Not sure if this has been reported yet or not, but they're out. I'm in Oklahoma and I found them at Wal-Mart last night. They wouldn't ring up and I was told they weren't supposed to be for sale until black Friday. They wouldn't sell them to me, so I just went back to the toy department grabbed another couple of sets along with a Mudslinger set and went through a self check-out using Mudslinger's UPC to complete the transaction.

Fantastic. Tomorrow, I hope, Grimstone will be mine. Son of Grimlock, fractured mind due to gestalt experimentation, refers to himself as "We Grimstone", yessssss.
Hmm. He's also up on Amazon now. I might just get him that way. Price is a little high right now, though.

O yeah! Too bad I've yet to see Wave 3 (Stakeout and Crankcase) around the Dallas area, but who knows? I'll snatch them as soon as I see them.

Whoa. New waves not supposed to be available until Black Friday? Awesome! Just maybe I'll head out and score something.

Distribution is crazy on these guys in my area. Most stores have loads of just Wave 1, while some now have Wave 2 2-packs and Wave 3 5-packs (no Wave 2 5-packs or Wave 3 2-packs), while others have nothing but that Searchlight/Skyburst set. And wouldn't you know, the less variety the cheaper they sell them.
Really looking forward to these two, hope to see them before DotM toys flood the area.

We're stuck in wave 1 for 2-packs...I guess they haven't been selling. I decided if they never show up I'm not going to go out of my way to get them, unless they're on clearance at BBTS or something.

I wish those had been out today at Target around here, $10 would have been great. I'll jump on both, tho, they look great.

Seconded. They're the only five packs I'm missing now.

Not in McKinney or the Village in Allen. I plan on searching for the Walmart Neighhbourhood Market in Plano next week.
And stupid me, during the Black Friday craze, I saw a shopping cart with Grimstone in it. Didn't ask where she got that one from.

Seibertron member El Duque has found these two Power Combiner 5-Pack sets at his local Wal-Mart in Oklahoma.
Several of your members have reported sightings about them, just check out the thread by clicking

We've been lucky here lately. I've had Jazz and Tracks for two weeks now, and the Thunderwing wave has already made an appearance as well. I just haven't been able to come up with them yet.

I have to say, these two are the best 5 packs to date. The quality is equal. To the 2 packs finally, and they each have something unique to them-Grimstone has a uniform color scheme, and steamhammer has real hands, thumbs and all.

I had no luck at 1 Walmart here, but there's still 3 or 4 left to check.
Now if I only had the money to actually get them. It's almost as frustrating as seeing Universe Skyfall at Ross last night(for the knowledge that I may have just missed a Universe Hardhead).

Bombshock has hands. With two thumbs each, even.

They have wave 2, 3, and 4 of the five pack combiners (at least 2 dinobots and 3 constructicons as of 3pm on 11/27) at the Walmart on Spring Creek Parkway and Coit, in Plano. Still haven't seen anything past wave one of the 2 packs.

Here's the pic I promised earlier. I would have had it up sooner, but I just now got how to post from my phone.

Hopefully these won't take forever to hit Canada.
