The new figure rush makes me miss being a student. When the lines for movies 1 and 2 came out I was still in law school and could go hit stores right when they opened on release day. Now I'm so busy I couldn't go at all yesterday and today just had to make a quick run to WM during lunch. I should've just come up with some excuse to take the day off.

You don't have much to worry about. Most stores didn't even have the figures out on release day. You almost had to beg an employee to go get them from the back from what others have said. Good stores will have the stuff out and on time, I used to work retail so my stuff was always like that.

The Superwalmart in Milledgeville, GA is lined with Voyager Megatrons, Ironhides, and Primes...No sign of shockwave however. I noticed the most common deluxe figures were bumblebee and the two race cars. I managed to get the one and only Crankcase on the shelf, and Megatron on Monday.
Now all that is left for me to buy is Skyhammer and Shockwave, and I'll be finished with DOTM.

They are both nice figures. Was lucky to find the ones that I did. If I spot anymore of either I will let you know.

Nice, I found em at the Windward parkway wal Mart. They had 2 of each around 930 tonight. I left One Warpath and one Wheeljack. They also had 1 DOTM Shockwave and at least 1 Skyhammer, I already got them both. This wal mart closes at midnight. If anyone needs these figures I'd hurry over there asap or check your local walmart cause shockwave and skyhammer seem to be showing up more often. They also had 1 shockwave and 2 skyhammers at Mansell Wal MArt. They had none of the new deluxe Generations, (Wheeljack, warpath, or thundercracker).

Here's a pic of the generations figures at the Wal mart on windward Parkway in alpharetta. Like I said in my previous post there are no more Thundercrackers. they did have Blurr, Kup, And scourge, at least 1 of each.

Yep they are being shipped. It's alwways like this with the newest figures, except when they release an entire line like the movie line. They are always difficult to find at first. The main reason is collectors, and scalpers are always looking for the newest figures so they snatch em up on sight. So once the die hard collectors, and scalpers, get their fill they will usually begin to show up more frequently. BTW, I believe the case assortment for this wave is as follows:
Sergeant Kup X 1
Scourge x 1
Thundercracker x 2
Warpath x 2
Wheeljack x 2

In my experience if they have been spotted at 1 wal mart the other stores in the area seem to recieve the same shipments so they should be out there. Just keep looking And always be sure to check all the aisle endcaps too.

Yeah both Walmarts in Athens have had them, but gone the next.

Nope, Haven't seen a one. I am looking. I imagine they'll pop up sooner or later. My advice would be to check stores out of the norm, like drugstores, fry's, Kohl's, and any other retail outlet that sells tfs that you might not normally look for them at. BTW I went to the Fry's in alpharetta the other day, last Thursday I think, and they had the last wave of Rts Figures, G2 Prime, Bumblebee, Perceptor and 1 Wreck Gar. They had a ton of the Voyager figures, at least 10, but no Grapples or Lugnuts. There is no fry's in the Store sightings here so I couldn't post them, just forgot to mention it.

I grabbed my Lugnut and Grappel via BBTS. Only thing i've seen non DOTM was T-cracker, warpath, and wheeljack.

That would be my handy work for one of those Wal-Marts since I snagged a Warpath, Kup and Scourge there recently. I wanted a Wheeljack too, but I ran out of money. :KREMZEEK:

A week or so ago Lexington Wally had one of those new Powerglide's. I hear they're a little hard to find, so I figured I'd pass that along. They also had a pair of Thundercracker's, Wheeljack's and a single Warpath once I got done there.
