    Yeh. My local comic store had all four Wave 1 toys now they've only got Thrust and Drift.

    hold it, i think Thrst is the most demanded figure out of the entire case, i fully expect him to become impossible to find sadly....every person like me who finds the botcon and henkei seekers too expensive is clamoring for that thrust

    Plus only Toys R Us and Kmart has had them in stock. It will be easier to find them once Walmart & Target begin putting them on the shelves.

    I have noticed that TRU is a lot better at getting toys first.

    Much faster than Walmart and even faster than Target.

    Also from a personal experience, I got my WFC Bumblebee and Prime along with Drift almost 3 weeks ago at TRU.

    They also had a few Thrusts, but I didn't pick him up.

    I got my Drift from my Toys R Us soon after I read that it had been spotted in Texas. A week later, when I got back to Toys R Us, WfC Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were the only Generations toys on the shelves (and I had to snag the last Optimus Prime, too).

    Mudflap is a disease. He's pegsitting in every store in my town. A guy at TRU told me they haven't been getting new shipments of Transformers because, as he believes, Mudflap is a massive burden. I hate Mudflap. I hate him so good.

    The only Generations figures I've seen down here in Orlando are WFC Prime and Bumblebee. And those sold out in a single day. It feels as though my area is really starved for new figures. Haven't even seen any HFTD or PCCs around here.

    Hope I'll have the money when I do see a Drift/Thrust. Both of them are immediate Buy On Site items, for me. Though, if I miss out on either, it's not a real biggie since both molds will be essentially resold in the form of Dirge and Blurr. (Even though they're both remolds)

    Awesome.

    i have to keep telling myself that all the stuff i am waiting for will be that belated b-day gift of awesome.

    it aches a little, i get the shakes; the DT's from not having a fresh hit off the toy pipe can keep me up at night, but it won't hurt me. permanently.
    oh, i become a cranky asshole to friends and loved ones as i pillage the Tuner Mudflaps and Sideways figs looking to score, but it will be all over soon.
    BBTS, they tell me!

    and then i get to say, "But I'm feeling much better now..."

    oh ok, my bad then, I didn't realize there's such problem here. Thing is, I imported 3 sealed case myself and none of them had this kind of problem.

    Either there's some screw up in the factory, or something else

    Or they changed the case to get the WFC toys out first to go with the game?

    Yeap. And just think knowing that you missed by mere hours and going checking the boards that one person in the area bought two of everything the day before and that day at the TRU that is 40 mins away from ya.

    I can wait for the time being but damn man really two of everything two days in a row?

    But once my local Wal-Mart gets them I will be sent. Being out in the boonies no one ever comes here.

    No idea to be honest, but it's worth remembering that there are 2 different Forbidden Planet. One is just Fobidden Planet and the other one is Forbidden Planet International.

    FP tends to import more stock than FPI does.
