Good news everyone! The latest wave of IDW comics inspired Transformers Generations Deluxes are appearing at US retail. This latest assortment, Generations 2.0 Deluxe Wave 6 or if you prefer IDW Comics Deluxe Assortment Wave 2, adds a Cybertronian Thundercracker and a Classics style Hoist into the mix. Thundercracker is a straight-up redeco of Fall of Cybertron Starscream for your Fall of Cybertron Seeker trio, while Hoist is a retooled and redecoed Trailcutter with a new head and a new weapon. The pair were found in Wal-Mart in Waynseboro Pennsylvania.
Happy hunting everyone!

Yeah. The quality of this line is equal to or greater than the past few waves we've gotten. Excellent designs, same quality plastics, fantastic articulation, and yes, about the same size as we've been getting.
Definitely worth between $10-12.
Targets and Wal Marts dropped their deluxes back down to the $12.99 price point. With the holidays coming up you can bet you'll see more and more on sale.

Complaining about the IDW Releases! Really!?
Now, for the prior comments regarding the lesser quality of this IDW line compared to the prior Generations releases, well that is just ridiculous (imo). First off, the size and quality of these figures is equal to, if not greater than the prior releases from the FOC line (Series 1). The Generations line as a whole has seen a slight decrease in size from its earlier release, primarily noted during the War for Cybertron releases. However, if you compare the prior Seekers releases to the new FOC Seekers; the FOC Seekers are actually taller than the prior line.
Bottom line, the decrease in size is fairly minimal, except for a few glaring instances like the WFC Prime compared to his FOC counterpart. However, this newly released IDW Series have incredible articulation with improved transformations. They have not reduced in size compared to Series 1, and they have not reduced in quality (the plastic used is the very same). In summary there were no reductions made in order to balance the additional Comic included… You simply received an awesome book included with your figure!!!
If you don't believe me, then here are a few photos for comparison!

More IDW Wave 2 Sightings!! (Folsom, Ca)
I went to the Walmart in Folsom Ca yesterday (Sunday, Aug. 25th) and I was lucky enough to find Wave 2 there. Finally, the IDW Generations can be found at Walmart! As early as mid July, some of the Target locations in the Sacramento area started to receive Wave 1 of the IDW Generations figures. However, the Walmart's in the Sacramento area never seemed to receive Wave 1… Luckily, both Wave 1 and 2 are being shipped together. The Folsom Walmart store still has 1x BumbleBee, 1x TrailCutter, and 1x Megatron left on the shelves. I'm sorry to say that I may have picked up the last ThunderCracker and Hoist (unless they have some in the back).

Well, our Walmarts will never see these as all of them have been getting nothing but the fucking Wreckers. That is all I have been seeing.

Went yesterday to Hanford, CA.
Saw exactly what the guy posted earlier, which is a case.
2x Hoist, 2x Thundercracker, 1x Orion Pax, 1x Bumblebee, 1x Trailcutter, 1x Megatron.
Funny how few they put out!
Anyone, scooped up Orion, Thundercracker, and Trailcutter.
Really wanted to get Megatron and Bumblebee but they aren't that cool looking.
Gonna agree with the guy about. These should be about $8 maybe. They're super cheap feeling and way flimsy! But look really cool. Got some nice articulation, too.
Stune
Peoria, AZ Walmart got them in.
One case of Wave 4.
Thundercracker's nice.

Fwiw, the Wally's I got Hoisty from has the whole complete set of Generations-IDW dlx's at $12.97 each. Still overpriced, imho.
Quite hilarious how much Hoisty and the others are being priced at online shops right now. Without even including shipping-fee.
Really tragic if somebody actually succumbs to those stupid scalper-overpricing.

Me either until finding these. My Wal-Mart put out Wave 1 for the first time when putting Wave 2 on the pegs. So, keep checking… there's a good chance your local store will put both waves out soon, and at the same time.

Seen a case of them at work yesterday…for some reason a coworker was taking them to the back. I was off so I couldn't officially question as to why he was doing that. But I wanted to hit him…but my credit card thanked him.
