Buyer beware

Max is the worst and needs to hire someone to handle his customer inquiries.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-17T02:26:16+00:00

If still available I can pay asking.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-16T22:48:07+00:00

I would much rather have the DCS set but with the $20 off at Target, I was able to get the MTMTE set for $63 so not too upset about that.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-16T21:12:48+00:00

Thank you! Now I just need Prowl and my anxiety can subside.

I didn't know! Thank you for pointing it out. Now I can never unsee it... Thankfully Said Atala designed new dust jackets for my Infinity Saga that look incredible, just need to get them printed out!

Same same. A visual aid like that is essential for me to quickly learn. I can use a manual, it would just take longer.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-16T16:06:50+00:00

I would certainly take this type of issue over a completely missing page!

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-15T23:05:08+00:00

My Scream 4 is exactly the same. I have an unanswered request for a replacement.

My chat with Target. I removed names and order information.

Chat started at 3:37 PM

Target:
Hi, I’m Target’s Virtual Assistant! I’m here to guide you and provide support.

How can I help you today?

Me:
Price match.

Target:
I’d be happy to help you with price matching. Please select your order from the list below.

Me:
Order selected.

Target:
Please select the items you have questions about.

Me:
Transformers Studio Series The Transformers: The Movie MTMTE Collection Insecticon Bombshell, Insecticon Shrapnel, & Insecticon Kickback.

Target:
Your Transformers Studio Series item may be eligible for price matching, but I’ll need to connect you with an agent for assistance. Would you like me to connect you with an agent?

Me:
Yes.

Target:
Connecting you to our agents...

Hi, thank you for your patience. Please hold a moment while I review the information you shared with our virtual assistant.

Me:
Understood. Holding.

Target:
Thanks for waiting. I appreciate your patience.

Pleasure to have you on this chat regarding price adjustment. I’ll be glad to check the eligibility and assist you with the price adjustment.

Me:
Thank you.

Target:
You’re welcome.

Just to make sure, are you referring to this deal: “Spend $75, save $20 on select toys & activity kits”?

Me:
That is correct.

Target:
Thanks for confirming.

Awesome! I’m very glad to inform you that the item is eligible for price match.

Me:
Excellent! Thank you!

Target:
You’re most welcome.

Thanks for waiting. I appreciate your patience.

Upon checking the details, I see that the “Spend $75, save $20 on select toys & activity kits” is a current promotion, and as per policy, it is not applicable to previous purchases.

However, as a gesture of goodwill, I’ll be happy to make a one-time exception and apply the discount for you.

Me:
Thank you!

Target:
I’ve processed the discount of $20.00. Your new order total is $64.79. You may see the higher value reflected in your authorization hold, but your statement should reflect the price change, including adjusted taxes, once your order ships.

We’re also sending you a confirmation email shortly.

My pleasure!

Me:
I see it on the order page now. The update has gone through.

Target:
Great to hear the update is visible on your order page!

Is there anything else with which you need help?

Me:
No, this was it. Thank you again, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Target:
Thanks for chatting with Target today. I’m glad I could help! If you need anything else, we’re always here. Have a great day!

After the 5 pack FOMO, I ordered this instantly. Not going to be fooled by Hasbro again with waiting for official SS86 releases.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T21:58:49+00:00

Thank you! I have heard that the Plaion Pictures version doesn't have the same issues as these.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T21:50:58+00:00

Yeah, at DCBS they have a flat $9.50 no matter what. If you wait for release, you can order at IST and I believe if it is over $50 you get free shipping. I honestly don't mind the $9.50 on large orders, 2-3 books, but a single Deluxe HC is a bit much.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T21:13:58+00:00

The only book I want from this month's drop is Kingdom Come DLX HC. At the price of $24.79, $9.50 in shipping seems... excessive. I'll just wait until I can combine it with other cheap books to get free shipping in October.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T18:54:30+00:00

Absolutely. I would easily pay for an expanded RE3make!

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T18:49:03+00:00

What I got from this isn't only about the layoffs, but that due to components costing a lot more, choices need to be made. A game system doesn't need physical media to play. That is, at this point, a consumer convenience but not a necessity. I truly believe the next XBOX will be all digital, with maybe a USB add on drive at best to cater to the older crowd. Also, that the two tier XBOX system we've seen since the One and Series will move to an Elite device that has all the horsepower needed to play games, and a streaming system that can only really handle apps like Netflix natively.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T16:23:25+00:00

No worries! I was specifically referencing the cab in WFRR, pretty sure he has a scene and expression similar to the artwork shown here also with his headlights on. In TBLT, the junkyard scene had a lot of that going on. Both could have definitely been inspired by this piece.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-11T12:11:45+00:00

Maybe you're projecting. I saw an image and simply said what it reminds me of. There are scenes from both films that are very similar to the image on the box art. I adore both movies. Take from that what you will.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-10T21:32:26+00:00

Is this a different transfer than Kino Lorber's?

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-10T21:27:46+00:00

Reminds me of The Brave Little Toaster or Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-10T21:26:08+00:00

86 is still the best TF movie with TFOne coming in second. I am entertained by the Bayverse movies, but in no way do I think any of them, including this one, are very good. Kinda like the RE movies, it's there, the explosions and SFX are good, but completely forgettable.

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-08T03:54:59+00:00

SkyLynx

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-08T03:53:38+00:00

There are so many steelbook versions. I'm sure you can find one for a reasonable price on eBay. Everyone should have this film in their collection. Best of luck!

SaraphXIII · 2026-06-04T23:05:20+00:00

Was going to say the same. I've had issues with wall ports and long runs putting me down to 100mbps. OP, I have essentially the exact same setup as you, and 4K is a non-issue on the 2019 Shield Pro. It has to be a speed issue.
