I hope so.

Store exclusive repaints perhaps?

This is inevitable, yeah? I'd like to see it continue with new releases.
Or, what ever the next Generations line is, it would be great to see 1 or 2 combiner teams per year. Hasbro now has the tech. 2016 we get classic style Dinobots pitted againt some monstrous combiner like Predaking, Monstructor, or Abominus.

You know, I don't think we've ever gotten any store exclusive Hasbro Generations toys (outside of the GDO ones coming to TRU, that is, but those were Hasbro Asia toys). All exclusive Generations toys have thus far been either convention exclusives, online exclusives, or Asian market exclusives.

Have all the Gen. exclusives been re-purposed molds? There has never been an original mold exclusive, has there?
I wonder if this "Devy" would be a shared exclusive.

Well, the SDCC version of Bruticus did come out before the retail version, so that could be seen as five exclusive molds that later got redecoed (and later remolded) for retail.

And, IIRC, the SDCC version of Metroplex came out before the retail version, so that might also sorta count.

If you don't mind, are you out east?

Yeah, I'm in Schenectady NY area.

So I missed out on a set the other day, and a buddy just texted me that he found another set today at the same store. Sadly before he could grab me a set someone else took it, so as of now I'm still without Combiner parts.

HA! I thought Schenectady was a fictional city that only existed in old jazz songs. Just kidding.
Don't worry they'll come your way. Things are always slow to restock after the holidays. If it makes you feel any better, we are all waiting here in the middle west. We're always the last to get anything.

I knew of Schenectady NY, because it was used for a pun in the title of the movie Synecdoche, New York.

Sweet - I fly back from vacation today (at the airport now) and look forward to checking my New York area stores tomorrow/Friday/the weekend.

I knew it was real. Now Saskatoon, I don't believe that's real for one minute. :lol:

Has anyone heard of these new CORN-biner Warz? :grin:

We've had these in the Mid west for a while now.

Finally got my hands on the other Aerialbots. They're good little figures individually, I like them. Like Silverbolt, the Deluxes look great in robot mode. They're good in alt modes but there's no effort to hide their bodies underneath. However, this is perfectly understandable considering they need the flexibility to become limbs.

I've so far got a one-armed Superion, and my word is he looking fantastic so far. I really love the way these guys combine and how sturdy he is. Hasbro have done a great job here. I like having Alpha Bravo as one of the arms and the other 2 jets as the legs. Looks superb so far and I cannot wait for Air Raid to complete the set.

Anyone know when exactly that both Leader-class Megatrons are coming out exactly for this line? First wave of 2015 is all I could find, but is there anything more exact? Thanks!

Nope, nothing more exact than that at the moment.

Thanks anyways then. I'll go back to haunting the board.

The Combiner Wars Voyagers and Deluxes have been spotted at retail, and now users Goggle Convoy and Reluctantyouth have just spotted Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Legends at Toysrus. Goggle Convoy spotted his at TRU in Raleigh, NC, while Reluctantyouth found them at Peoria, Il, and even provided some pictures. These legends figures are priced at 9.99$ US.

The planets aligned so that this news sighting would come just in time for you to check out these figures in our high definition galleries!

I have also found them at a ToysRUs in Southern Illinois. Thundercracker, Powerglide, Bombshell, and Windcharger.

God, as awesome as this is, I know for a fact these will never hit my local Toys "R" Us anytime soon. They're still stocking the first wave of Fall of Cybertron Legends two-packs. :BANG_HEAD:

Surely, the Targets and Walmarts in your area have better stock, no?

The local Walmarts are just now stocking Shrapnel. Target is really my only hope at this point.
