Hello fellow Ohioan! I'd say you're lucky. My area only has wave 1 and ROTF rejects. Except for my local Kohl's oddly, which has wave 2 HFTD deluxes and PCC 2 packs, but that's about all.

yeah my local kmart just got WFC Megatron and Darkmount like two three weeks ago and i've had to succumb to the devil that is ebay for megs soundwave and blurr..then next week its red alert and dirge since it takes FOREVER for anything new like RTS to show up here

Well, I haven't been to my only local Kmart in two or three years maybe, but last time I was there they didn't have much, but maybe I should check back again.
But with Generations it is very hard to find post wave 1 stuff. There's no way I'm going for ebay though. I guess I'll wait to see if anything shows up. I really want Blurr and Dirge, though.

Any reason why you guys don't buy them online from ToysRUs.com, Target.com, HasbroToyShop.com, or sites like BBTS.com, TFsource.com, etc?

Do you guys participate in the Toy Sightings forum to find out where other fans are finding them in your area? If anyone went to the Kmart where I found these, they wouldn't find a whole lot of new stuff other than Battle Blades Optimus Prime so if they didn't visit Seibertron.com, they wouldn't know that that store had 8 brand spankin' new figures earlier this morning in stock before I cleared them out.

Thanks! I forgot to check the Toys R Us site. I don't think Target had anything last time but I'll check. Hasbro is pretty much sold out of the popular stuff like Blurr and Dirge.
I do usually check the sightings forum, but I believe I am the only one in my county that contributes, and there aren't even any stores in my area in the store listings, so I usually have to go around once a week to all the stores myself.

I tend to make the majority of my purchases online. My most trusted supplier is BBTS but I tend to use HasbroToyShop.com and ebay from time to time. I've pretty much got two of each preordered at BBTS but I wanted to see if I could find them in the wild to spend a little less than 16.99 online for a deluxe. They're usually the first ones in getting the newer Waves in stock before retail release but this time it's the other way around. Of all TF Waves too Regardless, online shopping seems to be the only option for me right now since I just came from K Mart empty-handed

Also, the Toy Sightings forum is very useful. I try to participate in it whenever I
can to help out other members find what they're looking for. But very few members participate in it from my perspective.

Anyone want to hook me up with Jazz? I can pay-pal you the cash. He's the only one I cannot find.

Just got back from two K-marts and a Walgreens (in addition to three Targets and a TRU) and found absolutely bupkis as far as Reveal The Shield goes. Also still haven't found Generations Blurr or Dirge.

I'm sorry, but the act of posting pictures of "clearing out" new figs, and turning around and openly stating they do not contribute to sightings threads is a dick move. I believe that's a whole case worth of figs. I dont plan to buy RtS, but if I did, I'd be pissed that this guy lives near me and would take a picture of and post said "fan" looting the aisle. Scalpers need to be exposed for not only the good of the fandom, but also to stop the retailers from allowing them to profit from bad form. It's in their right to scalp, but they should be stigmatized by all who join forums such as these. By buying from these guys on ebay, the fandom expresses their approval of this heinous act. You sir, should be ashamed.

Let's see.. Between late last night and early this morn I have been to.....

6 Walgreens in the NO area.. Nada.
2 Kmarts.. Nada
6 Wal Marts.. Nada
2 TRU's.. Nada
2 Targets.. Nada

I tire of this...

I did read that a fellow louisianian found Jazz in Baton Rouge though (too far a drive for me right now)..

Same here I had to go way out of the way to get Soundwave and Red Alert, and have not seen even a hint of Wave 4 or 5 anywhere.



HOWEVER, I did find and buy Jazz at the Walgreens in Alabaster, AL. I found Fallback as well. No more Jazz-mine was the last one, but Fallback should be there.

Jazz is an amazing figure, but the speakers won't allow his doors to close all the way.

the doors close they just have to be a very certain way

I know Jazz has his speaker mode/attachments, I read that Tracks has the wing deployment in vehicle mode but I'll have to look that up. Anything else I should really watch for that's most likely not documented in the instructions?

Jazz's speakers and all three of Track's weapons have the little Lego-man-hand looking hooks that Straxus' armaments have. Also Jazz's gun has two posts on the sides that you can attach the speakers to. I think that's featured in the instructions though.

EDIT: Oh, and of course Tracks has his pseudo-Wheeljack robot mode.

Found them here on Thursday in Colorado Springs. Went to check to make sure they'd still have some Boo Berry Fallen for Black Friday and there they were. Got all sad because I didn't see Jazz until my wife pointed out where the last one had fallen on the floor from someone knocking it off the rack.
