I just grabbed both ladies at Walmart in Augusta, ME!!

Sigh, I'd like that Canada would not be 4 months late over the USA for once. The Windblade wave barely appeared on the shelves recently...

i got mine off of target pegs almost three months ago now.

Well, Quebec then. Quebec is fawken latre on the Generations figures.

Not as bad ad TF Prime deluxes wave 2, but still.............

that sucks. it was the beginning of target becoming useful. since then ive seen skybyte and roadbuster (for the first time, and only time so far).

I haven't seen Skybyte at all. I saw a single Roadbuster, but the box was too beat up for me to want to pick him up.

Apparently Ryan/Seibertron saw both voyagers in my area around October, but I was out of the country for work... so that sucks.

I just hope Combiner Wars happens alongside restocks of some of the Q4 2014 releases, instead of replacing them entirely.

odd... i dont have roadbuster either even though i found one. he had some black paint blemishes on the chest, so i passed. havent seen another since.

Eh, NYC is odd for collecting in general. Either the new waves come early and flood everything, or you don't seen anything for new waves because the aforementioned flood is still hogging peg space.

I'll end up seeing Roadbuster/Skybyte/Acid Storm/Gears eventually, it may just be another month or two.

Currently, over here, it's Walmart who have the edge with the latest Gen wave. Target IS the one who is a ghost town, with about ZERO deluxes of any lines on the shelves. I asked an employee who was restocking some shelves if they planned to restock on TF. As expected, he hadn't a clue and didnt give a fawk.

I also never saw Skybite on any shelves ever, despite finding Roadbuster.

Now that I have Windblade, I'm debating if I should buy Arcee and Chromia now or risk waiting 5 months for them to show up on my local store shelves.

Buying them from BBTS right now would ammount at CAN26.60$ for each figures, counting shipping and CAN/US $ conversion. If buying from the most expensive local store, TrU, at full price with taxes, it would be 19.55$CAN. Not much of an issue if that wave pull a PRime Deluxe Wave 2 on us, but I'd be pissed if the Arcee wave hit the local stores next month... especially if the figures are on sale.

So, should I give in to impatience and lose money, or should I play the waiting game and risk missing out?

In my experience, every single time i wait, i miss out, and nearly every time i pay extra it pops up on the shelves. all i know is id rather pay an extra £5 now and see it on the shelves than wait, it never show up and you then have to pay an extra £40 after the scalpers have had their wicked way.

I'm waiting to buy them locally on sale (well, for chromia, I might buy arcee full price, she's the only one we have to worry about, Chromia is the equivalent of windblade in demand, I believe). They are already listed on walmart.ca's website (at 10$) so they are at least sure to show up there.

Also, my question before was regarding if Walmart would allow a price check with themselves. Showing them an item online that isnt in a competitor's flyer wont result in anything. But I was not sure if showing them a listing from their own site would make a difference.

I, too, always am the b!tch of Murphy's law.

It would be hilarious if someone made a chart of all the characters smarter than Rhinox in a single chart.

Hilarious and sad at the same time. At least his bio was better than Rattrap's which focused more on literal garbage than beast wars.

The bios have really taken a dive lately when compared to the ones from Universe 2.0. Ratchet's told a story of his relationship with Megatron, and how it framed his personality. Those were all really great. I don't feel like Hasbro's current copy writers are as good.

personally, the only figures i havent seen out of the generations line in any store are:
ruination (bruti retools), and legends SS and megs.

im confident ill eventually find arcee and chromia, but im keeping my BBTS preorders cause this is the instance where i dont feel like gambling and dont mind paying a premium. at least you get the comics you would otherwise miss at canadian retail.

Cheers for that man, its quite often my first port of call. Kapow stocks more, but getting the item delivered for some reason isnt always as smooth as it should be. Numerous figures have been lost so i tend to stick to amazon as much as possible but i didnt expect those 2 to be up there yet. So thanks again

Have you guys noticed that all the toys in the last Windblade wave shelf warm like crazy, except Windblade?

Where I am, Jhiaxus and Windblade shelfwarm... Crosscut and Nightbeat are no where to be found.

[fenrir72]

In my place at SEA, no Windblade but and sometimes Jhiaxus. Main TRU complete except Windblade.

I wouldnt cal it shelfwarming until they are still a plenty a wave later. But for now, Windblade is readily available:

[SkyWarpt]

Just got my BBTS Arcee and Chromia preorder through the mail!!! ...then wifey went all Mrs. Claus on me and wrapped them up Didn't even get to see them come out of the box!

That's adorable!

[mwanders4]

I was lucky enough to find both Chromia and Arcee at Walmart in Augusta, Maine last Friday. Arcee is closed fist! These were the only 2 in the store: no one wanted the female transformers for Xmas, so I lucked out. I also received my BBTS order with open fist Arcee. So, how rare is closed fist vs open fist Arcee?

I think that's a fair assessment about the wave later thing. I've just noticed several stores in my area with plenty of stuff from that wave, but maybe one or zero windblades and like a bazillion jhiaxuses, etc. it's interesting different areas have a different over abundance of certain toys.

The stores in my area are still clogged with Rattraps and Tankors. With the bio Hasbro gave Rattrap, it's like they wanted him sell horribly.

They didnt want to bring that smell of garbage home.

All this talk of store shelves makes me realize I don't really go looking for TFs at retail as much anymore...

It's robot garbage. There's a difference between piles of metal and piles of rotting, smelly garbage.
