At the risk of wandering a little bit off topic another option to get discounts other than looking for voucher codes online is "Topcashback.com" or Topcashback.co.uk and similar services - they offer variable offers across a whole lot of site - from tiny cashback like 1% to 6 or 10% sometimes and there offers are dead useful for insurance policies too.

But anyway I always use them when buying from the likes of TRU & The Entertainer and they have a US site too. You don't actually have to be only american or UKster to buy via there though - I use the US site when the cashback is higher - the also have little contests that can win you a few pounds/dollars over time too. like the current one for halloween in the UK.

Anyway recommended clicking through via there if you buy online - it also works on click an collect items too so for example if you did that for TK Maxx and spent enough to get free delivery you can also get cashback too - and if you pay with a cashback credit card you might get even more on top back via that too.

I thought i'd mention it anyway.

Usa site :

Uk site :
https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/romulan

Once you are a member you can refer other people for rewards too - if you use either of my links and use the site I'll get some money too.

Anyway shilling for Topcashback over..

I just got Blaster - he's rather fun isn't he's great for fan-base modes too. and really got fun to use with small transformers too.

Can someone show me a pic of the combination with TR Mindwipe and Apeface?

Scratch that, I found it:

I'd say "don't tempt me with awesome fan modes of subpar toys", but the total lack of Wave 2 toys anywhere solves that little problem...

Same here, Titans Return has been released in Australia for a good couple of months but I have yet to sight a mass amount of Wave 2. All I've seen is a Highbrow at Big W. I really hope they don't skip wave 2 here like they did with Combiner Wars. (They did it with wave 3 too)

Is Big W an import store?

Having some fun!





Oh man, I love the overlaying of plastics on wolfwire, he has it for his shoulders and his wolf head, which is awesome. I remember thinking that several weapons, interactive gimicks, paint, dedication to a specific source, and clear plastic were a thing of the past for Hasbro, but man its all back! There is absolutely nothing laxy about Wolfwire. Weird, yes, like that big ass gun, but nothing lazy.

I have no idea, I've never seen any Takara products at it though.

I might know how oprimus (voyager) might transform don't quote me on this

What I do believe for the transformation is first remove titan master next twist around the tops of the shoulders next fold them down on a Hinge located on the back of the shoulder next fold in the hands next fold in arms same thing both sides next untab chest area next fold in feet next the back section if fold in and fold down next fold legs back next the back section will fit inside next close up the tanker part and put titan master in the seat and finished. Don't know how accurately this is so I'm just telling by what I see so far.

That I could see only 10000 times bigger and it looks like a little spaceship that I built a little while ago.

We used to have a Big W here in Scotland but it's a Tesco's now

Many people have spotted Wave 2 at K-Marts. Though that seems to be more towards the south of the country and not nation wide.

Or there's this configuration

Found wave two in my local Walmart here in Lethbridge Alberta.


And a crap ton of Cw Cyclonus for $15.00 because he just isn't selling here for some reason.

Then in that case, it means wave 2 did hit Australia and is not being skipped.

I have mentioned it on numerous occasions ...

Hasbro seem to have over supplied Hotspot and Cyclonus and massively Under supplied Skylynx and White Optimus, I 'm guessing Onslaught and Scattershot sit somewhere in the middle - supply wise.

Optimus & Silverbolt were made in decent numbers but seem to have pretty much disappeared so much so that people are saying they are not going to buy a 3rd party Optimus upgrade as they can't find another CW Optimus to put it on.

There also seems to have been horrible supply problems with RID Minicons too.

Wave 1 Leader-class figures have just started to trickle in to Walmart in North Dakota. I hear Walmart and Toys R Us purchased large quantities of wave 2 product, and they will likely be placing them on shelves in the next few weeks. This is why many online sellers are out of stock of many wave 2 figures.

Yes, this was confirmed by Hasbro directly, all their wave 2 stock was sold away, and of course the biggest purchasers would be Walmart and TRU.

Why are they waiting so long to make it available? The only non-online store carrying wave 2 now is walgreens argh!

I'm guessing due to the holiday shopping season. Resetting planograms, getting things ready, then all the toys all at once!!

I'm going to hate it.

It seems to depend on the locale. In southern states and some east coast states, wave 2 deluxes have hit retail like Target and Walmart, but it seems to be pretty scarce up in the northern states. None of the stores in the Fargo area of North Dakota have seen any wave 2 figures except for the legends-class figures at Target.

Its odd, I will give you that. Very much unlike last year where the last wave of the year was available at the start of the 4 th quarter at least. Is wave 1 stocked well anywhere? Because that would be my main guess as to why the rest isnt stocked yet. I know my TRU has Galvatron, Sentinels, Prime and Blasters up to the wazoo, so it would make sense to wait before putting wave 2 on the shelves (since there is no place to put it).

Around here, TRU and Target have Sentinel and Galvatron, but no Blaster or Prime. Blaster and Prime just started showing up at Walmart. I have a feeling our stores are a good 4–6 weeks behind southern and coastal state stores. TRU does have a couple Fort Max on hand, which has been available for a couple weeks, though, so I decided to snag one of those. I am just getting tired of waiting for Chromedome and Highbrow to hit the shelves.

Try Walgreens. That's where Titans Return deluxe Wave 2 has been showing up in the Minnesota Twin Cities area. I snagged my Highbrow and Chromedome there. Be warned, Walgreens sells the deluxes for a whopping $20 USD! I also spotted a lone Chromedome about a week or two ago at the T1 Target in Roseville, MN. The wait should be almost over, I imagine.
