Well I'll be.

That wave just started hitting retail again as it got shortchanged when the AoE stuff started coming out.

wtf hasbro

Well, the Snarl wave was spotted in Quebec, so I am sure its coming your way soon. Slog and Drift havent been spotted anywhere. Are there any other dinos you never saw?

That was my exact first reaction.

I scrambled to catch up on this wave when I saw them on hasbrotoyshop.com because I thought I'd never see them again. Good news was I hit one of those latest sweet sales they had. So I won anyway.
I saw Legends Tailpipe and Scrapnel at Target 3 days ago. Thought that was an oddity as well.

If you prefer apples but don't like oranges, good for you. However, don't dismiss the fact that many people like oranges and some kind or oranges are better than others.

One step changers arent oranges, they're prunes. Even the kids dont want them. They only get bought when parents buy them as suprise gifts. When the kids get to choose they choose the big boy figures every time.

Prunes, eh? That would explain why it's us old farts who're buying them. Darn whippersnappers don't know a good thing when they have it.

An' get offa ma lawn!

Seibertronian Cdavid3 sent us an email saying he spotted the wave at a Target in Fremont, CA. This wave contains Hot Shot, Snarl and Bumblebee. If you have a new toy sighting and want to get the word out to fellow collectors, you can email your new sightings to sightings@seibertron.com or use the Contact Us link at the top of the page.

So, no Snarl in that picture too right? How are people faster than us fanboys at picking him up?

One word: Scalpers.

Let them have it!
Soon enough, that shayt will be everywhere and those fawkers will have lots of 20$ figures in hand that they wont be able to get rid of.

I'm not saying they don't exist, but I don;t think they're as omnipresent as people like to think.

It is also possible that the Lime Dino just have the short end of the stick in the case ratio.

most of the time, its probably just fortunate fans. we all know how often us fans check out the popular TF hotspots. quite often ill stumble on a new case of something, when two days ago the same shelf was bare. so its likely i was one of the first to find them. the first few cases any given new wave dissappear fast, it cant always be scalpers.
