I still have yet to see RTS Perceptor and Wreck-Gar in stores. Should I give up on it and get them online, or does anyone think there's a chance they could still be released?

Order them online, for sure. It's extremely unlikely you'll see them at major retailers with DOTM out.

Ordering online is the only absolute way to make sure you get them. However, it seems they are showing up at T.J. Maxx (at least Wreck-Gar) according to this thread RTS Spotted at discount retail.

Better order them online, otherwise you'll miss out! just ordered mine and should be here tomorrow and the cost is $45 shipped!

get them at your local Marshall's for 6.99 each. What a steal.

Get them online while you can. Don't hold your breath about Marshalls and TJ Maxx because there haven't been any that have shown up at any of those store around here. They seem to be at selective discount store in certain areas of the US and now that the cat is out of the bag about the discount retailers having them good luck beating other people there to get them.

Just got back from Marshalls(upstate ny newburgh rt 300) and got both plus Optimus prime and all for 6.99 each!!! Best 22.65 on 3 toys!!

I got lucky and found perceptor in perfect shape with everything in tact minus the box for $8.00 at a local store(sorry there was only one). Have not seen wreck-gar anywhere- and I would definitely go online. It looks like Hasbro is already lining up the prime series to follow up right behind dotm, so it's getting progressively less probably to see previously released toys in retail stores at this point.... and if it does show up eventually you'll probably have spent so much in gas going to look and drive and look and drive etc.... that it would just be cheaper to bite the perverbial online bullet.

WOW.. I have seen both several times over the past few months..
I have been seeing a lot of scourge lately though..

Your right. I already cleaned out the only Marshall's I have came across in Indiana that has RTS deluxe. This includes Indy, if you were interested in knowing.

BTW, TJ Maxx, at least in Indiana, is not getting RTS. Only Marshall's.

Yep, I would do the same. None sighted in the Ft Wayne area yet though. I won't bank on finding them either. But I already have them so i'm not losing sleep over it.

Thanks for the heads up. I will continue to check Marshalls but I don't have much hope.

The Fort Wayne Marshall's did get the RTS figures and they've already been cleaned out mostly. I got a Laser Optimus from there and they had 3 Perceptors left. They also had all the legends except for Megatron and Optimus.

How do you know TJMaxx in Indiana is not getting RTS?
