Makes sense since Black Shadow was a remold of Thunderwing.

Probably not but at this point in the game the ship has sailed on those figures, you would be better off ordering those online if you are interested in it as chances of seeing them in a store is slim to none. Unless there is a stray box sitting in a warehouse or something. You might find them at TJ Maxx, Marshals or Ross if you have them in your area.

Yeah, I just saw G2 OP, Bumblebee, Tracks and a couple others at Ross. In the areas that did get them, they're still out there. You should see if anyone can give you a hook up.

EDIT: There's no more Reveal the Shield listed but HTS still has Wheeljack and Thundercracker listed in stock and BBTS still has Bumblebee. Here's a code for 25% off and free shipping to HTS: FSFAM11. Hope it helps!

One other chain to try is Kohls. Supply is dwindling, but some near me (west of Detroit) still have the the RTS wave with Jazz and Tracks hanging around, due to overpricing and a lesser department store not being among the top 10 places Transfans look for VHTF figures. Some might have Strax-um-Darkmount too, but not much more recent Generations stuff; the Thundercracker/Wheeljack/Warpath/Kup/Scourge wave never stopped popping up sporadically in Target, TRU, and Meijers near me.

They're probably selling out as I type this, so I may as well have given tips on a Windcharger sighting. I just got 2 Wreck Gars, Perceptor, and Legends Gold(bug)blebee at a Marshalls 2 weeks ago, but you do have to be there on the day they open the case. If you can't waste the gas it takes to check every day, no guarantees.

I completely agree.

Also, dear Hasbro:

"Look at Sky Shadow. Now look at Junkheap. One of these figures looks crappier than the other. Now look at me, because this is really important. Can you guess which figure looks better? That's right, it's Sky Shadow. The shade of silver plastic you guys like to use on practically every other figure really, really sucks. So how about you guys man up and use the better shade seen on your friend Sky Shadow here. I hear ladies love it. Dudes too."

Yeah, definitely check out TJ Maxx. I found my Grapple and Strafe there, but hey never showed up at any local Wamarts, Targets,or TRU either.

Sky SHadow looks a lot like Macabre. Maybe a pruple and silver repaint is in order...

Nn intrest in these figures although sky shadow looks pretty cool

... but not enough to catch my eye

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 6:42 pm

I want both these guys BADLY! Especially Black Shadow.

I really like the goofball colours on Junkheap as well. I already have two Wreck-Gars' so Junkheap will stay in bot mode for sure.

by **frenzyXprime** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 6:44 pm

TFW has more pictures of Junkheap.

No, he's not. I also hate that mold, but that's partially because I hate Wreck-Gar.

Here's a few Wreck-Gar vs. Junkheap comparison images courtesy of HK-TF:

Is it just me, or does Junkheap look like a businessman?

by **blotbot** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 7:50 pm

I'm liking Black Shadow. However, Junkheap, I'm no longer interested in. The coloring is terrible.

I thought Jumkheap was going to be a Scrapheap re-paint, I'm glad we're getting a new head mold with this one.
3 officially released head molds + madeinjapan custom add-ons + reprolabels = true junkion army.

Black Shadow looks great. It's a shame I don't care for that mold very much.

I dislike the yellow on Junkheap, but I'll pick him up. Maybe twice

by **Cobalt Prime** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 8:32 pm

I really like the Galactus-like head mold they used for Sky(dark?)Shadow. The alternate chest piece also serves to further distance him aesthetically from Thunderwing. THAT is how you do a repaint.
