Exclusives

Post by bamf226 »

How do I find a list of exclusive Transformers and what store they are being sold in? Is there a way to find out what is on the horizon for the market?

Okay, first of all, questions like this go in Toys/Merch. Just for future reference.

Now to your questions.

Not too sure what's an exclusive where. I know Universe Nemesis Prime is a Target exclusive. Beyond that, someone else is going to have to fill in for you.

As for how to keep abreast of what's coming, there's always the News section of this very site. Another good place would, of course, be the official website. They update with upcoming toys on a fairly regular basis, as well as Q&A.

The entre G1 reissue list is Toys R' Us exclusive... As is Energon Optimus/Megatron 2pak.

King Atlas, IIRC is also a target exclusive...haven't seen im anywhere else.

And Crystal Widow and OilSlick are Kmart exclusives... much like the gold cab armada optimus/jetfire giftset...which is now down to 20ish I think

What about the exclusives listed on the official TF site (OP/Overload and Starscream/Prowl)? Are they only available from the web site or exclusive to a store? Are the Seacons really a Wal-Mart exclusive? I've been out of the buying phase for so long and really want to get my hands on these things.You can never have too many Transformers right?

I got my King Atlas at K-Mart, and have seen a few at Wal-Marts. I'm not sure of any other exclusives out yet.

I really do hate the idea of store exclusives, especially since stores aren't everywhere . . .

The closest target is an hour and a half train ride. I go apesh*te everytime there's an exclusive there because they usually don't even have it when I get there, and I have to order it online for an inflated price.

I'm really miffed that they released a nemesis prime like that (There should be a federal law that all evil primes must be general releases ;)).

Actually the Prime/Overload set is at Costco, and the Checkpoint/Prowl pack is at K-Mart.
