We previously reported that select Walmarts now carry Wave 1 of Reveal the Shield figures, consisting of Mindset, Fallback, Turbo Tracks and Special Operations Jazz. Now the same wave has started showing up in Kmart and Walgreens throughout the US. Don't forget to post your sightings in our Sightings section and our Sightings forum.





Though the figures are not yet registering on Kmart and Walgreeens' computers, they are on the shelves and available to be bought.

can't find anything past wave 2 of the generations line an now these are showing up? argh

Kmart surprises me, but Walgreens, ironically, doesn't. For some reason they got in the most recent HFTD scout wave randomly, when they had no deluxes and a few legends Mudflaps. I'll have to go check my local stores.

is this confirmed nationwide, or in just a few cities?

Hello fellow Ohioan! I'd say you're lucky. My area only has wave 1 and ROTF rejects. Except for my local Kohl's oddly, which has wave 2 HFTD deluxes and PCC 2 packs, but that's about all.

Kmart in Quincy, IL has them, as does Walgreens in Columbus OH. And I can personally confirm that Walgreens in San Francisco has them.

It's just too bad that both those stores overcharge for figures compared to Target and Wal-Mart. Walgreens I can understand since they are not your standard discount department store, but Kmart is.

I can confirm that K-Mart has them from Parkersburg, WV to Athens, Ohio.

Unfortunately, we haven't received Generations wave 3 though.

Thanks to Matt Booker's Kmart sighting, I lucked out and found two complete sets at the Kmart in Des Plaines, IL. And ol' Primus must've been watching out for me as well ... I got them for Kmart's sale price of $7.99 each. Guess we know which figures I'll be doing galleries of next!

off to my walgreens i go............

WOW! Exellent find Seibs! I really wish they would hit the Northern VA area. I've been hunting for them like crazy at Targets, Walmarts, Toys R Us's but with no luck. I'll have to check out my local K Mart today and hope I get lucky

FYI ... I took the sale sticker that said "Transformers Movie figures $7.99 reg $11.99" from the peg they were on up to the cash register with me because Matt Booker said in his email to us this morning that they weren't in the computer system. I would've gladly paid $11.99 for them but they rang them up at the $7.99 sale price.

yeah my local kmart just got WFC Megatron and Darkmount like two three weeks ago and i've had to succumb to the devil that is ebay for megs soundwave and blurr..then next week its red alert and dirge since it takes FOREVER for anything new like RTS to show up here

Well, they're being sighted around here of all places, so I can readily assume that they've had the stock the whole time, they just weren't putting it out until Black Friday. Seriously, we usually don't get anything new until about a month after everyone else.

Yeah it seems like for once Kmart (of all places) played their cards right. Good for them.

Anything I should make sure I pay attention to when I'm doing the galleries for Tracks and Jazz? I know Jazz has his speaker mode/attachments, I read that Tracks has the wing deployment in vehicle mode but I'll have to look that up. Anything else I should really watch for that's most likely not documented in the instructions?

Well, I haven't been to my only local Kmart in two or three years maybe, but last time I was there they didn't have much, but maybe I should check back again.
But with Generations it is very hard to find post wave 1 stuff. There's no way I'm going for ebay though. I guess I'll wait to see if anything shows up. I really want Blurr and Dirge, though.

Any reason why you guys don't buy them online from ToysRUs.com, Target.com, HasbroToyShop.com, or sites like BBTS.com, TFsource.com, etc?

Do you guys participate in the Toy Sightings forum to find out where other fans are finding them in your area? If anyone went to the Kmart where I found these, they wouldn't find a whole lot of new stuff other than Battle Blades Optimus Prime so if they didn't visit Seibertron.com, they wouldn't know that that store had 8 brand spankin' new figures earlier this morning in stock before I cleared them out.

Found all 4 at my local kmart picked up a mindset and a fallback they had jazz and tracks but i already got both online

I was floored that I found them at the K-Mart here in town. I got the only Jazz figure for $8, passed on Mindset and Fallback, but couldn't find Tracks...I scoured the whole toy section in the hopes that maybe some kid picked him up and set him down somewhere else or that he was buried under those Zhu-Zhu Hamsters nearby...no luck.

Thanks! I forgot to check the Toys R Us site. I don't think Target had anything last time but I'll check. Hasbro is pretty much sold out of the popular stuff like Blurr and Dirge.
I do usually check the sightings forum, but I believe I am the only one in my county that contributes, and there aren't even any stores in my area in the store listings, so I usually have to go around once a week to all the stores myself.

I tend to make the majority of my purchases online. My most trusted supplier is BBTS but I tend to use HasbroToyShop.com and ebay from time to time. I've pretty much got two of each preordered at BBTS but I wanted to see if I could find them in the wild to spend a little less than 16.99 online for a deluxe. They're usually the first ones in getting the newer Waves in stock before retail release but this time it's the other way around. Of all TF Waves too Regardless, online shopping seems to be the only option for me right now since I just came from K Mart empty-handed

Also, the Toy Sightings forum is very useful. I try to participate in it whenever I
can to help out other members find what they're looking for. But very few members participate in it from my perspective.

Anyone want to hook me up with Jazz? I can pay-pal you the cash. He's the only one I cannot find.

Just got back from two K-marts and a Walgreens (in addition to three Targets and a TRU) and found absolutely bupkis as far as Reveal The Shield goes. Also still haven't found Generations Blurr or Dirge.

I'm sorry, but the act of posting pictures of "clearing out" new figs, and turning around and openly stating they do not contribute to sightings threads is a dick move. I believe that's a whole case worth of figs. I dont plan to buy RtS, but if I did, I'd be pissed that this guy lives near me and would take a picture of and post said "fan" looting the aisle. Scalpers need to be exposed for not only the good of the fandom, but also to stop the retailers from allowing them to profit from bad form. It's in their right to scalp, but they should be stigmatized by all who join forums such as these. By buying from these guys on ebay, the fandom expresses their approval of this heinous act. You sir, should be ashamed.
