Just got the message that mine is on his way! Should be on my door step tomorrow! Can't wait to get him.

Ordered from HTS - they say it will be delivered on/around June 8th....

Still available at HTS as of 8:00pm MST USA. That's surprising, given how fast all the other popular CW stuff has gotten cleaned out.... Motormaster and Blackjack are still 'not available' after several weeks...

As you know by now, BBTS received a partial shipment of Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus, but some of us (myself included) noticed that our preorders have been pushed back to late June, sadly. All hope is not lost, however, because we have our first retail sighting of Ultra Magnus right here in the US! (And this sighting is exclusive to Seibertron.com!)

Fellow fan and collector Quinton Bryson found him in Harlingen Texas and provided in-hand photo proof!

We've mirrored his images below and we invite you to use our sightings forum and our sightings submission form to share your findings with your fellow fans and boardmates!

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Awesome find! Here's hoping he shows up widely pretty soon. I forget, does he come in a wave with anyone else?

If I plan on keeping him in robot mode, do the painted rims really matter? :-?

Just curious here, but has anyone seen wave 2 of CW in retail yet? I found Streetwise the other day, but I've seen nothing from wave 2 yet.

Very cool! Guess I'll swing by the one near me on the way home, why not. Haven't been to any WM stores around here in quite awhile.

Me too.

However, if I ever see Leader TC on clearance for around 30$, I may buy for my MOSC TC collection.

Been finding them sporadically at my local Walmart. Was lucky enough to find the full teams, though I sent away through Amazon for Motormaster. Either they haven't restocked or they're flying off the shelves, because only wave 1 voyagers and scouts left.

I was giddy like a school girl when I first saw the pics of Magnus. But I am a stickler about hands and how well they hold their weapon. Sad to say but I shall pass on Magnus.
