Really hope HTS gets him in stock soon. It'll probably be my only chance getting a Shocky.

But if it turns out FoC or DotM Shockwave can properly wield him, I'm SO buying this guy.

Oh, no, I've got three within a thirty mile radius. But all three are pretty damn unreliable. I do have a Target and Toys "R" Us I can go to, but Target is pretty hit-or-miss (thankfully it's a 65:35 chance that I find something worth while) with their Transformers, and TRU is a mix of slightly unreliable and overpriced.

I feel your pain brother. I've got one walmart close to where I live, no targets, no tru. And its got optimus prime and silverbolt, a ton of them. Never got a single figure after wave one.

I agree, this is basically where brick'n'mortar stores are at for us; fortunately, target hit is outta the park with wave 4, and my walmart has bcop and (I presume) the fixed mm's in stock along with a slew of wave 4. Guess they finally realized that, in order to sell tf's, one must first stock tf's

He came in a two pack with a cybertron mode Megatron. Those are the only animated figures I have.

Would've made a cool Nemesis Prime, shame that design never had two axles in the back of the truck mode.

Or maybe I'll just buy 2 and pretend that Shockwave cloned himself (only logical thing to do) and that Bruticus is just super badass and Is just a beast

I love to see more insecticons.
It'd be a good repaint for Bombshell into Barrage and the eventual Kickback into a Ransack aswell... sadly no Cicada based mold for venom to piggy back onto.
I say the kickback mold because we all know it's going to happen eventually.
If it doesn't I will be majorly pissed. Takara FOC kickback looks so out of place as a spot-filler.

Yeah, bbts hasn't even got a pre-order up for fracture, but hts has them in stock already... nothing about their distribution makes any sense anymore - the one thing that always seemed to stay the same was that hts got 'em last , same goes for the legends figures, maybe they wanted to push them for the holidays, or something? Doesn't matter it's an infinitely better deal than anything through bbts or the like

I see a ven diagram in my head of which kinds of fans order from which places, but I am too tired now. The point is as long as you are happy, no need to diss other retailers.

BBTS was never about the price. They are there because some collectors dont want to worry about getting their figure. Some dont check this site every day anyways and if they check it a week from today then this news wont help them. BBTS is there so that you can avoid the distribution hassle, get help if there is anything wrong with your figure and for some ensure that the box has a particular grade.

Well, it's more the issue of them raising prices for figures like shockwave, because he is more sought after, they increase his price by $3, same goes for onslaught, $32 and he still sold out;
I don't know if this was to offset the fact that buzzsaw and pipes and (not)scattershot might shelfwarm, but, by that logic, then they could lower their (pipes, et al) by a similar amount to encourage people to buy them too (I would definitely consider tossing pipes in my p.o.l. if he were $7 (-$3 for shockwaves +$3 if this is the case)); or if this is a case of extorting money for a figure that people want, but, if this is the case, it's not cool, and I have every right to not only not buy it through them, but to also diss it. If both of these aren't the case, then I'm not sure what it is.
I think the bottom line is: tf distribution is total chaos, and plays by no ones rules

Dude its fine, I was writing in general, not targeting you specifically. No one did anything wrong here, I just wanted to remind people that the retailers compliment each other to ensure that we get our toys no matter what

I think this is precisely why they up the price. Eesh, that 32$ is pretty darn steep. And I think you have a damn fine idea there. If something is raised, why not lower the other? It would be cool to see how the MSRP could be deviated from in both directions.

I mean, come on... $33 for onslaught, why not sell scattershot for $7 then, bet he would fly off their virtual shelves then - I'd buy it, and I hate the idea of him... I don't want to, or like dissing them, they have great customer service and fulfill an important role for us, but stuff like this => http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24821&mode=retail bugs the sh!t outta me - hotspot is still $30 there

Well, this happens with every wave, some of the wave are uploaded, some aren't until later. If clampdown shows up, I'll get him, underbite, and thunderhoof (assuming there aren't two order pages up for him at that time )
And being completely fair about tf retailers, tfsource doesn't even stock or sell the rid figures, so there's that for limiting options

Nope, there used to be many moons ago, but it's long been dead.
Now the hasbro site just tells you in which stores you can (not) find their toys.
