    This is some good news! I've wanted that Battle Changer Ratchet vs. Soundwave set. Hopefully that set will also pop up and that they will show up at TJ Maxxs and Ross stores as well.

    I love how all these cancelled Kre-O things end up getting released at discount stores. I've resigned myself to never getting them, then BAM! There they are! :lol 

    What other sets could be next? I'm hoping for that Soundwave one with his minions, at least. Stinger/Nemesis is a long shot, but it'd be awesome. Those historical Kreons would be fun... though I have an awful feeling I'd end up with like a dozen "Dave Guy Optimus Primes" and be unable to find someone to trade with...

    That is bizzare and Yet why hasn't Generations Arcee or Chromia ended up here at these stores?

    Might have to check this out. I'd love to get my hands on a Grimlock battle changer set (if they even have them).

    One of the Marshall's I was at today had the Grimlock battle changer. Another didn't. Could be a situation where some of them are at certain stores, some are at others.

    Not only do we have a shot at getting these, we don't have to pay retail!

    Hoping Ratchet/Soundwave and Blitzwing make it out. Blitzwing's the same wave as Shockwave. Don't know if the two-packs were released together.

    Is anyone willing to buy me some of these and mail them to me? I'll reimburse you for the retail price + shipping. Don't know exactly which sets are available, but I'd want all the different ones.

    Stopped this morning and picked up Hound, Shockwave, and the Ratchet/Soundwave 2-pack all for $7.99 each. Which is a tad odd considering the two pack costs just as much as a single one. But if anyone can find the Grimlock battle changer and wants to trade or sell me one feel free to message me. :) 

    Also found the RID Bumblebee set with Bisk and Clampdown for $9.99, didn't buy it but thought it was worth mentioning.

    I found the BB with Bisk and bought 1. No Battle Changers, I'm looking specifically for Hound and Shockwave.

    Because Generations is still an active SKU, that wave was just made in smaller quantities.

    Kre-O stuff is dead at retail and the big retailers don't have active SKUs for it, so the leftover product ends up at the discount chains.

    I picked up the Hound and Shockwave sets on Saturday. The Op vs. Megs set was tempting, but left it.
