    Ran into the Hasbro rep at Target Natomas while I was on lunch and asked her about SW, TF and ML. I told her the pegs at Walmart and Target have all been the same for SW and TF and she said that neither of those two stores in Natomas (WM and Target) had anything to put out, she didn't say when/if they would but she at least acknowledged the area was in a drought for new product.
    I asked her about ML Infinity Wars stuff, nothing to put out at Target but she said she put some stuff out at Walmart a little while earlier.
    I would assume she is making her rounds to all area stores today though.

    I have yet to see the last two dinos at any b&m store. Only specialty shops and online.

    I got the last Hungurr from Walmart Rosemead. Nothing else there.

    Yikes. Wonder what happened that those two stores that they have been bare for so long. Heck most of the stores around here have been lacking new stuff.

    I only asked about those two stores because she was there at Target and mentioned that she was just at the Walmart up the street. I hit these stores on my lunch breaks a couple times a week because it's right by work but the situations at all area stores has been pretty much the same in terms of what's out on the pegs.

    This feels like the same delay we got for that one wave with Krok, Quake, Perceptor, Kup, and Topspin. I still need to track down a Moonracer and the two prime master guys from wave 2.

    Wave 3 isn't til around fall right?

    I haven't heard any timeline for Wave 3, only that POTP is supposed to be shorter than both CW and TR were. Nothing is known beyond Wave 3 anyway. Power of the Primes (toyline) - Transformers Wiki

    Wave 2 hasn't really hit saturation yet so I would be surprised to see Wave 3 before summer.

    We'll get right on that for you! ;) 

    Nothing at West Sac Wally but a couple of Dreadwinds, and a couple of rows of mini-Pretenders.

    Just saw a report that TRU liquidation sales have been postponed due to "unforeseen circumstances"

    Wow, 6 cases of the same figure...I have not seem that anywhere. What I don't understand is that if TRU is really going out of business and liquidating, how can they still be getting new shipments of stuff? Does anyone know if this store was closing from the original wave, or the 2nd wave of all remaining stores?

    No. There was a sign in the entrance that basically said "forget the media hype, we'll tell you when we're having our liquidation sale."

    Don't bother with the Riverside TRU for a bit, went back today to find a RC Sqweeks, TLK Leader Megatron, an opened Dreadwind an unopened Dreadwind, 2 POTP Starscreams, and some Windchargers. Last time i went they said they may or may not get any new Transformers in due to the liquidation.
