yeah im goin with ya on this one. to hell with walmart and all the others, im goin on line shopping from now on.

I order online out of convinience and laziness, since the horror stories i've been hearing discourage an actual figure hunt.

Speaking of online shopping, isn't HTS basically buying straight from the source (aka Hasbro themselves)? How can the source of the product be out of their own product? It seems impossible, yet it's happening.

I'm still keeping to the conspiracy theroy that stores are purposefully coasting into the DOTM line on whatever they've got left sitting around from ROTF/HTFD.

Cause every1 goin 2 them @ the same time. U gotta think they not expecting ppl 2 come 2 them 1st, they are the last resort & with it being so thin or nothing every1 is using the last resort.

My problems are still he same, either the pegs are empty, there are 10 sea attack ravages and 2 cliffjumpers, or the prices are way to high and they just have a bunch of old stuff. Also every time i get a tip that HTS is "stocked" again either i get there to late or the stuff goes out of stock as im making the order. Next time my friends and i go hunting we're going to take pictures and send them directly to hasbro and the stores corporate offices, hopefully if the entire fandom does this things will be put back on track. Plus ill post them here so you can all feel our pain. Also look at the the other hasbro lines in the stores (GIJOE,Star Wars,Marvel) i bet they're empty as well. All the sotes around here either have no GIJOE stuff or there are only 2 figures.

I don't know where I read it, but I was under the assumption that the movie, RTS, and Generations lines would run concurrently. Is it at all possible we are jumping the gun on cancellation rumors? Shouldn't we wait for the movie line to be released and see what else is on the shelf/pegs adjacent? I mean if it's all DOTM stuff, then I say pitchforks and torches... until then, what's another two - three weeks?



I mean logically speaking, everything clogging shelves right now, namely ROTF/HFTD figures, can be sent to Ross's, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx easily, correct?

@ Megatron Wolf u don't even have Jazz or Tracks where u r @?

SE Wisconsin has been terrible. Racine Walmart just got Kup and Scourge in the last week. I've only seen Jazz in Walgreens. Tracks at Walgreens and Kohls. The K-marts here still have leader class Animated figures. A Kenosha K-Mart still has the red and white Ratchet repaint from the 2007 movie. Throw in all the Tuner Mudflaps clogging pegs at multiple stores...just a bad situation. Even went down to Gurnee, Illinois a few weeks ago and same situation. Only ever found the 2nd wave PCC commanders at Kohls around Christmas, with no sign of wave 4 anywhere.

It is really bad in Ireland, before Christmas, we got wave one of RTS and the first two waves of Generations. 4 months later and the shelves are full of Mindsets, Darkmounts and wave 2 of Power Core Combiners.

I could buy online (I want scourge) but the prices on Amazon plus delivery would mean I would pay double and I don't want to get ripped off

I was just at target earlier to do some TF hunting and the only 2 deluxe figures left were RTS Bumblebee and Hunt for the Decepticons Hailstorm! I wish I had taken a picture of it to show you guys. Seriously this is SAD.
I've had to result to ebay to get a hold of Kup and I am waiting and WANTING scout class "Demolition Rumble"!!!! (aka we all know it's Frenzy because he's blue )
Hasbro, you have so many loyal fans, please push the retailers to get these toys out!!!!! Listen to us!!!

So far, I haven't purchased any RTS or Generations stuff from Hasbro toy shop or at a local retailer. Everything I have purchased (Wheeljack, Jazz, Wreck-Gar, G2 Prime, Scourge, Cliffjumper, Blurr, Kup, tracks etc. etc. ect. ect.) has all been from TFsource and BBTS. They've been more instock with the new stuff than hasbro apparently has >.< ridiculous.

To be fair, I've seen one blurr and two cliffjumpers at a toys r us one time in the past 5 months lol............................ but even in all of THAT HUGE SHELF STOCKING never any RTS voyagers ...
and even everywhere I look online they're out of stock or for like $30 ... I will NEVER pay $30 for a voyager... ever in my life ... so I've been holding out ..

meh ..
