I was browsing for some items for a cousins b-day when i run across a FRESH 3 boxes of these 2. I didnt get sky shadow since i have the gray version already, but couldnt help get 2 of Junk Heap. Here are some pics. Also these were found in Corbin Kentucky Wal-Mart supercenter. Have fun hunting guys. Oh they also had 3 of the black friday specialy combiner sets that come with an extra figure. They were all dinobots though. I got 1 didnt take a pic though. here is junk heap.

Unlike most previous Generations waves that have taken weeks (or months) to show up in Virginia, these have been showing up on shelves for a week or two now.

While I'd love to think that some longstanding issues with the distribution channel have been resolved, it seems more likely that things just kick into gear for the holiday season.

I must agree with you there, but there is one other reason these came out so quickly. Transformers Prime action figures are schedules to come out this month and next I think. So Hasbro decided to go ahead and kick these out quick so everyone can buy them up. I mean they are only repaints and slight remolds after all. Not like they are all that important to have. If anyone knows the exact date the Transformers Prime figures come out please post it here. Id love to know

Sky Shadow is indeed an awesome remold, with a new torso in addition to a new head.

But what's remolded on Junkheap? I thought it was just a repaint.

His head is remolded. The new head actually doesn't look like wrekgar at all.

In that case, I would have to say that Junkheap is a "slight remold", not an "awesome remold".

Any new Junkions qualify for awesome remold.

Found both at target in lou ky. Not impressed but I needed a fix. BAD!!!
There were a few left along with kup wheeljack scourge and warpath. I wish I had some extra cash so I could have picked a few extras up for members.
I get paid mon. If theyre still there I may go get em.
