I'm completely shocked. I still haven't found anything beyond a few of Wave 3, and I only found those at one store. Everywhere else still has Generations Wave 1. And since when does WMNM have toys?

Hell, no one will restock wave 1!! ROTF Tuner Mudflap is plentiful though.
And where's the pic of Deep Dive?

Nah, New Hampshire usually gets new stuff 2 or 3 months after everyone else. For example, the Animated Arcee didn't appear for months and I was left staring at the growing sighting list for everywhere else but here.
It's great that Jazz is out though. Guess I better start looking for that as well as Blurr.

Amelie: Nothing, sadly.
JelZe: A flying car? That's crazy talk (Yes, it's in the manual)!

Yeah, tell me about it! Florida is always the last place to get anything. I wasn't expecting these guys for another month, at least. You're right that it's probably a record.

Blurr & Dirge have been out for a few weeks now. I'm sure they'll make there way west shortly if they haven't already.
Hey tpy ninja, hows' about you smoke bomb us a couple of shots of the bios on the back of the cards?
I'm also REALLY liking Deep Dive. But then again, I love sexpaints.

I still haven't even seen wave 3 of generations yet. I bet they will probably be in my area soon, but still.
Great to hear that the new waves are out. Guess that means that BBTS will be getting their stock in soon. Jazz and Thunderwing are my Christmas gifts this year
One more thing, what waves are coming in Dec?

Canada should be getting RTS Wave 1 & Wave 5 of Generations. Most likely RTS Legends & Scouts too. Which is welcomed because I'm a whore for both. I think we should see a new wave of PCCs too.
US releases for December should be Solar Storm Grapple, Lugnut, Strafe and most likely the Rodimus/Cyclonus 2 pack.

There was one case. There was definitely a Turbo Tracks left, but I dunno about Jazz. I really had to dig - literally - to find mine. That toy aisle was a disaster area.
And thinking about it again, I left in such a hurry... that I forgot to pick up a couple toys I accidentally dropped on the floor in my excitement over Jazz and Tracks What a dick move on my part.

Thanks for the heads up, the only time I've checked one of those stores I found nothing. I hit the same store tonight on my way home from work about 11:35pm. I got the only Jazz and Tracks left and Jazz was buried. I left Mindset and Fallback behind.
Posted by Deathy-tigermegatron on November 18th, 2010 @ 11:11pm CST
here's hoping I find them soon.

Holy amazing find! I wasn't expecting these at least until December. I bet we still won't see them until the new year in my area...
How does Jazz look? Can you confirm if he got his paint apps on the legs?

Gainesville was the last place in Florida to get anything while I lived there. Good going!

That's what I was thinking, too. Here's a picture of Jazz. Does it help?

Previous pics had them all without any paint apps.

Enjoy RTS while price is still good. Upgrade later (:

See, Classics vs Henkei really set me up to be on guard for this go-round of new Classics characters.
I really defended Classics until time after time I saw how the Henkei versions (almost) always had truly better decos.
I know not everyone is willing to pay and that is fine, but the way I see it, I've waited 25 years for these toys. It's worth the premium price point.

QFT. I finally found Blurr, Dirge and Red Alert last week. Still not Straxus. I finally found Axor this morning, only to see that someone had beat me to it, and returned him and Rescue Ratchet with Sideswipe and Deluxe Ratchet, respectivly.
That's the 5th time in 2 months I have seen re-packed returns at that Walmart. Someone around Exton/West Chester is a reall douchebag.

Awesome, thanks! Yep, I was hoping the black section on his legs was all black, not half black half white like in the first prototype pics. That seems to be the case. Unfortunately I share CPs views on the paint apps, but less so on paying so much. It'll be a tough decision to make if I see him in store before we have a confirmation of the United version's paint job. Will definitely be snatching up Tracks at the earliest opportunity though.

Yeah, he is.
Anyway, one thing I forgot to mention about the catalog thing...it lists the Battle in Space set! Does this mean it's not any sort of exclusive at all?

Western PA isn't too far behind, but you pretty much have to visit the stores every day to snag one because they're very sparse. If you're looking for Straxus try looking in a Kohls. Every one I've been in is packed full of them.
