No sign of Cyclonus, Hound, etc., though--anyone had luck finding these yet?

Won't start showing up on shelves in the U.S. until after December 1st, I believe. I think their actual street date is around the week before or of Christmas but I'm sure they'll show up at select stores around the country before then. I can't wait for this wave!

Ryan! Good to hear from you. I guess it makes sense that he won't be out until early December...although it'd be great if he's out before that.

Peace!

Anyone having any luck on the Target 2 Pack TFU 2.0? really wanting these guys...any help would be great.

P.S. Since i live around the dayton area, i have notice that the cincy seems to get the newer stuff quicker than dayton...

Kmart on Harding Highway in Lima had about 5 of the Universe Minicon 12-packs (and for you Iron Man collectors, the new Torpedo Armor, Satellite Armor, and Wing Armor variants from the movie line). Walmart on Harding Highway had one Treadbolt, which I snagged.

FYI to everyone, Target here in Dayton has the TFU 2 pack with Roadbuster & Dirge and Springer & Ratbat!! Already got both and they had 2 of each left and saw TFA 2 packs and Stealth lockdown!!! better hurry not many left!!!

Transform and roll out to Target!!!

Walmart in Bowling Green had two animated Shockwaves and three animated Skywarps--this was at 6:30 this evening. No UM's, surprisingly.

Heads up! just came back from Walmart off of 741 across from the dayton mall and they had 1 Treadbolt (top shelf in the very back left side) and 1 Stormcloud (bottom shelf behind Silverbolt) better get'em! the last time i went they had 3 Stormclouds and 1 was left and got him and really cool figure and better than Hasbro powerglide...

Walmart on Cable Road in Lima had one animated Ultra Magnus--seen about an hour ago.

Anyone finding the Wave 4 figures in cincy or dayton???

Well I've been to pretty much all the Dayton Suburbs stores such as Toys R Us, Wal-mart, Meijers, and Targets and I still can't find anything from Wave 4. We probably won't see them till after the holidays.

Also, I noticed that the Wave 4 figures aren't on any of stores websites.

**** I haven't even seen anything past the Galvatron wave here. And only the Swoop wave of Animated. Found an UM. Still no Shockwave.

I think I'm in the same boat as Jenus. I've called or checked the Walmarts in Lima, Findlay, Ottawa, Van Wert, Celina, Bellefontaine, Kenton, Sidney, and Piqua...no Universe Wave 4's. Ditto the TRU here in Lima, as well as in Beavercreek and in Fort Wayne.

To Jenus, TheMuffin and DoctorReggae, thanks for the reply and being on the watch for pretty much anything new with transformers! Even today i was at eastgate area by cincy and checked toysrus and walmart and target and nothing! very disappointing!! i guess after christmas it is collecting anything from the wave 4 release! damn it!!

No prob, Stockade. We're all pretty much in the same boat.

That said, someone over on TFW's Ohio sightings thread said that they found Universe Wave 4 at the TRU on Alexis Road in Toledo. I nearly kicked my computer for not finding that out earlier to make a trip up there.

Damn!! DoctorReggae, all the way in Toledo! Too far for me bro, but if there up there, i would say next week they will be down here in the dayton area!! and PM me anytime and like you said were all in this together!!!

I'm with you, Stock...that's exactly what I'm hoping for, especially since I'm only 70 miles north of you. The TRU here in Lima said that their truck got delayed, and that it'll arrive on Monday. I'll check them Tuesday, and if I find anything, I'll holla loud.

Hey Doc! After work yesterday, i checked at TRU and walmart by the dayton mall and still no luck! damn this is sucking bad and really dont want to drive 50 or 60 miles out of the way for something that might not be there. anyway, let me know what you find out.....

Same here, Stock. I checked the TRU here in Lima yesterday morning...they'd just gotten a truck in, but the only TF's they restocked were from the MOVIE line. The only peg they had for Universe deluxes was completely empty. I'll try 'em again after Christmas, I guess. If I hear or see anything up this way, I'll holla at you.

Well guys I finally spotted some Universe Wave 4 figures! They had 3 Cheetors left, and one Cyclonus left. So, there are only 2 Cheetors left.

Location:
Toys "R" Us
2626 N. Fairfield Rd.
Beavercreek, OH 45431

Also, a guy from the back room told me it shows in their system that they're supposed to be getting a box of Wave 4 figures in on Friday or Saturday, but if not then the following Friday of January 2, 2009.

D'oh! Wave 4's to the north and south of Lima...but nowhere quite near here. I might have to take a road trip, based on what the TRU guy said about getting in more stock.

The TRU on Groves Road in Columbus had one Cyclonus, which I snagged. They reportedly had two, but I didn't see any sign of the other one. Also had one animated Ultra Magnus.

Awesome! you found a wave 4 figure, now you won't have to drive and hour to an hour in a half to Dayton, depending if you speed. What other figures from wave 4 are you getting or are you getting all 6 of them?

I got laid off from my job a month ago, so I'm definitely taking it easy in terms of collecting right now. Cyclonus was a must-have (and my god, he's awesome--one of the best figures of recent years), and I'll get Hound/Ravage when I see them. I'll probably end up skipping on Cheetor and Dinobot. Still debating Inferno, whenever he shows up in this area.

Dayton's about an hour-fifteen drive for me, depending on how traffic and the roads are. I've been to the Miamisburg TRU before, and I called all the TRU's in Toledo, Fort Wayne, Dayton, and one other one in Columbus before hitting on the Groves Road location.

Jenus, if you (and any of the other Dayton crew) want to try to get together at some point, let me know...might be knid of cool, and we're not that far from each other, comparatively speaking.

It seems like a lot of people are being laid off lately, hopefully that will change once Obama is in office. I'll probably be laid off from my job sometime next month or February, but my boss is telling me he'll get me in unemployment for 2 months so I'll have time to find a job if possible.

Cyclonus is definitly a great figure I was so happy I found one, now I'm mainly waiting for Inferno.

I wasn't very sure how far away Lima was from me so I just guessed with the time, just never been up north of Ohio before.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that sometime, it would be pretty cool to meet you or any other Ohioans that are into transformers.

Yeah, getting laid off sucks. I got notice a few days before Thanksgiving, so it kind of put a damper on the holidays. I've sent out almost 60 applications so far...I just keep hoping for the best. I hope you get through it okay, too, though.

Moraine's about 80 miles south of Lima, from what I can tell. I've met a few other Transfans from Ohio over the years, and they're pretty cool.

I'm still hoping to find Hound/Ravage--they'll be my last TF splurge for a while. Rumble/Ravage were the first two TF's I ever got, 25 years ago (which I still can't believe), and I've still got them, so having the newer version of Ravage would be sweet. I'll probably check a few of the area stores on Monday for them.
