Is there anyone on here that can still my fears of my preOrder from TFSOURCE? I just want to make sure they've been know in the past to receive it and ship it within a year.

Lucius, I used TF Source to preorder CW deluxes and voyagers. They are a good outfit and their shipping is excellent. They care about getting you your stuff without it getting damaged. With that being said, they are a little slow. I think the staff is small and it takes a few days to process all of the orders when a new shipment comes in. They also process sales in the order they were placed / pre-ordered. So the earlier you placed your order, the quicker your order is processed. The other great thing about them is that if you use order stacking you can cancel a preorder with no consequences. if you have further questions, check out the FAQ on the site.

I hope this helps,

It sure does! I just wanted another voice on the subject. I've no previous experience with them is all. I preordered the next wave of CWs (voyager and deluxe) and I was just curious. Needless to say ANYTHING bought online can be sketchy. Thanks, Prime!

Hey--not sure if anyone else has seen him in Ohio yet, but there was a CW Motormaster at the Meijer in Lima this morning around 9:30 am, along with two CW Silverbolts.

Has anyone found any of the CW Protectobots?

No, they won't be released until April (if even possible) and are expected to see full release in June, according to Amazon's preorder date of June 15th. They're in hand in Asia, but none have shipped to the US as of yet.

Cool...thanks. What about CW Wave 2--Air Raid's wave? I'd heard they were starting to show up at Walmarts.

They are, the problem is they're not in the system yet. All stores will technically sell them to you, it's just a matter of finding a member of staff who will actually take the initiative and do it. I had to have them key them in by hand to get them sold to me. It took about 2-3 extra minutes, but I was a lucky one, some have been turned away and the figures have been pulled from the pegs.

It was explained to me that it's due to the changeover from bio cards to comics. They're the same series of toys, but the assortment numbers on the packaging are different and so are the UPCs, they're not sequential between the waves, just in the same wave. (For example Air Raid, Breakdown, Dead End and Offroad all have basically the same UPC and they're one number off from each other to differentiate. If you compare them to Wave 1, the last few digits are drastically different.)

In fact, Dragstrip with the comic is starting to show up at stores and he's not in the system, while Wave 1 Dragstrip with the bio card is and does sell just fine.

It's a very stupid system and causes a list of problems for customers.

Update again--I found Air Raid and all of the Wave 2 CW deluxe figures at the Walmart on Allentown in Lima. They don't have any of the leader or Voyager figures, though. And the local Toys R' Us doesn't have anything except for a few of the Wave 1 deluxes.

News Credits: 2 · Fri May 15, 2015 1:07 pm

I haven't be on here in a few months, however the Walmart by the Dayton mall has NO Transformers except AOE Voyagers and only 2 of them. No room or space for deluxes or Leader class figures.

On a side note, a fellow collector spotted Streetwise at Target in Huber Heights and its posted on http://www.tfw2005.com

Also, I'm looking Dead End to replace my current one, it has a stress mark right out of the package.

WOW! still NO movement on this thread yikes! Well got all the Protectobots, plus Groove and Viper and LC T-cracker over the weekend, so life is good...

Dude, there's been NOTHING up in the Lima area. Not that that's surprising, I suppose...I'm still waiting on Magnus and the Protectobots. Where'd you get your goods at down there?

Found the 6 inch Optimus Prime Robots in Disguise Titan at the Family Dollar in Delaware, Ohio. They had all four, but being an Optimus Prime collector I stuck to what I like best.

Grabbed the last CW Devy at TRU Lima. Aside from First Aid and Streetwise, no sign of any of the Protectobots or Ultra Magnus at any Walmart between Troy and Lima.

Three MP Bluestreaks at Parmatown TRU

Sun Aug 30, 2015 1:14 pm

If anyone's interested, the Gabe's in Toledo has $8 Generations Deluxes (Nightbeat, Jhiaxus, Mini-Con Assault Team) and a few $10 Voyagers (Whirl, Roadbuster, AoE Slog). Also, the TRU down the road from there had MP Bluestreak and a couple RID Stomp 'n' Chomp Grimlocks. There were also a couple CW Hot Spots, but I snagged one of them.

Finally saw some CW Combaticons! Deluxes only, at the Toys "R" Us in Toledo. Hopefully the rest will be showing up soon (and in other stores; the TRU prices for a Deluxe figure here are $4-5 more than everybody else).

Couple of days late on this, but I saw three of the CW Combaticons--Brawl, Swindle, and Blast Off--at the Meijer in Lima on Sunday morning.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Jan 29, 2016 10:22 am

Meijer in Troy had all four Combaticon limbs. No sign of Onslaught, but plenty of Cyclonus and Hot Spot.

Sun Feb 28, 2016 12:42 pm

I'm starting to see Sky Reign limbs in the Toledo area! Still no Onslaught though...

The TRU at the Miamisburg/Centerville exit on 75 had two each of Scourge, Blurr, and Skullsmasher, along with one Sentinel Prime. This was around 12:30 pm today.

Sat Jul 30, 2016 8:41 am

I found some TR TFs in the TRUs in upper OH! Just Deluxes, Voyagers, and Fort Max so far (plus a handful of Titan Masters, but there was only one of each and I bought them all). Still waiting on the Legends and Leaders.

I'm a little late with this, but TRU in Lima (as of a week ago) had Fort Max and all of the TR Deluxes in stock.
