    After Demonicon's Tidal Wave sighting, I decided to call around to the three Target stores nearest me. One didn't have it, another said all they had was the Transformers Armada toy... yeah, okay. And the third didn't pick up the phone. Looks like I'll be making the rounds tomorrow.

    Called around to the Tacoma, Puyallup, and Lakewood Target stores again yesterday (the wife's been ill this weekend, so I did'nt want to leave her). Puyallup said that they had Tidal Wave and he was $6.84 - turned out the person was looking at the Sea Team. Lakewood didn't have him and I got a lecture from the Tacoma store about how these are collectibles and that even if they had the toy, they wouldn't hold it and that they won't check their backstock either. All I wanted to know was if Tidal Wave was on the shelf. And since when are TFs so collectible that they won't hold them? Shenanigans, I say. Shenanigans!

    I got Tidal Wave at the Factoria Target on Saturday morning.....It was the only one, though. They had plenty of Rhinoxes and Terrorsaurs and one Airrazor as well.

    I took some pics and put them on my site:

    And yes...he is *THAT* freaking cool.

    Thanks fro the pics, Dusty. Makes me want Tidal Wave even more than ever, ecen more than Unicron.

    Tell me, the picture of him in base form: http://home.comcast.net/%7Eturbutter3/tw15.jpg Is this in the instructions or something you came up with since it's the first time I think I've seen this configuration.

    Additionally, I will be at CybCon this weekend, so if anyone going can bring one of these to display, it woul dbe greatly appreciated. I hope to find one before then, but I have my doubts I will.

    Isn't Tidal Wave supposed to have a mode where he connects with Megatron/Galvatron?

    awesome pix, d00d!
    :ROCK

    it's funny, seeing him covered with minicons, it's hard for me to not wish he'd been superbase size class, so that his aircraft carrier was closer to scale with the minicons... he'd be freakin' huge though, if he was.

    the would have had to rework the megsatron combo, but that's a bit sketchy/thrown together in my eyes anyway...

    I picked up Tidal Wave on Saturday at the Woody Target after reading Demonicon's post (thanks man :D ) And WOW is this guy not only cool, but HUGE too!!!

    And since Tidal Wave has been hitting, can this mean Overload isn't far behind?

    Who will be at Cybcon this Saturday :)

    If I recall, overload and Skywarp showed up in HK about 2-4 weeks behind Tidal Wave, so I would expect a similar gap over here :D 

    On a sadder note, I don't think I can make it Saturday - My car got t-boned in an intersection this weekend:cry  between dealing with and paying for costs associated with that, and packing to move the weekend after, I'm pretty screwed.

    And I was going to show up bright and early for an exclusive, too!!!

    If you still wanna go, PM me!!! :thumb :

    I'll be drooling over that Overlord, just to warn you. It's my Holy Grail of the TF toys. Sadly, I doubt I'll ever be able to afford it.
