I heard reports of Walmarts stocking early, but that's moot now. Sorry I didn't post before.

Everywhere is pretty well-stocked now, and all DOTM are 20% off except Leaders at TRU. I went to Bowmac/Broadway TRU and they had lots of everything except only 2 Leader Sentinels. Grabbed myself a Voyager Megatron which there were tons of, as well as a Roadbuster with a nice alt mode paint job. I'm half dreading half hoping for a Leader Megatron, but I figured I might as well get the Voyager while it's on sale.

Oh, and Zellers is supposed to have lowered prices on old stock, so I'm hoping to find a PCC Constructicons set if I can...

It's probably safe to say we're not getting the last couple waves of RTS/Generations, unfortunately. I thought this would happen so luckily I ordered it all from BBTS, but it sucks for those who wanted to wait for stuff to hit retail.

And Deluxes. Or at least they aren't @ the Coquitlam TRU. If they are...I wish I had known that before buying Roadbuster and Crankcase yesterday.

Luckily, my LCS managed to (finally) get the latest Wave of Generations, which means my collection is finally complete...in time for me to devote my resources to the DOTM stuff.

And I know it's a little early to be asking this, but...anyone know when we're going to see Wave 2 DOTM?

Deluxes are on sale, $11.97 each. Maybe that's more than 20%... Anyway, they should let you get a price adjustment on the ones you already bought.

I'm glad you managed to get your Generations and RTS.

I can't really be bothered. It'll just teach me to be patient next time.

Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find Scourge, which was really the only one I wanted. I only got Warpath because I heard such good things about him.

Yeah, Scourge is pretty great. I think Jazz & Scourge take top spots in the latest round of classic characters, IMO. Warpath is cool too but not as much as those two.

Are Scourge's wings supposed to clip onto his back? Both of them come loose easily.

Has anyone been down to either Lougheed Wal-Mart or Coquitlam TRU? I'd like to think neither place (or Metrotown TRU, but I can't get down there till the weekend) has gotten Wave 2 yet. I was planning to go out tomorrow after work to check, but would really like to get some idea as to whether or not they got anything new before I do.

They don't really clip tightly, no.

There's no Wave 2 reported at Metro or Coquitlam yet, but they could be there because Bowmac got 1 case of Wave 2 deluxes and Surrey got a bunch. No other Wave 2 sightings yet. I'm hoping to get a Topspin before the sale ends.

Hmm. Guess I'm going down after work after all.

Nothing @ Wal-Mart or Coquitlam TRU. Anyone go to Metrotown?

Nobody posted anything from Metrotown today. But if you're lucky you might find a Grappel at Bowmac or Lansdowne TRU.

Not terribly interested in Grappel. If I was, I would have gotten him at my local LCS or at Wal-Mart. I did pick up RTS Lugnut there a while back.

Alright, I just thought I'd mention since he seems to be pretty sought-after.

Really? Considering how many of them were warming shelves at Wal-Mart, and how long the one at my LCS has been sitting there, I'd think he wasn't that great.

That's surprising to me. Every time someone posts a sighting for that wave on the other site everyone rushes to get there, and Grappel always sells out before Lugnut. I think part of it is just that everyone was worried it wouldn't get released in larger quantities here.

As I said, the one at my local LCS has been there since March, and I picked up Lugnut from Wal-Mart a month ago, where they had at least three. I'm pretty sure they're still there. Both Metrotown and Coquitlam TRU's appear to have gotten them within the past week.

I guess it is more common than I thought.

THIS JUST IN. RTS Scouts including Windcharger have been sighted at the Broadway & Cambie London Drugs. Unfortunately the Windchargers are already gone, but this means everyone looking for him should check out their London Drugs ASAP.

London Drugs may also have Jazz & Tracks! Someone reported buying them at the Hastings London Drugs near the PNE. Take a look if you haven't found them yet.

Wave 2 Deluxe DOTM has been found @ Lougheed Wal-Mart, though no Topspin's sadly. (And honestly, you guys couldn't have saved one? I could have really used a bit of cheering up last night, or at least something to make the whole trip down there after work worth it.)

No word if they got Wave 2 Voyagers, though the fact that I didn't find any extras lying around leads me to conclude they either didn't get them, or they sold out of all of them.

Forgot to mention it earlier, but Metro TRU has Wave 2 Deluxe DOTM, too...or at least they did as of Saturday.

Has anyone found Beast Wars Season 1 on retail? It was supposed to be out this week, but no store near me has it.

Haven't seen it but I didn't know it was supposed to be out, so I'll keep an eye out for it now.

Lansdowne TRU had lots of Wave 2 DOTM Deluxes at closing today, including at least 3 Topspins. Some Leaders on sale as well.

It was supposed to be, yeah. But unfortunately, from what I've been able to find out, retail outlets around here have apparently decided to ship it out here by the slowest way possible, meaning we won't get it till next week.

DOTM Wave 2 Voyagers have showed up at Metro TRU today.

&$%^! Any chance they'll still have Shockwave there on the weekend?

Very likely, according to a TRU employee they supposedly got 30 cases in the shipment. But I don't know how many they put out, so it could just be a shelf full of Skyhammers by that time. Maybe they'll be willing to get one from the back for you if that's the case. I'll have to wait, since I neither have the time nor money right now.

I would like to think so, because I'm going to go check out Coquitlam TRU after work. And if it isn't there, I'd rather be thankful for that rather than go to Metrotown.
