After we reported that Generations has hit Italian retail we received word that the line has also hit US retail. More specifically they were sighted at a ToysRus in Scranton Pennsylvania.
So you might want to have a look at your local toy-store and see if Generations has also hit your neighbourhood.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your Transformers related news!

Checking local TRU's this weekend, since that seems the popular place for Gen-line to appear...

AGH! I was just at Wal-Mart two days ago....but I think they were clearing the shelves for Generations as I saw next to no ROTF stuff, it was all empty.

I picked up Drift yesterday at TRU. I thought everyone knew they were starting to show up or I would have posted yesterday. Drift is one of the best deluxes I've ever seen! Extremely poseable, great alt mode, near perfect representation of his comic appearance in bot mode.

Check my TRU today and no sign of Generations, but I was surprised to see they restocked wave 1 of the ROTF Fast Action Battlers, I mean it's nothing to go crazy after, but I haven't seen those since last fall. Must have been a leftover case.

Quick question about Gen-line and HFTD line, was there a street date for both of these lines to be released? or their just coming out whenever?

The TRU near me had 3 left from a whole case when I got there. They had Thrust, WFC Prime, and Bumblebee. I bought all three.

Thrust is amazing. He is, by far, the best looking seeker. The paint job on him is fantastic. The deep burgandy with dark grey and gold accents really looks nice. He also seems heavier than the other seekers. Also, his joints are VERY tight. The last Starscream was super floppy, but Thrust joints are tight to the point that you feel like you are pushing too hard.

I haven't opened Prime and Bumblebee yet. I will do that later.

That's weird, after looking at Silverbot's pics (congrats on the finds btw) I could have sworn that Optimus and Bumblebee are supposed to have WFC sticker on the front. Or am I missing it?

If you look in the VSD, the stickers applied to the front will vary. I'm assuming it is targeted marketing for either the video game or the new Hub network based on each wave release, or geo-demographical distribution.

Anyway, I need to shake up some cash for these...anyone looking for an '85 Ultra Magnus with unapplied stickers? (j/k...please don't punish me for a sales listing!!!)

I see, that makes sense. The one I ordered from amazon came with the WFC sticker.

Darn it. Checked my TRU today, and the shelves are totally stocked...with stuff from LAST FALL. Arrgh. No Generations in sight. There was an ENTIRE END CAP of Cybertron mode Ratchets tho, with some Jazz's, Soundwaves, and others thrown in.

ETA: For reference I'm in Eugene, OR.

Nothing from here(Colorado Springs) but an Arcee restock(which seems silly, since they already had 9 Ratchets shelfwarming).

So I went back to my local TRU and see if there was probabilites of more Generation toys or PCC. Turns out that the full stock of toys that they had on Friday, is now "OUT OF STOCK" I mean these toys went out like "hot cakes". I was hoping to find more and was actually planning on buying extras to keep around as MISP. All out of stock. All they have is ROTF toys. BORING now!! I get sick and tired of showing up to TRU and seeing over a dozen of Tuner Mudflaps..UGH!! So annoying. I've gone to different TRU around my area and that's all I see "Tuner Mudflap"!!! Sick of it!! :BANG_HEAD:

It'll still be a while before these hit the stores in Nebraska. Why can't Hasbro get a simultaneous release date for stores across the country like they did for the movie lines?

Got Drift, Bumblebee and Optimus on Saturday.

Bumblebee is probably my favorite, something about him just wows me.

Optimus is really complex and has game accuracy like I've never seen before. If he had his axe, it'd be like crawled out of your screen.

Drift...not so much. He's not terrible, I like his weapons, I like the chest transformation. So simple, yet works so well.

But his head looks like Cheetor's, hid transformation is simplistic, and he's got wasted potential. The kibble could've been put to good use, but it just hangs there and looks a bit dopey.

I was finally able to find Generations in TRU today, although it was just a lone Optimus and Bumblebee, but I'm not complaining as those were the onse I wanted to pick up first.



I just thought I'd post a comparison pic of the Optimus I bought from TRU today (on the left)and the one I bought to keep MOC from Amazon (on the right). I know it's not a big difference, but I do like that a WFC sticker was included, but has anyone found those with the WFC sticker at retail? The Bumblebee I bought today didn't have one either.

Went to TRU in Eugene, OR today, and they had PCC's, HFTD, and...one lone, sad WFC OP. Spoke to a helpful employee named Keith about my quest for Drift, and he went and looked in the stock room for me, but said they'd only gotten OPs and Bumblebees. :(

And of course I'd already gotten fed up with waiting and purchased Smolder and Ratchet online, and I'm still waiting for them to arrive. Arrrrgh. Oh well.

al the WFC at my TRU had both stickers on the package. It may have simply been that the first few didn't get their sticker.

Hey, I didn't want to start a new thread because of this, but...

Has anyone noticed how BAD the Generations Thrust instructions are? Compare the back of the packaging to the instructions. They're not even close!


Alt mode:
Instructions - Fans are on the bottom-side of his tail fins.
Cardback - They're on top of his main wings.


Robot Mode:
Instructions - Fans are on his ankles.
Cardback - Fans are behind his shoulders, on his wings.


WTF? Nice attention to detail, Hasbro!

The instructions also skipped the who "flipping the wings up" process. No biggie, though. The only reason I even looked at the crappy sheet was to see what the "official" positioning of the tail fins were, in robot mode, to see if I'd like them that way... and the instructions don't even mention them...
