Though the figures are not yet registering on Kmart and Walgreeens' computers, they are on the shelves and available to be bought.

Kmart surprises me, but Walgreens, ironically, doesn't. For some reason they got in the most recent HFTD scout wave randomly, when they had no deluxes and a few legends Mudflaps. I'll have to go check my local stores.

is this confirmed nationwide, or in just a few cities?

Hello fellow Ohioan! I'd say you're lucky. My area only has wave 1 and ROTF rejects. Except for my local Kohl's oddly, which has wave 2 HFTD deluxes and PCC 2 packs, but that's about all.

Kmart in Quincy, IL has them, as does Walgreens in Columbus OH. And I can personally confirm that Walgreens in San Francisco has them.chrisc4 wrote:is this confirmed nationwide, or in just a few cities?

It's just too bad that both those stores overcharge for figures compared to Target and Wal-Mart. Walgreens I can understand since they are not your standard discount department store, but Kmart is.

I can confirm that K-Mart has them from Parkersburg, WV to Athens, Ohio.
Unfortunately, we haven't received Generations wave 3 though.

Thanks to Matt Booker's Kmart sighting, I lucked out and found two complete sets at the Kmart in Des Plaines, IL. And ol' Primus must've been watching out for me as well ... I got them for Kmart's sale price of $7.99 each. Guess we know which figures I'll be doing galleries of next!

WOW! Exellent find Seibs! I really wish they would hit the Northern VA area. I've been hunting for them like crazy at Targets, Walmarts, Toys R Us's but with no luck. I'll have to check out my local K Mart today and hope I get lucky

FYI ... I took the sale sticker that said "Transformers Movie figures $7.99 reg $11.99" from the peg they were on up to the cash register with me because Matt Booker said in his email to us this morning that they weren't in the computer system. I would've gladly paid $11.99 for them but they rang them up at the $7.99 sale price.

Well, they're being sighted around here of all places, so I can readily assume that they've had the stock the whole time, they just weren't putting it out until Black Friday. Seriously, we usually don't get anything new until about a month after everyone else.

Yeah it seems like for once Kmart (of all places) played their cards right. Good for them.

Anything I should make sure I pay attention to when I'm doing the galleries for Tracks and Jazz? I know Jazz has his speaker mode/attachments, I read that Tracks has the wing deployment in vehicle mode but I'll have to look that up. Anything else I should really watch for that's most likely not documented in the instructions?

Well, I haven't been to my only local Kmart in two or three years maybe, but last time I was there they didn't have much, but maybe I should check back again.
But with Generations it is very hard to find post wave 1 stuff. There's no way I'm going for ebay though. I guess I'll wait to see if anything shows up. I really want Blurr and Dirge, though.

Any reason why you guys don't buy them online from ToysRUs.com, Target.com, HasbroToyShop.com, or sites like BBTS.com, TFsource.com, etc?
Do you guys participate in the Toy Sightings forum to find out where other fans are finding them in your area? If anyone went to the Kmart where I found these, they wouldn't find a whole lot of new stuff other than Battle Blades Optimus Prime so if they didn't visit Seibertron.com, they wouldn't know that that store had 8 brand spankin' new figures earlier this morning in stock before I cleared them out.

I was floored that I found them at the K-Mart here in town. I got the only Jazz figure for $8, passed on Mindset and Fallback, but couldn't find Tracks...I scoured the whole toy section in the hopes that maybe some kid picked him up and set him down somewhere else or that he was buried under those Zhu-Zhu Hamsters nearby...no luck.

Thanks! I forgot to check the Toys R Us site. I don't think Target had anything last time but I'll check. Hasbro is pretty much sold out of the popular stuff like Blurr and Dirge.
I do usually check the sightings forum, but I believe I am the only one in my county that contributes, and there aren't even any stores in my area in the store listings, so I usually have to go around once a week to all the stores myself.
