    Studio Series is going much longer than just to cause a single wave to be skipped. And it's not the cause of you not finding the figures anyways.

    I'm interested enough in Blot that I would get him as a solo limb. Thankfully I found Hun-Grrr already anyways.

    I thought they would have Hun-Grrr's everywhere....

    I've passed on getting extras of him a couple times after getting one of him..

    Now he's nowhere to be found.

    Hungrrr and Rippersnapper are standing in robot mode waiting on Hasblo to release the remaining 3 Terrorcons so they can transform into Abominus.

    I’ve only seen these 2 in stores once: when I bought each, never to be seen again like the rest of the wave.

    I'll wait for BBTS to get them in if I dont find them at retail. I saw all of the Studio Series wave 1 deluxes at Walmart yesterday, so just gotta wait.

    Not the main cause but certainly a big factor...

    Every store around me did a reset for the summer. Mainly I’ve seen the new Jurassic World, Incredibles II, New Star Wars and Solo movie stuff, Avengers 4, Lego sets, Even Ant-Man and Wasp stuff...

    But for Transformers the only new thing I’ve seen is a shit ton of Studio Series. Now you can’t tell me that if there was no SS there wouldn’t be a restocking item of wave 2 POTP...

    Why wouldn't you? It's not like you will never find him. Shit, end of year you pretty much can find anything.

    I already have the third party set but these look too good to pass up.

    I'll probably pick up a second Blot to repaint as Blip.

    I bit the bullet and got Hun-garr from Amazon for 35 bucks. A bit of a mark up but not terrible. I have Rippersnapper and I might just jump on the 3 other Terrorcon when they go up for pre order. Really getting tired of shitty distribution.

    Not being able to find Hun-Grr :shrug:, didn't plan on buying him anyway. Nothing shall stand in my way from getting Rippersnapper though.

    Rippersnapper is the only one I owned so that is the only thing I'm getting...

    I hope to find Elita-1 in stores, but looks like it is going to be difficult.

    I picked up Hun-Gurrr first (got lucky and found him a couple weeks after he was first sighted). And, I found Rippersnapper a while back as well. I think those two are going to be my favorites from the set, by far...but I'm sure I'll pick up the remaining three as well.

    Im in a weird spot here....I got rippersnapper because it was easier for me to get the whole wave then hunt individually for wave two but I don't plan on getting the rest of the terrorcons.

    Im unsure on if i wanna resell rippersnapper or keep him as a stand alone bot. I find him fun to fiddle with so as of now I have no regrets on the purchase but I still won't get the rest.

    I already found a Hun-grrr, however I'm going to have to exchange him due to a faulty gear tooth that makes his hip (Abominus' shoulder) loose in certain positions when a limb is combined. Finding one to exchange has been rather difficult. However, if the other Terrorcons are just as much fun as Rippersnapper, I would definitely pick up the other three regardless if I could exchange my faulty Hungrrr or not. If push comes to shove, I would just return my Hasbro Hungrrr to Wal-Mart and use the money toward the Takara version as a last resort.

    I already have Hun-grr. Even if I didn't, I would buy the Deluxe Terrorcons. They look like decent enough toys on their own, with unique alt-modes. Plus, CW released more torsos than limb sets, so I could find somebody to give Terrorcon limbs to.

    At ~$50+ USD a pop scalpers are trying to sell Hasbro Hun-grrr for online, I may as well pre-order/buy the identical Takara version at that price if this dry spell keeps up into summer at brick and mortar, or just hope hasbrotoyshop or Amazon gets him in stock. :( 

    Eff'n' scalpers. :mad:  I'm just glad that reputable toy vendors are getting Studio Thundercracker to sell at MSRP bascially.

    I have no intention of paying Takara prices for Hasbro product to an importer.
