Title says it .I use a good part of my time checking sightings threads .other than a tale of a peg warming dragstrip and supposed sightings in south Florida they seem to be mia. Reasons range from manufacturing delays to aoe/bw shelf warming .not including the dock strike as other toys are making it out. But here's my question when will it end and what will we see ? some Online retailers have shown wave three for April . Where are we headed? Wave 2? wave 3 ?a mix? Wave 1 comic repacks? I know there are those more in the know than me so I am throwing it out there

 

I got all my cw online at hasbrotoyshop. com except powerglide. Saved alot of money too! Hunting is overrated

 

Did that with silver bolt glad I did but id like to see what I am buying too

 

This is true. Except when you finally find the figure you're looking for on a peg, it has paint flaws and its the only one left.

 

Nobody knows when it's going to end. Anyone who claims to is a liar. What we DO know.

1) HTS is suppose to get their Wave 2 soon and ship out. BBTS also has their expected date for W2 as tomorrow.
2) BBTS expected date for W3 is April. This may or may not have been updated to reflect the real situation.

 

If wave three ships this month I might pass on wave two till they hit brick and mortar .blades and firstaid would be awesome  

 

I get mine through a specilaist comic shop so I dont have to go hunting. I have most of wave 2 and not to rub salt into the wounds but the stunticon deluxes are awesome

 

Yeah ordering is the logical answer I think it's the little kid in me that remembers fully stocked beautiful toy aisles of the 80s

 

Calling it:

The UK will get them before us  

 

Ireland got them before you lol at least in specialist stores

 

According to the HTS thread, people will get their $12 free express shipping Wave 2 deluxes tommorow/Friday as HTS is beginning to ship them out now

 

Finally found powerglide it will make my a little easier lol

 

It won't.  

 

Tomorrow.

In seriousness though, how are these hard to get at this point? HTS has had them, ALL of them, many many time and usually at a discount.

So why hunt instead of just sitting back, relaxing, and drinking a fine drink while listening to some smooth jazz?

 

Thanks to HTS, I'm actually getting mine tomorrow  

 

Moi aussi.

 

I will probably concede defeat and order a few   there was a skydive spotted in my area today gonna try one more time

 

My Wally has only gotten one case of wave 1 deluxes and the local K-Mart has decided to not carry TFs anymore. Since distribution is already questionable here, I decided at the beginning to start purchasing more online. In fact, every Combiner Wars purchase I have made has been online between BBTS and HTS. It saves time, gas, and money going all over the place constantly hoping to be lucky enough to find just one of the figures I'm looking for.

 

I've seen every figure from wave one at various outlets where I live. I'm not seeing any signs of a drought

 

Guess the drought is over unless you only shop at target lol. The next month or so should be interesting to see while Hasbro is playing catch up. Hope to see protectobots soon .
