Transformers Generations Deluxe 2014 Wave 2 Sighted at Retail

Sweet! Tax time is just around the corner. Hoping to at least snag Scream and the combiners.

I'm passing on the Starscream as well, however I will be getting his repaint coming out. Scoop for sure and perhaps Skywarp.

With Hasbro, Wave numbers are reset after New Year's. Technically speaking this is Wave 4 total, but only Wave 2 for 2014.

I only want the combiner and Skywarp.

I don't like the mold that much either, but I have to have all 3 seekers, and Skywarp is my favorite of the three.

Not to argue semantics, but shouldn't this be 2014 Wave 1? I found Skids, Dreadwing, Waspinator and Goldfire at TRU last year, in early December. I know others did, too.

Ahhhh. Noted.

Picked up the whole wave today at a Target in the Bronx (225th St).

I'm super impressed with Scoop & Starscream. Skywarp is what you would expect, but I like that deco much better than the recent Thundercracker and FOC Starscream. Jury's out on the Mini-Con team.

EDIT-1: I really, really hope they repaint Scoop, give him a new head and call him Scrapper.

EDIT-2: I just stood Armada SS next to Generations Skywarp & Thundercracker, and they look great together. I like this Seeker configuration a whole lot better than having all 3 be FOC Seekers.

It may be the first wave to hit retail in 2014, but the actual packaging literally says "SERIES 02". Any way you cut it, the naming/numbering is confusing.

The Tankor/Rattrap/Crosscut wave is Series 03.

I don't know what Series 04 is, but according to BBTS Series 05 is going to be Waspinator, Scoop, Aree and Chromia.

Once again, Series 04 is Jhiaxus (Armada Starscream retool), Nightbeat (Jazz Retool) and Windblade. Funnily enough, it seems to have switched dates with Series 05, I'm assuming because of Windblade needing more time.

Hah! Find any generation at retail in Brazil, I dare you!

Where's Cosmos and Swerve? I have checked Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and so far bupkis.
