    Well, some people ordered the 8 case with Warpath, so some people are still waiting.

    Could someone refresh my memory - what's in RTS wave 2?

    I believe that to be the G2 prime, redeco Bee, Perceptor, and Wreck-gar wave.

    I'd be shocked if we even got those in the US at this point.

    That's what i thought. I got those all at retail. They were hitting like gangbusters at Targets here a couple months ago, but restocks seem to have dried up.

    I'm in Seattle and we've had RtS Wave 2 for months now. Only no sight whatsoever of the Legend, Scout, or Voyager cases. So basically just Deluxes.

    As far as Generations goes, I'm just irked by the fact that the case assortment with 2 Kups, 2 Scourges went by in a flash and I'm now stuck seeing the leftovers of the next case assortment everywhere with Thunderwings, Skullgrins, and WFC pegwarming everywhere. It's tough trying to find two more "Sweeps".

    That's not true. we got the second wave of generations first, and I believe we got MP grimmy fairly early.

    Similar story here. My local Wal-Marts only had wave 1 of Generations and HftD until very recently and they're still pretty behind. I saw wave 1 of the RtS deluxes at Target...once, and it was only Fallback and Mindset. There are many toys from all of these lines I've never seen in person. The tiny windows where this stuff has been on the likes of HTS, Amazon, and ToysRUs.com have been the only thing really keeping me in the game. I know the movie stuff will most likely be on time here, so any releases from the last few months through July being "skipped" wouldn't surprise me.

    I feared this would happen, which is why I went through great lengths to get them online.

    Smooth move Walmart, by the way. The endcaps of DOTM Preview Primes are really blowing out the door.

    Eyeroll.

    This is double bad news. The not ordering Generations/RTS during this time of the year I expected but if the big boxes are ordering a ton of DOTM now then that means just a bunch of Wave 1 that'll shelfwarm which is bad because that lessens the chance of Hasbro sneaking Generations/RTS molds into wave 5 or 6 of DOTM.

    well lucky for us here in new zealand we got fore warned about this way before cristmis we got told retailers wont be bringing in any rts stuff and we wont be seeing any genrations past skullgrain so all us collectors that are on the transformersnewzealand.com got together and did mass ordering off web pages

    the only reason we where able to do this is cause hasbro new zealand gives us infomation when we ring them up and they tell us what the retailers are upto it also help we have some awsome board members who help each other :D 

    but besides this i hate it when they flood with nothing but wave 1 and 2 stuff we seem to get both waves at the same time to begin with

    No surprise here, especially so close to the release of the movie stuff. I'm looking at buying only 4-5 DOTM toys max, so my wallet will be really happy this year.

    In mid-Indiana the Generations assortments are going good. RTS wave 2 showed up at TRU for all of a day, and I wasn't fast enough to get anything but a Bumblebee.

    Surprisingly, all the Preview Primes at my Wal-Mart are gone. The Generations stuff they put out with them are now pegwarming.
