After we reported that Generations has hit Italian retail we received word that the line has also hit US retail. More specifically they where sighted at a ToysRus in Scranton Pennsylvania.
So you might want to have a look at your local toy-store and see if Generations has also hit your neighbourhood.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your Transformers related news!

Checking local TRU's this weekend, since that seems the popular place for Gen-line to appear...

AGH! I was just at Wal-Mart two days ago....but I think they were clearing the shelves for Generations as I saw next to no ROTF stuff, it was all empty.

I picked up Drift yesterday at TRU. I thought everyone knew they were starting to show up or I would have posted yesterday. Drift is one of the best deluxes I've ever seen! Extremely poseable, great alt mode, near perfect representation of his comic appearance in bot mode.

Check my TRU today and no sign of Generations, but I was surprised to see they restocked wave 1 of the ROTF Fast Action Battlers, I mean it's nothing to go crazy after, but I haven't seen those since last fall. Must have been a leftover case.

Quick question about Gen-line and HFTD line, was there a street date for both of these lines to be released? or their just coming out whenever?

The TRU near me had 3 left from a whole case when I got there. They had Thrust, WFC Prime, and Bumblebee. I bought all three.

Thrust is amazing. He is, by far, the best looking seeker. The paint job on him is fantastic. The deep burgandy with dark grey and gold accents really looks nice. He also seems heavier than the other seekers. Also, his joints are VERY tight. The last Starscream was super floppy, but Thrust joints are tight to the point that you feel like you are pushing too hard.

I haven't opened Prime and Bumblebee yet. I will do that later.

That's weird, after looking at Silverbot's pics (congrats on the finds btw) I could have sworn that Optimus and Bumblebee are supposed to have WFC sticker on the front. Or am I missing it?

If you look in the VSD, the stickers applied to the front will vary. I'm assuming it is targeted marketing for either the video game or the new Hub network based on each wave release, or geo-demographical distribution.

Anyway, I need to shake up some cash for these...anyone looking for an '85 Ultra Magnus with unapplied stickers? (j/k...please don't punish me for a sales listing!!!)

:BOT:

I see, that makes sense. The one I ordered from amazon came with the WFC sticker.

Darn it. Checked my TRU today, and the shelves are totally stocked...with stuff from LAST FALL. Arrgh. No Generations in sight. There was an ENTIRE END CAP of Cybertron mode Ratchets tho, with some Jazz's, Soundwaves, and others thrown in.

ETA: For reference I'm in Eugene, OR.
