Darkmount
Skullgrin
Blurr
Drift
Mindset
Fallback
Thunderwing
All 4 WFC figures
Thrust
Dirge

Some are getting harder to find but if you hunt, all are still available in one place or another. Try Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart. Thrust, Blurr, and Drift might be gone by March.

Thanks for the info: this is exactly what I wanted to know! I'll be visiting the whole east coast of Florida and I always make sure to stop by Walmarts, Targets and TRU along the way. I'd like to find Blurr and Dirge, but I'd mostly be after the more recent waves like Wreck-Gar, Perceptor and Thunderwing.

In Norhern NJ here and no luck yet. I've got 3 Walmarts, 2 Walgreens, 2 Targets and a Toys R Us all between 5 and 25 minutes away so I check pretty often when something like this is going on.

If what WheelJack35 posted at the top is correct I should be seeing something by the end of the week.

Also the list posted above as to what is available where the poster lives, pretty much goes for my area as well. Seeing less and less WFC but the rest is pretty abundant aside from Jazz and Tracks. I found them in Walgreens, they were the last two and they weren't there the day before , never saw them anywhere else before or after that. Blurr has also been very hard to come by. Another one I got and it was the last one where everything else was fully stocked.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, so I apologize if they have. After just recently watching the episode "War Dawn," it wouldn't surprise me if Kup was repainted, given a new head, and re-released as Dion. This toy looks a LOT like Dion in both modes...

So could anyone tell me what I'll be able to find in stores at that time? This wave, and perhaps wave 5? Or perhaps even earlier stuff? (And yes, I know I can expect Tuner Mudflap' s warming the shelves!)

Good luck to you. Hope you find everything you are looking for while in Florida.

That was talked about in another post somewhere but don't know if anyone mentioned that exact idea.
I was thinking something similar in that it could be a repaint of Orion Pax, Dion or if they really want to get their money's worth out of us, both! All though I would say Orion Pax would be more likely since we have had 2 Dion figures in the past and only 1 Orion Pax. Not including the replacement head that comes with the PP01 figures.

Since these was bought in Ca, i wonder how it will take to hit the Ohio region?? 2weeks or a month? anyone wanna take a stab at this.

This is awesome news. After seeing nothing past Wave 2 of Generations, my area (MI) exploded with new TFs. It seemed like the day after Xmas they put out everything I was looking for (Thunderwing, Tomahawk, Dirge, Bluur). I am still missing WFC Soundwave though. My area just got RTS Wave 1 in, and I haven't seen a Jazz yet But I'm hoping that as things keep coming out I'll be closer to getting Kup and Scourge. I'll finally have a proper Kup to join my psuedo-Wrecker team of Impactor (Energon Landmine) and Springer (Energon Bulkhead). Hopefully I can track down Perceptor in RTS as well...

That sounds about right. I'm in PA, and it's usually a few weeks after the first sightings on Seibertron.com that they start appearing in my Target.

...It is getting too difficult to keep track of these lines.

Yeah, I have to agree with you there , but at least we're getting plenty of great figures pretty fast right?

Yup we've got RtS, HFtD, TFA, PCC's and the tail end of RotF. Like Agent Simmons said, "Try to keep up with the acronyms".

Only thing that gets me is why they make any distinction as to the "Waves" they are coming out in. We've been seeing Blurr up here in the Pac. NW for nearly a month, WFC Cliffjumper since before X-mas and various other figures off and on in-between and never once have I seen them with any of the other figure that are supposed to be in the same wave. I can't even rely on "Wave whatever #" as a loose guideline. This really sucks considering I want to be on top of Thundercracker the second he hits the shelves but for all I know his blue arse is taking up space at my local Target right this second and I'm sitting here at home blissfully ignorant.

I think the Wave is more suited as an internal number for when Hasbro ships the figures rather than when they appear on shelves. Stores really don't have any control over how quickly they go through their previous stock (especially since we're still seeing RotF shelfwarmers floating around!).
