Is hasbro still making Ratchet and Blackout? Every were i go all i see is voyager Starscream and Ironhide. No Ratchets(the one figure that was abundent every were a week ago) and i havent see a Blackout in a few weeks (other than the Desert attack 2 pack that is now unseen at all TRUs over here). I should also add that i havent seen any wave one deluxes any were other than over priced kb toys. Has hasbro just forgotten about wave one?

Ratchet's definitely still out here, same with Blackout. Eventually you'll get to see them. Heck, I have to have a "eventually i'll see _______" mentality, or else i'm never going to get the Transformers I want.

Yeah they're out there, At my Wal-marts and Targets thats the only two they stocked during the reset.

Give it some some time, they seem o get stocked after all the Ironhides and SS are stocked at least where I am.

honestly i am hoping yes myself because I am on the same boat as you. This is really serious when you don't see any leader class figures on the shelves. Hopefully the resets will hook us all up so we can move on and finish our collections.

I hope so. If i didnt get the Desert attack 2 pack when i did i wouldnt have Blackout or scorp. This happens every time im looking for a figure. Last time it was the first Bumblebee. He was the most stoked figure then none were left. The only place ive seen ratchet is at KB but im not paying almost $30 for a $20 figure. Ratchet is available on hasbrotoyshop but after its all said and done i might as well buy him at KB.

Ratchet is the only movie figure I consistently see on the shelves. Blackout not so much.

I see stacks of Voyager ratchets almost everywhere I go. either they made way too many, or nobody likes him.

I don't like him. If that helps. But I had to relieve Walmart of one before I found that out.

I like Ratchet. I bought him. I went to walmart tonite and I bet I saw a stack of at least 25 -30 of him.

No they won't. They hardly have him anymore. Though they are restocking for Christmas.

I've seen several ratchets of late, but few blackouts.

You have seen pictures of repaints/metallic paints of Ratchet, Evac etc. So of course it is obvious Hasbro is making these toys day in day out night in night out in China.
....forever.

Sure hope so because Rachet is the only voyager class I put off. I should have hidden one like I usually do. But he was such a shelf warmer, i didnt see the need. Now I cant find him anywhere. Also, Where the hell is leader class brawl? I put off on deluxe brawl so I could get him. I never picked up a bonecrusher either. Is it just extreme fandom right now or is there a real shortage?

Every time i hide a figure he's never there. I did it with ratchet and Brawl. I hide it in the most unlikely place any one would look and they were gone. It seems that the employees actually check the areas out and fix any thing wrong. I also think i live in a Transformer dead zone because there is basically nothing over here.

Lol When I mean Hide, i mean really Hide! lol I am an employee at Target. The store room is at my disposal! But even then, other employee's will put the stuff out if they dont know its mine. It sucks sometimes.

Saw Blackout with the deluxe Scorponok Toysrus exclusive two weeks ago. Haven't seen anymore for now. Voyager Ratchet I have't seen over a month. It's getting ridiculous the wait for these recent new movie toys. :?

Funny you should say, I can't find Starscream or Ironhide, only Ratchet and Blackout. :lol:

i still see rachet around and blackout too, but have never seen the voyager prime or megs!!

Ive never seen a voyager megs at work or anywhere else. But I know for the most part voyager prime was an exclusive at target for a while. Though now you should be able to find him at any store. I finnally got my rachet at wallmart, though the box was messed up.
