Rangers Lightning Collection figure.
Fenrys
They've done it for Target GI Joe exclusives as well
jmagnus83
They have for the Walmart exclusives and Amazon so i wouldn't be surprised if we see T-Wrecks and Road Rage very soon on Pulse.
SG Roadbuster
Hopefully hasbro pulse puts preorders up for him so i dont have to deal with target's system

Every time I see a thread that mentions T-Wrecks in the title, I hope it's someone posting the link to his Target page.
T-Hybrid
I dunno if it's regional, but after the initial POs sold out…eventually they all had a period where they were pretty easy to find in stores. It took a bit, but they *all* did.

I know at least the Decepticlones and Red Wing did not have preorders. I dont remember the Rainmakers having preorders either. So it really seems like Target has no constant to go off of.
Matthew Haskett
Correct. All of these figures were available for preorder. They do, however, sell out almost immediately and then you can’t find the listing.
all are dead
TC/Skywarp didn't, that much I remember. But you are right about Thrust and Runabout. Those I think got big announcements from Hasbro, whereas the others did not outside of the Decepitclones.
I could just be remembering all completely wrong too, I am incredibly stupid.
Thundershot
Nope. The original that was going to be was rather unfortunate looking. I think a modern interpretation would be much nicer.
SoundwaveSuperior
Runabout and Thrust had pre-orders, and I thought that the TC/Skywarp pack did too.
all are dead
Target doesn't seem to put exclusives up for preorder. TC/Skywarp, the Decepticlones, Red Wing, were all "we've got it now" when they got listed. So i just wonder if they haven't received T-Wrecks yet.
