Well I'm gonna be real optimistic.

Look on the bright side, when the DVD comes out you can have a fresh 08 bumblebee in stores at the same time.

That's actually a good way of thinking about it...sorta having your cake and eating it too. The only thing to deal with is the wait.

haha. nice avatar. it reminds me of a beatmix BB.... i can stare at it forever .

Hehe...thanks. That whole thing about wave 3 (08 BB and Arcee are wave 3, right?) coming out on October is kinda iffy for me...I'm not sure if I can wait that long. Maybe there should be a whole support system for those who can't take the long wait.

[ultra tron]

For me it's not the fact that I can't wait, but the fact that we have no clue or real info about what the holdup could be.

If the hit in october, I wont have the time to run by walmarts and targets. Summer is really the best time I have to get these guys..i'll find a way I guess, but I love how they wait for the hype to die down then release the waves

All my stores have been dry for 3 weeks now. I went to my local Target today and they were stocked with...

4 Robot Replicas: 2 Bumblebees, 1 Barricade, 1 Megatron. I thought about buying 'em but thought, "Nah...I should save my money."

Sucks to be in southern California.

I thought about buying 'em but thought, "Nah...I should save my money."

That's what I did with the whole damn movie line, and now I have 3 bills just sitting aside waiting for Classics 2.0, remaining Titaniums, future Robot Heroes, and Animated.

There were 4 kids restocking the toy isles at Target this afternoon with quite a few Hasbro boxes in their midst. I talked to one of them and he says they have "a ton of boxes of Transformers in the back" but they won't be restocking them for another week or so. Looks like this stuff will be rolling out at the end of the reset.

Called my Target yesterday, and they said they just got a shipment of TFs but they won't be on the shelf for a couple more days. Here's to hoping!

[jacksonspade]

At a Target in Minnesota I found Ultimate Bumblebee (Sitting proudly on my shelf) They also had the Real Gear, all the Robot Replicas and Titanium Rodimus and a new Titanium Optimus.

Does anyone know about the Target Exclusive Movie G1 Repaints I've seen on Ebay?

Jazz and Starscream are Target exclusives.
Rescue Ratchet (yes, that's his name...), and Thundercracker are general releases.

The exclusives are due later this fall, Oct/Nov time frame.

[saintsfan1983]

I Live in the boonies, the closest Target is about 40 miles away from me. So I quit checking there. We have a super wal-mart in my town, It closes from midnight to 6 am. Thanks to said wal-mart, I usually do my TF shopping online. But I will be damned if I pay Ebay prices for Bumblebee. I haven't found any deluxes since 2 weeks after June the 2nd. So once I hear about everyone saying "OMG go to Target, Bumblebees out the butt" I will go. But I give up checking for now.

Now would be a good time to start looking at TRU and Target my friends.

[Hyper-Chicken]

Don't forget about WalMart. This morning I ran across 2-3 cases of the newest deluxe wave. Multiples of Final Battle Jazz, Longarm, Payload, Dreadwing, Arcee and Concept BB were hanging from the pegs.

No Chicago love? Has anyone found anything in Chicago lately?

[Sportimus Prime]

I loathe the Bay Area. Still nothing but bare pegs. Saw 1 Megatron that was the small, not transforming kind, and Real Gear thing, that's it. LOTS of Optimash Primes.

plus it being scalper central out here doesn't help things either.
What part of the bay area you from?
I live in the South Bay

Tons of Chicago love my fellow Chicagoan!! These news reports are coming directly out of Chicago today, as are the pictures of the new stuff that's on the homepage.

I hope the people who've been wasting their time with conspiracy theories, bad mouthing Hasbro and the retailers as well as extremely over-exaggerating the "scalper" phenomenon take point about what I've been trying to point out to all of you in this thread. The figures were on their way and you'll know when they officially arrive. Today is that very day. Now's when you should be going out to the stores. If the figures are all gone by the time you go this weekend or if you wait until payday on the 15th, then that's your fault ... not Hasbro's, not the process, not the imaginary scalpers. The figures are out. If you want 'em, go to your local Toys R Us and ask them about the figures if you don't see them on the shelves. Have them look them up in their computer system. There's a smart way to look for new figures and then there's the not-so-smart way.

Best of luck to everyone who goes on the hunt today!
