TFW2005 boards member cdavid3 has dropped by to let us know that he sighted the Transformers Generations Legends Gears and Acid Storm figures at a Target in Fremont, CA.
Keep an eye out for these little guys at your local retailers if you’re interested in them!

There is something worth mentioning: Acid Storm's nosecone, feet (not the heels, though), tailwings and rudders, are soft plastic, as well as Venin's (Bugly's) legs, arms, stinger/gun post, and the wing sections.
Just a little FYI for everyone.

Aint that the truth! Still waiting for Cosmos and Skrapnel to show up. Did see Nemesis and Cliffjumper though

You bastards Hasbro distribution! (shakes fist in the air with rage)
I have yet to find Tailgate wave OR Nemesis wave in Connecticut! Damn you CT, we're supposed to be civilization!!!
Nevermore
Comic book stores and one-off specialty stores don't qualify as "general retail" in the Walmart/Target/Toys"R"Us/Kmart sense.

These have already started showing up out here in Virginia Beach, VA. I picked mine up locally on Thursday the 18th..

What irritates me most about these.. is my target skipped right over the previous wave, and now have this wave! Grrrr
Curium
Well it isn't walmart, but a local store got them in on the 11th and I didn't know it was news. Went and found their Facebook post about it for proof.

And that kind of bugged me. This figure is an ok Gears, but I would like a figure that matched its artwork

Wonder if he and the others in that lineup for next year are gonna have partners?

I just got home from grabbing my Acid Storm from Target in Minnesota. So cool. Now I can't wait for Thundercracker.

High Five!
Sounds like a great idea.
(a-la Hilary Banks from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air): Who is this Venin person I keep hearing about?
BlueAngel_Bolt
Wow. And here I have yet to see Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime in my area.

I wish they had changed their partners like they did with Nemesis and Cliffjumper. I'm definitely going to grab Acid Storm but I don't want anything resembling Waspinator in my home. If only they had at least coloured Venin green and orange like the original Venom. I'm going to pretend he's Bugly instead.

not a particular gears fan…but gotta say that is pretty spot on color and head wise.
very cool..

this Generations line a thus far had card or box art that is faith-full to the toy it comes with.
enter Gears and his card art… (sigh)

Oh sweet Gears and Acid Storm are out in the states.
I hope to be picking you guys up next month when I go to the states.

My local Target never went beyond the first wave. They restocked it a week ago. Missed Shrapnel and Tailgate at a WM (my local WM does not even carry the Generation Legends).
Should've ordered online.

It's almost as though these guys don't have enough margin for the retailers to care to stock them… Notice the expensive, big ticket TFs hit the shelves on time, but these little guys?
I'd much rather find them local, but I'm gonna ring that "probably end up getting these online" bell, too!
