I didn't get any personally, because the only figures I have preordered right now are SS Overload and Selects figures, but I saw someone post elsewhere they got the same email about Airwave, so I would guess all of the Wave 2 Deluxes at least are currently delayed from them.
So I went to the Polaris Target to look for these and got distracted with the one and only Scorponok On the shelf... needless to say he came with me as an early birthday gift to myself. He’s joined some of my other titans in the office.

Nice find, my Target doesn't even have a spot on the shelf for him. But you mistransformed his feet! his toes need to be flipped out, he looks like someone who got frostbite.

Interesting. I got Airwave on pre-order through Target and have not heard anything from them yet so hopefully it is just a Pulse thing. I can't wait for Snapdragon to ship from Target so I finally have the Decepticon Headmasters from The Rebirth. I wanna take a group photo lol.
I have Airwave on pre-order at Target as well. But target really isn't great on communication either. I still find it strange there hasn't been a sighting of wave 2 deluxes anywhere that I am aware of. Interestingly...I was able to find out from a kind employee that another shipment of deluxes is due in my local Walmart store tomorrow, though I don't know if it will be more wave 1 (or if Netflix shares the same barcode??), but in any event, I find it highly doubtful since my geographic location would not be the first place to get anything usually....(Although PotP Voyager Hun-Grrr did get 1st sighting news reported at a store about an hour north of me, and we also had the infamous "All CW deluxe Groove" box show up here as well .
Bucket/Want List: Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet (G2 Deco), or Customization Class Ratchet (Marvel Comics Deco) **would also be willing to pay for an Unpainted Botcon 2016 Ratchet, TT Legends Fortress Head (only) with working Electronics
Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak
I think we'll probably have our first deluxe wave 2 sighting in about a week. I have a couple Walmarts and Targets near me that tend to get things early (within a week or so of first sighting) and seem to move TF's pretty well. Those stores have stocked up with wave 1 about a week or so ago, and I'm guessing both chains have to be getting close to clearing out wave 1. Although for me, I have to wait out my Target pre-orders anyway since I got them on that BOBO deal back in Feb/March.
Trying to figure out Target's pre-orders is a guessing game. For Doubledealer at least, my Target pre-order did ship the day he was first reported as sighted in store, and he arrived next day. I made all my pre-orders with Target as soon as they went live, so I have to be pretty early in the pecking order there. Snapdragon on the other hand has not shipped yet despite being found in stores, so who knows for the deluxes.
Special thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Thundertron for reaching out to us about the review as well.
Here's what Chuck has got to say about these two Micromasters teams and you'll find his review embedded below!

Usually, when I review Micromasters there's one set I just don't enjoy, but in this case, both the Astro Squad and Race Track Patrol are really, really fun. The combined form of the Astro Squad makes for a cool looking NASA approved shuttle while the Race Track Patrol has the best-combined weapon of any car based Micromaster team yet. Both sets get a high recommendation from me.
What do you think about these Micromaster updates? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
Do we know if the Earthrise repacks of Micromasters Direct-Hit and Power Punch have new map pieces or if they're repeated from another release? For that matter have we seen any of the map pieces repeated? I don't think we have, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I don't mind buying them a second time, I just don't want to miss the map piece.
BTW Entertainment Earth has Micromaster wave 3 listed as just wave 1 again (Boo, those guys are peg warming at Target) and Power Punch and Direct-Hit which is good for those that missed the Siege line enders, though I really have to wonder what Hasbro has against Rumble and Ratbat being easy to get. A little alarming that these are showing up at Target now before wave 2.

What?!?! Mine says Wednesday
Mine, too.
My order updated and now says tomorrow. Looking forward to my first set of Coneheads.
I JUST got an order update saying delivery tomorrow!! Can’t wait to have these new cone heads!!!!!!!!!!
I find it hilarious as they have the little cone on their heads which goes into the big cone of the jet. I don't know if that was a feature on the original toys but it is kinda cute
And I still can't believe I almost skipped this mold angrily because of the Siege Seekers. Maybe if a Seeker wasn't revealed until Wave 2 it wouldn't have been bad. But seeing Starscream revealed only a couple of months after completing the Siege trio irritated me.
Pulse just charged me for Scorponok today. A full 2 weeks before they said they would. Getting past the unexpected $170 bill, hopefully they actually ship the big guy out and I'll get him next week. And Amazon says the cone heads are unavailable now, so hopefully at least they filled my preorder, even though they haven't charged me and the order says 'not shipped.'
Found these 2 this morning at my usual Target. Appeared to be the only ones left. They also had a Scorponok which I left since I already have mine from BBTS.

FYI for those of you getting the Coneheads; three people as of this writing have gotten the set and Amazon just put a label on the packaging and shipped it like that. One of the three had the box come so damaged that Dirge was broken.
