My LCS got in their first shipment of wave 2 figures, but they only have enough figures for customers who preordered.

They received wave 1 a few weeks after they started showing up in stores. They received the wave 2 voyagers about 3 weeks before the first store spotting.

Long story short is that based upon previous shipment correlations, wave 2 should be popping up any time now.

Success! Around 6:00 tonight, Walmart in Addison had a single each of the comic Dragstrip, Breakdown, and Dead End. I left Dragstrip. They're coming out, be aware!

I hit C2E2 this weekend. As usual, there was no transformers toys or comics news. I did see a vendor with the new Star Saber Masterpiece figure for about $195.

Also for all you Western burbs folks, I found out that Chimera comics will be opening a new store in Woodridge at 75th and Lemont Rd, next to the movie theater.

Just combed the peoria area for combiner wars stuff. Both peoria walmarts have some wave 2 limbs but no motormaster and no dead end at either one. Peoria ToysRus looked freshly stocked with wave one stuff, had some of everything from wave 1 along with leader megatrons. Peoria Target has some wave 1 limbs and maybe a silverbolt I think.

East peoria walmart and and target were bone dry, they might have had some leader megatrons but I didnt really pay attention to them.

Pekin walmart and kmart are desolate. They havent restocked for at least a month.

This is awesome news for me (even though I already knew), Chimera's in Lagrange is where I usually go for comics, but it's convenient that when I 'm going to the hollywood boulevard movie theater I can stop and grab some comics. ;)

Earlier this morning (Friday), Mount Prospect Walmart had 2 Megatrons and 2 Armada Megatrons in stock plus a bunch of Voyager Optimus Primes and Silverbolts plus wave 1 and wave 2 of the Robots In Disguise One-Steps (including Fixit). Go get 'em!

Yorktown Mall Target had the new CW Legends this morning! I grabbed one each Groovs, Warpath, and Viper, still a couple Vipers left.

The TF section also seemed to be cleaned up, seems to be some empty space, maybe for CW Deluxe Wave 3?

Just found this thread. As of Yesterday, Niles Target off Touhy was well stocked with Wave 3 legends. I just picked up a Groove, but probably 2 of each were remaining.

That's my Target ... I checked earlier late this morning and they were all gone already! Bummer. Good news that they're on the way from BBTS though.

Wow that is a bit impressive, since I was there fairly late afternoon yesterday. Now that I know this thread exists, I will try to keep it updated with anything I find. I think its pretty cool the owner of the site is in my area.

I didn't even realize BBTS had pre-orders up for him yet. My distributor for the Seibertron Store said they wouldn't be shipping until late June (around BotCon time). I'm really surprised BBTS got a shipment in this early, as well as Diamond Distributors apparently.
