That's cool, I like it.. but I'll do you one better

Dude! Loving that! This is the mode I’ve been going with so far it’s simple but eh it works.

I like it. I tried my last version as something different I hadnt seen before. But I take yours and make; Boombox/Turntable for DJ RumbleKing.

Just getting back into photos after a year and not quite back up to par.

That...is...AWESOME. I can totally see that!

Sabrblade, if you are readong this, the Siege tfwiki page has thundercracker in wave 3, he is only in wave 4.

He’s till schedule for June release along with springer separately in all online retailers. I think there might be 2 separate wave three voyager releases. One all springer and one all thundercracker

Ok, I checked at entertinament earth and indeed there are 2 different waves. But it snot all one or the other. It's springer and Starscream, Thundercracker and Megatron

So Sabr, you can ignore that now.

Gotcha. Yeah it’s really weird distribution at the moment. I figured it was all springer and all thundercracker since bbts and tfsource don’t have listing for full cases on either like everyone does and that photo someone took of 4 or 5 springers on a shelf.

I dont know what coast you are on but usually the east coast gets the figures before the west coast does. So for me in CA, I know Springer is on his way

Yeah I’m in NorCal it’s a real roll of the dice sometimes. Not getting the TR wave with Windblade and Twin Twist really hurt.

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

I saw twin twist ONE time at a Walgreens and I passed on it. I saw windblade when I was in WA state and that figure was in a toys r us right before their demise and I passed on it aswell. I'm a picky collector but I can see how that is frustrating.

There is no more rhyme or pattern to it anymore. For a while it was the west getting it first but now we are seeing it all over the place.

[o.supreme]

From what I've experienced based on sightings, It's still pretty much still East-West, (Target & Walmart). Walgreens is the only exception that seems to go West-East.

It seems to be a bit better/quicker now, but the pattern is still basically the same

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

Speaking of target, none of the last wave did I see at all in target, soundwave, starscream, etc. They were all on walmart shelves. Because I hate going into Walmart lol, but they do allow me to open the shipment boxes on the floor so I guess I'll cut them some slack

[o.supreme]

That's cool. Occasionally it seems like one chain or the other will get certain items first, but eventually they BOTH get them. If I even tried asking to open a box at my closest walmart, they'd probably have me escorted out of the store. Of course this is the same place that has all men's shaving products on lockdown, and they actually tie the security devices for high end products to the shelf fixtures... So many G1 Prime re-issues and Siege Leaders that will never get purchased....

I don't have an updated pic, but they did the same thing. The Leader Shockwaves are actually affixed to the shelving with the security device... I can go to another store a few miles in the opposite direction, and it's nothing like this

Hey, that will result in a properly warmed shelf you mean. It’s all about perspective. I’m taking it back Will so help me I’m taking shelf warming back.

I shall not rest!...until, well, I mean if there’s some official append to a dictionary or something what am I going to do right? But! Until then, my resolution shall know no conquerer.

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

Ow wow! I'm in the bayarea, they dont do that up here at all.
If you ask the person stocking the shelves to open a case on the floor, they say "go ahead". Probably because they dont care. Thata how I got all of my reflectors and a few others. The shelves were fully stocked with the older figures and I saw a box on the pallet. They let me open it and I bought half the box

Midwest gets most things first it seems. I found all wave three deluxea and managed to get three refractors Monday night.

[Trocheman]

There was a bunch of Shockwaves in the Target by my girls house a couple weeks ago. i think 4 of them. im gonna look to see if they have Optimus

He’s really starting to spill out. I’ve been looking and I found a target with 3 and a buddy at work said he saw 5 at a target.

[Trocheman]

How "rare" are these toys? do they remake them and put them back on the shelves?

Seibertronians, transform, and Roll Out! It's time to gas up your rides and head out to your local Wal-Marts folks because we are getting reports from across the map of these long awaited bots hitting the shops. We'd previously reported on sightings at Meijer's (pronounced May-ers for the uninitiated) Target, and Wal-Mart here and here but we have received word that the new wave has hit wider retail by being found in Wal-Marts in Alabama, Texas, California, Maryland, and Ohio! There doesn't appear to be a pattern here so all we can say is best of luck and happy hunting out there.


As always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums and tell us what you find! Please be sure to update your local sighting forum specifically to let your neighbors know where to go.

Still... not ONE Springer in sight

[Railbomb]

So I just got Brunt from a friend of mine who works a Walmart, and hearing the case distribution I think we may be seeing a revision wave instead of the original assortment. The case stocked only had 2 Refractors instead of the 3 the initial wave should have. Instead the case was evenly packed with 2 of Red Alert, 2 of Brunt, 2 of Refractor, and 2 of Hound. This is the first I've heard of Hound being included in this wave, so Thundercracker very well still be wave 3, it's just we've only seen wave 3 revision cases.

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

We hit that waaaaay earlier in the first posts. We know my friend

Who pronounces it May-ers? Everyone in the midwest says My-ers

I wish that was me being humorous but no....anyone order breakfast because I’ve got egg aaaaall over m’face. Humble pie for desert.
Man I seriously tried so hard to get it right and I brain farted.

Anyone been to Wal-Mert or Tairget lately

[RodimusConvoy13]

I found and there’s been other reports of the Refraktor wave at Michigan Walmart’s.

It's so strange considering there was only 1 wave case rumored, and then this one switches it up and arrives first.

I'm annoyed that I don't have the camera mode. I really want to finish it.
