I'll keep my BBTS preorder instead. I really don't care for the way they sell KO's without any indication they aren't authentic.

I know it really doesn't matter seeing one of the guys behind SOA is part of Fansproject. (yhea, thats why they had a sample one on display a while back). But that's just the way I see it.

They just raised their price to $129.99 anyway. Yeah, I'll stick with BBTS. :lol:

Anyone know when HFTD Wave 2 Deluxe hits? I'm kinda itching to get my hands on Elita-1 to complete (for now) my movie collection.

Probably not for awhile, since we just started seeing Wave 1 recently.

I see. The thing is, though, according to the Previews that solicited things for this month, HFTD Wave 2 was among them, and I'm wondering whether or not they're coming out, since my LCS managed to get both Wave 1 and Wave 2 of Generations within a week.

Well, I have heard that Generations Wave 2 has started to show up at comic shops, but we're still just barely seeing a trickle of Wave 1 for both lines at general retail, and I have yet to hear any sightings of HFTD Wave 2. Will certainly post here if I do.

Thanks.

My local TRU doesn't have any more generations, but I did see HA Jazz (but for $50). 8-}

My local Wal-mart is also doing their fall reset and I saw generations on the planograms. So hopefully in the next week or 2 they will have full stock.

Scratch what I said the other day - LasSalle TRU has Generations Wave 1 in. I got the last Thrust, but there was one Drift and a bunch of Cybertronian Bees and Primes in.

8+ Grimlocks were just reported atLansdowne TRU in Richmond today. Also there are supposed to be 2 boxes of Generations deluxes. Anybody wanna bet they'll be all gone by the time I get there? :lol:

Luckily I'm not looking for Grimlock.

Bowmac TRU also just got the first sign of HFTD Wave 2 in the form of some Legends, but they are now sold out.

the bad news, even if I can get to a TRU with Grimmy, between the last 5 months of unemployment and needing money next weekend for PAX, i couldn't buy one anyways.

the good news, is I was hired last Friday, so I'll be catching up on PCC and a couple others quite shortly.

Ouch. Glad you were able to find a job though!

Well, by the time I got to Lansdowne at 5:50 there was not a single Grimmy in sight. I did manage to pick up Gen Thrust & Drift though, and there were 2 more of each plus a WFC Bee when I left, but I think the Thrusts are all gone now.

Also:

Cybertron.ca wrote:i dunno if anyone is looking for it but metro tru had 12 green legend devastators when i was there at around 7:30 pm, they were going for 39.99...

...LOUGHEED WAL-MART @ closing

- 40+ 2-Packs of Bumblebee vs Grindor, and Brawl vs Jolt
(located at the back aisle, quite a few aisles away from the other TFs) - $20.00

- 2 HFTD Ravages
- 2 Gen. Bumblebees
- 1 Drift
- 2 Thrusts
- Wave 1 HFTD scouts
- 1 Payload Voyager

Looks like WFC Prime is the surprise big seller? I would've thought the Thrusts would sell out quicker.

Awesome! Hopefully I can look forward to seeing them in BC very soon.

And hopefully the scalpers don't get them all.

I took me by complete surprise I can tell you that. I only knew cause I saw 1 Ironhide with all the Cyb. Ratchets. I thought the scalpers already got all the Rodimus'. When I was on my way to tell my hubby (we were doing a birthday shopping spree with my nieces) I passed by a bin in the isle and saw a hole bunch of them in there. Sneaky buggers lol! Can't believe they came here already and that I was lucky enough to catch them before the scalpers did.

Lucky indeed, and totally awesome. I've seen tons of Ratchets here but no Arcees because they all get bought up right away. But I wasn't really going on the days they were put out because I already got mine from a fellow Seibertronian long before they started showing up. Hopefully I'll get lucky with Rodimus!

Turns out Animated Rodimus & Ironhide were here in BC after all, and I missed them.

Friday they were sighted in multiple TRUs (Bowmac had like 3 cases), but of course by the next day they were all sold out, and I didn't receive any of my notifications due to recently switching over to Gmail... worst time of all for this to happen. *facepalm*

Anyway, judging by how Arcees are still showing up, they should be restocking.

Everyone interested may want to keep an eye open for Animated Rodimus and Ironhide at TRU's.

Found both at Metrotown earlier today.

Yep, there were at least 5 or 6 when I was there around 7 pm.

Were you at the Metropolis event? I think I saw you.

Oh, okay, someone else that looked familiar then. XD

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 8:49 pm

Rodimus and Ironhide are out in force! If you still haven't found them, head to Bowmac, they were just reported to have 20+ of each. Almost sounds too good to be true.
