.... I just assumed these would be skipped.
This distribution is SUCH a mess. Like... It's always had it's bad points since I started collecting... But this is just awful.

Can confirm. I found and purchased a single pair of Landmine and Submaurader at the Meijer and Mooresville, IN. I had seen a case there during the initial run, but that was bought out. This was very likely a restock and not returned merch.

All of Wave 2 will be restocked sooner or later, if we are to believe Hasbro's Facebook post. I'm glad, I want my Volcanicus to be completed,not to mention I got a Sinnertwin and Pretenders lacking team mates

I was going there to pick up Battleslash & Roadtrap. I wasn't expecting to find them. I got my mom to let me get both.

Well that is something. Bravo for them acknowledging the shortage. Whether or not this comes to fruition with retailers is another story but...at least it's something. Unlike TR Deluxe wave 5...no explanation for that...

Sinnertwin? No, I meant Rippersnapper
Since Wave 3 is shipping, anyone attempted an Abomenaticus or Destron Super Scramble?

Anybody have a link to Hasbro's Face Book post? Maybe it was news and I missed it. Been off the grid for a minute.
I'd like to see what they said, and don't face space.

It's not on the front page, rather it's in the post with the Wave 3 Terrorcon announcements:

I originally found mine at freaking Kroger, and have seen none since.
KROGER, for crying out loud.
Ugh.

That might be the best thing I've read all day. I like that the didn't just say Deluxe either because there's still a bunch of stuff I need from this wave.

You can't say Hasbro doesn't listen to us, as this statement we now have clearly shows. The Official Transformers Facebook page was flooded with comments regarding the lack of Power of the Primes Wave 2 product in stores. This was in response to Hasbro posting that Wave 3 was coming soon, leaving many fans worried that Wave 2 was going to be skipped by the stores they frequent.
Hasbro saw all these comments and responded in the same facebook thread with the following:
There are a few things to take note here. Firstly, this just refers to the US, specifically. Also, while this is good news, Hasbro had given the same statement regarding the Seige of Cybertron set from Titans Return last year, which never did get restocked by the exclusive retailer, BBTS.
The big takeaway here is that Hasbro does indeed listen to us and try to comfort us every way they can. Our distribution woes are not getting unnoticed.

Hey does anyone have issues with Rippersnapper not closing the back of his legs in shark mode? I am having real trouble here.

As in like, the front and back halves of his shins don't close up fully in shark mode? Yeah mine has the same problem. It helps a bit to make sure that the "fronts" of his shins (on the back in shark mode) are pegged in; the kneepads nestle into the shark's back very particularly and that makes a world of difference to the gap. But sadly, I've not yet found a way to close the gap completely.

Just don't go making fun of Rippersnapper's thigh gap. He's VERY sensitive about that nowadays.

That's all fine and good... But when they were NOT stocking Wave 2, we (or at least I -) got an ASSton more Wave 1. So... Now those are all just going to shelf-warm like crazy.

In other words, Hb dropped the ball again with their finely tuned distribution system which other folks hereabouts were so quick to deny it's existence.
