Did i miss him or is he the current wave or next? I went to TRU, Target, and 2 Walmarts. None have them. The stores are just riddled with the same crap from the last 2 months. And whatever happened to Leader Jetfire? You'd think among the Prime's and Meg's he'd be available for purchase to complete Jet-Optimus.

They should be out bout now or within the month.

And Jetfire was rather popular, moreso than Prime and Megs, so he's been picked clean.

Oh okay, I was looking for them too. Does anyone know when the new thrust is coming out?

i second what Mkall said..Jetfire was out here in San antonio for about a month during the holidays and he has been MIA since then.. I have yet to see Mindwipe though or skystalker..I have seen defender prime and most of the other NEST figures ..

I've seen A Skystalker and I bought it. I've only seen 3 or 4 Jetfires ever, and I haven't seen Mindwipe yet. The distribution of the RotF line has been a bit wonky. It was 3 months before I saw Arcee, I only saw Long Haul or Grindor twice.

I've pretty much abandoned buying 'Formers in stores. I have 3 WalMarts and 2 Targets within 30 minutes of my house, and they've had the same collection of peg-warmers for months.

I ordered Mindwipe, Bludgeon and Brawn from the HTS and the Wave 5 & 6 scouts from BBTS a couple weeks back and got them all within 7 days. I have Takara Animated Arcee on pre-order from BBTS too.

I still see Leader Jetfire on occasion. However, I have the reverse problem with Mindwipe and Skystalker. I can find plenty of Mindwipe and absolutely no Skystalker.

If the canadian stores are any indication, it seems that the Scout waves are shipping slightly later than the voyager waves.

Again, be patient.

Skystalker first showed up in stores here in Memphis about two weeks ago - and even then, not all of them.

Mindwipe didn't show up until this past week, and again, not all of the stores.

I found Skystalker at a local Walmart about a week or so prior to finding Mindwipe at a Target.the stores here in kingsport seem to get one or the other. the Walmart still hasn't gotten any of the newer figures past the very first wave of deluxe NEST figures except for the scouts, while the Target has only the NEST Voyagers and nothing else. Last I was there they had three Mindwipespast the one I bought, but no ROTF deluxes beyond Ravage and Mudflap.

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!

Kmart had 3 Jetfires. 50 bucks but it's better than paying ebay prices. Also nabbed the Universe Minicon Kmart exclusive.

Jetfire is super long when in vehicle mode XD. It's twice the length of my netbook lol.
