Is this really hard to find domestic US?

virtually impossible. Leaders in the US have been almost nonexistent, especially past wave 1

After the complete failure if the AOE line, a lot of stores aren't sticking leaders at all anymore.

In the TRU where I usually check for stuff, Blaster and SW aren't moving at all. Same with Sentinel (I know, different category).

At least 6shot sold out with the 1st batch delivered. He's been replenished now together with Blackshadow.

Never saw Hb Astrotrain btw at TRU.

I fail to see the correlation between AOE's failures and stores not ordering enough Leaders. AOE only had two Leader class figures and a lot of stores barely stocked those either. If anything is to blame it's the lingering CW Leaders still being found at some stores a year after release.

Most stores occasionally get Blaster, PMOP, Skywarp and the random CW Leader (Magnus, Screamer, Megz), but this is the first TR Soundwave I've seen in the wild!

Walgreens had TR Hot Rod....no Kup for me.

The latest Legends and TMs are readily available in Oregon, however.

Well speaking of Leaders I finally managed to find somewhere to get PM Optimus Prime and he was on sale too - so hopefully he should arrive later this week !!

My local ASDA got the mythical Carboard display in - *it wasn't the spoilerific one though - just the same 2015 design one they had months ago*

So I got some Crash Combiners, Activator Combiners and Bludgeon's pre-paint.

I like to eek things out so I've only open the Beeside and Bee & Stuntwing set so far.

Looks like the rumours of stock coming in in Feb is starting to pay off a little.

I hope it's not to long before the missing Bisk and Ratchet's get rotated back into release though - If I'm confidence Warrior Bisk & Ratchet are going to show up as repacks then I won't have to import them.

CW Silverbolt and Onslaught are really warming the shelf poles at TRU.

Very jealous

News Credits: 4854 · by **william-james88** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 2:06 pm

I cant even see what there is to be jealous of since I am at work and the network blocks images from file sharing sites. Oh well.

And D-Max, speaking of jealousy, I am still jealous of that haul you got with TM2 prowl and that machine Wars Soundave mold. That was just awesome.

A figure that has yet to make it to my neck of the woods. Captains a Starship named after some lights that got lost. :-D

Hey, those were from the Boss himself! You'll find some fun stuff when surfing through the Seibertron store

You know what the worst part is? with that US distribution snafu you guys are experiencing, that doesnt even narrow it down. It could really be Megatron or Hot Rod :lol:

Hey man, I love him; but I'm not gonna get two Megatrons.

Actually, I probably would.

Oddly not in my area, but be damned if I can find any wave 3 deluxes though :BANG_HEAD:

but we have all the wave 3 legends you could shake a stick at.

It really just does seem to be a YMMV distribution kinda thing :-?

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 10:04 pm

Found this chap at Walgreens today.

Anyone else find it comicly ironic that these so far hard-to-find Wave 3 figures are showing up at a "drug" store?

Exactly Cobo! No luck at TRU and u might get lucky at Target (although it's been more than a month now!), but Walgreens just got their shipments or something.

But still no Kup. ;p

My local Walmart just restocked, with the latest RiD Warriors, and Generations Voyagers. I spotted Megatron... with its chest open. I think that connection isn't too secure.

Sadly, no Shuffler and Nightbeat yet, just one each of Sawback, Fangry, Overboard and Ptero. But I did get a consolation prize:

RiD Mini-Con Beastbox

He was all by his lonesome

Clearanced at $4, rung up at $2, even cheaper than at Ross. Now Blastwave (really need a better name for him) has a companion, even if he doesn't match in color. I'll have to look for a cheap Sawback and Velocirazor somewhere.
