I saw shelf tags for the micro changers at Target. Where else are these showing up. I saw wave one at Walgreens but where else?

 

I've seen them at Target and Walgreen s.

Toysrus is like THE spot to find them, they always have them.

Found these yesterday and made sure I got an Acid Wing, then grabbed another 5 random numbers. Ended up with Perceptor, Hoist, Groove, Vehicon, and Lugnut. Next time I find these I'll buy the other 6 for sure.

 

For the 10/12 that I found (missing Acidstorm and Vehicon), these are all really great. Not sure how Bulkhead looks exactly like Hound except for 2 pieces, but whatever.  

 

Has anyone found wave 2 around the Central Jersey/Philly area? If so, let me know which store you found them in!

 

I've seen stickers on the shelves at Targets in South Jersey but never saw any merchandise.

 

Thanks, GMANIFESS. Since reading your post, I too have seen these shelf stickers appear at my two local Targets. Still nothing at any TRUs in my area either. Why does Hasbro do this?? If Target has a shelf sticker, then they have it on order, but Hasbro doesn't seem to supply the northeast with any Kre-O until months after the rest of the country seems to get them. I don't get it. Can anyone shed light on Hasbro's crazy shipping practices?

 

I am in the same boat near Cincinnati. TRU only seems to have wave one around here. Every single target I have been to all have the tags but a big empty space. I scan the tag I took a picture of on my phone and they don't have any in the back. I am getting annoyed cause I want em! Any idea when the next combiner sets are suppose to hit?

 

Odd. I was in Dayton 2-3 weeks ago and the Fairborn (?) Target had Wave 2. I went to another Target closer to Columbus and they also had them.

But I'm in PA and have not seen them at all. I passed because I assumed I'd be seeing them here at home but...nope. Very odd.

 

The toys ship from Asia (where they were manufactured) to the West Coast (which is why California is typically the first to report sightings) and then from there to the east, hence the East Coast is the last place to get stuff. Unless manufacturing moves to somewhere near the Atlantic, we're just going to have to deal with the extra wait.

 

We've had lots of them here at Targets in Connecticut for at least a month.

ZacWilliam, so it's not really a "Northeast" problem. May just be your area.

 

I just asked my Target if these dudes were still on order. The employee told me they should have been in on 6/6 but obviously they never got them.

Not sure if that's something he can actually see, but that's the info I got.

 

to those having trouble finding them at Target, in the past they had been found in the Season section for some odd reason. I know during Valentines that was the case. I personally haven't ever seen them at my Target, and Wal-Mmart has something against Hasbro as of late, little to know Hasbro products. The only place I can find them is ToysR'Us but they never restocked, and Walgreens but they are still selling Wave 1 here.

 

Hit up BBTS if you can't find them. They have cases of these. Find someone to split them since there are 2 full sets in a box.

 

I ended up turning to eBay to buy my series 2 and series 3 both. Look up "The Avengers Rule Super Store" (the seller is Member id avengersrule2002)

That guy sells singles and you can just choose the one you want rather than having to buy blind.

 

I may have to go the eBay route as well. I need Groove from Series 2 & haven't seen any Series 3 at all here in Central NY. Target has an empty box of Series 2 for what must be a month by now! Area Walgreens have only the preview & Series 1 packs!

 

So, an update on my wave 2 hunt. Last weekend, I found 4 leftover packs at a local Target at last. This discovery inspired me to step up the hunt. So my wife and I traveled to several Targets and TRUs in the Central Jersey/North Philly area. Almost by accident, I found the rest of wave 2 at a Burlington Walgreens on rte. 130, a full box! That was it for wave 2. What I wound up finding much easier during my hunt, and much to my surprise and pleasure, was wave 3. Several Targets and TRUs in the area are carrying wave 3 now (except for the two closest to my home, naturally.). I even found a random Abominus combiner all by itself at the Oxford Valley Target. I've since ordered Defensor and Piranacon off of Amazon.

So, I finally had success in this area, but as I said, wave 2 was found by just dumb luck. Also of note, I was in the TRU at Times Square yesterday, and couldn't help but notice that they had ZERO blind packs, and a ton of wave 1 combiners but ZERO wave 2. I find that kind of shocking. Not only did it take several months for waves 2 and 3 of the blind packs and the new combiners to reach this area, but the Times freakin' Square TRU had nothing! What is Hasbro doing? None of the comic book stores in NYC carry Transformers Kre-O, and the city does not have a Target. So of you live in the largest city in the world, you cannot purchase the recent TF Kre-O releases at all. ....Wha? Hasbro, please make these products more available!

I sincerely hope those of you who can't find these have a stroke of luck like I did. Thanks to Hasbro's screwy shipping habits, that seems to be what you need: luck. Which is sad. I will offer this bit of advice:For those in Jersey and Pennsylvania, order whatever you can from Amazon. They ship from a warehouse in Central Penn, and will arrive at your doorstep in just a couple of days. Now onto the next great search: The new Kreon Custom Packs! Here we go again....
