    Onslaught and Sky Lynx's wave is all I see now at Target. Only my local TRU hadn't gotten those in yet but they had the combaticon limb bots.

    I guess I'm in luck, I just picked up Hound and Trailbreaker tonight. That was actually all that Walmart had for limbs...still tons of Optimus Maximus limbs everywhere here. They are definitely the superior figures of the wave. Grad I have them in incase I never see them again...it happened before with Arcee and Chromia, I only saw them once, and that is when I bought them...and I hit a lot of stores.

    The reason this revision wave exists is because by the time Hasbro and retailers finally got Onslaught on the shelf, the deluxes for him were long gone.

    In this area, the Combaticons hit sometime in early January, and now Onslaught is finally showing up those are long gone and stores are on the next deluxe wave.

    Hopefully, this means that I can finish Bruticus assuming these come to retail since the Wal-Marts where I live has nothing CW.

    I'm going to Necrobump this post, but only because I've now seen some local sightings in MN that suggest this revision wave may be slowly hitting retail.

    Sighting.

    For those unfamiliar with the MN area, especially the Twin Cities...we have moved well past the Combaticons in most stores. So for the Combaticons to start popping back up in stores again (especially paired with Wheeljack and Smokescreen) suggests that we are seeing this revision wave and not a return of Wave 5.

    It's not as big of news because there's no new figures. But for people who are looking for the Combaticons (or people still hunting Sky Reign limbs at stores) it'd be handy to know the waves are changing.

    People who want Swindle or Brawl will now be able to find them again...but those seeking Hound and Trailbreaker may be out of luck.

    This revision wave is only the Deluxes. Sky Lynx/Onslaught are still pegged to be the Wave 6 voyagers and there is no revision of those currently on the docket.

    Yep, this is the most recent restock at my Wally world also, no voyagers or leaders though.

    It will be interesting to see if these Brawls have solid waists (like General Ramhorn) or standard ones. It will shed a great deal of insight on the status of UW Brawl and CW Nosecone

    If I knew this was not reported, I would have said something a week ago.

    My Walmarts are shelfwarming these pretty hard now. Haven't seen them at Target yet. One even had a top shelf with at least 2 cases worth. Pretty easy to spot as the Combaticon wave has been long gone so if you see Blast Off and/or Vortex in the mix, it's pretty likely they're getting the case revision now instead of the original Wave 6.

    Sky Lynx still hard enough to find at local retail. With the popularity of the figure and the last wave it makes it especially hard.

    Geez, didn't this happen with Generations Arcee towards the end of 2014?

    The comics that would have been included with the Aerialbots were done with different covers and released with the Combaticons, so you still get the full story.

    I still have not seen Sky Lynx/ Wreck-Gar in stores. Glad i went the online route. This is typical though; the last wave is always hard to find in physical stores since they are trying to sell off the old stock in anticipation of the next toy line being released. Stores know when Titans Return will be shipping, so orders for CW will be slowing down.
