When is wave 2 of combiner wars supposed to hit retail? Walmart and Kmart have done shelf resets but haven't really bothered to stock anything. I find it strange they would do a reset and just leave their shelves empty. I work at retail too and we're ALWAYS supposed to keep shelves stocked.
Are they just waiting for shipments or are they just lazy? Would the port congestion on the west coast be a factor in this?

On a side note I did manage to find Silverbolt but again most of the pegs were empty. I've just seen wave 1 of the deluxes and a few random things from the new Prime line. Seen little else.

And now you discover the MAERVELOUS wonder that is the horrible stocking of shelves for Transformers. Welcome to the community.

Oh I've been well aware of that for some time but this is ridiculous!

Wave 1 just hit here, I'd be shocked to see wave 2 (here) before Easter.

EDIT: wow, easter is closer than I thought... I highly doubt wave 2 gets here that soon

Only saw 2 deluxes for wave 1 at Target 3 weeks. Nothing since. Frankly I'd love to see wave 2 asap.

Isn't the West Coast dock strike what is holding everything up?
IDW releases have already been pushed back due to this.
All of this stuff comes on similar storage crate cargo ships so what is applicable to one should be to another.
This just aggravates the usual post holiday farce that is the big box reset.

Dock strikes will probably mean overstock on items later. Looking forward to a peg warming year.

Just heard a resolution may have been reached so we might not be as SOL as originally thought.

Don't know about the rest of you but still haven't found anything yet despite sightings for the Leader class Megatrons. Walmart's shelves are void of anything save for a few random RiD figures. Target seems to be the only retailer that keeps anything in stock anymore and even then its just wave 1 of combiner wars and leftover movie stuff. Getting tired of not finding anything.

On a different note I did find RiD Drift. Not crazy about the show but he is a neat figure.
