I'll probably get Deluxe Crankcase and Bumblebee (not the Nitro version). As for Voyagers, Optimus Prime and Shockwave are on my list. However, I'm not sure if I should go 4 Mechtech or Cyberverse. I might decide to get the Megatron and Optimus trailer sets. Any help people?
Bumblebee3
It was my pleasure hunting is fun and it feels good to help fellow collectors.
Suchus Prime
Lucky guy my small town still has no dotm figures so I am going to just say they won't be selling them. Anyone got an extra topspin and roadbuster they don't mind selling?

AHH!

I managed to find the Scout class Blackout and Powerglide yesterday at Walmart. Today I found Topspin at the local Target, who finally put out DOTM toys, but it looked like maybe 1 case of Wave 1, and 1 case of Wave 2.
I must say, I only saw the normal HA's at one store. It doesn't even seem like they DON'T have room, because they still have the open space for them…
ersico
went to one of my walmarts and this one had by far the most toys

And shiny metallic paint, new head and battle hooks.
Quixote_Prime
I've nabbed Topspin and Roadbuster for the boy and myself.
And the repaint HFTD Prime w/Comettor (sp?). Love the crazy colors and earthrise.
Shockwave and Powerglide.
And…I'm done. Prob. get Leadfoot in whatever form nets me a little robo doggie.

I'm really impressed with what I've gotten so far which includes Voager Megatron, Shockwave, Skyhammer, DLX Topspin, Roadbuster, Crankcase, Leader Sentinel Prime, and Cyberverse Powerglide. They are all very well put together and a lot of fun to play with.

Voyager, comes w/ an extra figure, Comettor.
Prowl 2009
Starting off with Deluxe Crankcase and Roadbuster and then Leader Sentinel Prime and Cyberverse Commander Powerglide.

What is the Walmart Exclusive Optimus? Is he a voyager, leader
or the deluxe?

I've been using a set of hobby cutters for these. They're used for cutting model parts out of their sprues but they work really well on twist ties too. A snip here and a snip there and the figure is freed from its cardboard and plastic prison.
Dark of the Moon haul so far is:
Cyberverse Commander Powerglide
HA Basic Thunderhead
HA Basic Sandstorm
HA Basic Icepick
Deluxe Topspin
Deluxe Roadbuster
Deluxe Crankcase
Deluxe Barricade
Voyager Megatron
Voyager Shockwave
Leader Sentinel Prime
And that's probably where it'll stay for a little bit. I didn't get more than three figures at the same time, so I didn't get to have a big old haul opening marathon – it's been staggered through the week.

Thanks to Bumblebee3, I no longer have to kill my gas searching God's green Earth for a Shockwave! Very nice dude.
Snark
Prior to this week, I had never bought a single toy above Deluxe class, of which, I have few.
Since then, I've already bought Voyager Ironhide and Shockwave, and am struggling against the very strong urge to get Skyhammer. Something about these damn DotM toys I tell ya…
nathan_s82
I picked up Sentinel Prime earlier than the Street Date. Since the Street Date, I got Voyagers Shockwave, Skyhammer, Megatron, and the Walmart Exclusive Optimus Prime w/ Comettor.
scourge88
I'm ordering Shockwave this morning. I might pick up Skyhammer or Sentinel Prime as well.
Jimmy88
Well boys I am happy to say that one of my beloved family members found the rest of wave 1 for me, so to date of all the stuff that was supposed to be released I am only searching for 2 more and they are out of wave 2….Topspin and Shockwave
kraven
Well I found Shockwave today… at Shopko… And yes, I bent over and took it and paid the $30 they were asking. Happy, butt a little sore. Oh well, out of all the stores in town Shopko was the only place who had'em and now I don't have to drive/call around like a mad man.
On a side note, day 3 since the release of these toys and still 0 of 3 Fred Meyers have anything out. They are missin' out on mad sales….
