    Rumor has it in the next 2-3 weeks maybe. My guess he should be available before Christmas so it's not that long :)

    the way some stores restore shelves, who knows? they only restock when they need to obviously but rather than pay attention to whats on shelf, they just open case and grab.

    The Dark of the Moon line is meant to finish up in December. So unless he's postponed until the Movie Trilogy line, he should be out before New Year's, and hopefully Christmas.

    The one I work at is overstocked with Generations figures on all the DOTM pegs, so we haven't restocked Deluxes in a while >.>

    man, I wish I could get to your store! My main focus right now is the generations line. I've had difficulty obtaining a Universe Prowl, so I'm hoping they release one is this line. I just can't aford 30-40 dollars for a figure with a bad paint job:D

    I hope DOTM gets finished. The movies have always been a weak vehicle for selling a year's worth of toys.

    Your store's count just needs to be reset. If you know how to do an item search, see how many there are in the system.. if the system still thinks you have enough quantity, it will not order more. An LOD should be able to correct the count if you point this out to them. In theory, your overstock of Generation figures should not affect a DotM restock. If your store's research team thinks they are the same item DPCI, that's where the problem is. They tend to just scan what is on that peg, not checking to see if what is there is the correct item.

    never, he will probably get cancelled like the last wave of the target scouts....and will end up "discovered in chinese warehouses" in the next few years like they were.

    So what actual facts can you provide to substantiate your claim? Or is this your opinion based upon your previous shopping experience?:bay

    Shadow has said that wave 6 (or is it 7? Anyway, the one with Soundwave and Wheeljack), along with Leadfoot, should be showing up in stores some time in the next few weeks.

    Scheduled to finish in December, but brace yourself, you're going to see DOTM toys for a long time on the pegs/shelves. Prime is only scheduled for March you know. Stores won't be in a hurry to put out all the new stuff before Xmas, they have to last until at least March and probably beyond. Why do you think we just got Warpath and Wheeljack even though they've been available elsewhere for a long time?

    the fact that it is a store exclusive that has failed to be listed or stocked.

    end of story.

    just like the target exclusive scouts.

    Clarification: the two-pack is listed in the system. It's "Out of stock" or "Not available" everywhere.

    Do you have a DPCI number for these? If so, please share. I have a knack for harassing the toy dept manager during my scavenger hunts!:thumbs2:

    Leadfoot will be mine, I keep hearing rumors that he is coming sooner than you may think.
