But was this recent? I find the distribution of this line quite puzzling and interesting.

My local toys r us has the entire set of Generations Wave 7 except for Autobot Skids.

The wallmart next door to this very same toysrus has most of Wave 5 (the orion Pax line).

The local Target however has loads of Trail Cutter and Wave 7 (Hoist and Thundercracker).

I have never seen anything from Wave 8 in any main retail store in the Montreal area of Canada so far to the point that I wonder if they were ever stocked.

If there are any fellow Quebecers, confirmation would be nice.

Have you guys seen any similar patterns in the states?

Also, the deluxe price in Canada is 16.79$ (15:32 US)

No it wasn't recent. I bought that Skids about 30DEC. I was very lucky as it was the only one and a guy standing beside me said "aw man!" when I picked it up

I got this wave right before Christmas, and it was the only time I've ever seen them. I'm glad people are getting another shot at them, because Skids for sure and Waspinator as well are good figures.

I found 3 Skids at my local Walmart (thanks to a certain somebody) and I decided to simply put one up on ebay at starting bid of 0.99$ like that people can decide whatever price they want and they dont have to settle for the insane buy it now prices.

I have another for myself that I opened to take a look at what the hype was all about and I do not find it to be a great toy. He's bulky for a generations toy, the spring loaded mechanism is not amazing and the car panels do not snap tight in alt mode.
But he is an intersting reinterpretation of a classic character and he doesnt turn into an uncool minivan this time.
I have another that I was going to keep in a box but if anyone wants him, feel free to PM me with an offer. The shipping would be the same as my ebay policy: free
