Aww, so I'm SoL since we have no target.

 

I've never seen one of this Meyer stores, I guess they are regional?

 

I just started collecting again near the end of Combiner Wars, and that just happened because I saw what was coming for Titans Return and decided that was reason enough to get the combiner stuff. I found much of it on sale and we're still getting CW stuff popping up at outlets like TJ Maxx so I'd hate to pay a premium for figures just to find them later at reduced prices.

The TRU I work at still isn't stocking Leader size and just started getting Legends recently starting with wave two. We still have an overstock of wave one Deluxe and Voyager figures and about a dozen of Fort Max. Still no Titan Masters though. I first found them at Kroger, then later at Walmart too but haven't seen wave two.

 

I haven't seen him locally here but I decided to save myself the search and just bought them at TFCon a few weeks ago.

 

I'll be the first to admit that I do feel a bit let down when I see them reduced price and warming shelves after I payed a premium but that doesn't happen very often. The $9.98 deluxes at Walmart are really the first time it's happened in bulk but hey my wife and I make a very comfortable living and I don't mind paying the premium.

 

Thank you! If they've shown up in Michigan it shouldn't be too long before they show up where I'm at in NC. Can't wait for astrotrain!!!!!

 

Fred Meyer is only in WA/OR, Meijer is in the midwest, Michigan and around there.

Both are regional small chains that occasionally get stuff first.

 

It's just that it seems that every regular retailer just stopped ordering new toys, don't know what to make of it.

 

It has seemed pretty bare at my Wal-Mart. But I don't know if it's a matter of them not ordering new toys or if it might be them holding back some toy stock ahead of the Christmas season. If it stays this bare around the holiday, then there might be some cause for concern.

 

Yeah at a few Walmart stores in my area they seem to have a problem with Transformers. Mainly Titans Return. If its RID that stuff gets stocked regularly.

 

Alpha Trion and Astrotrain showed up at in the least 2 targets here in Wisconsin in the last few days. Distribution may be catching up.

 

I wish I had also ordered Astrotrain when I got Alpha Trion from BBTS. I was so disappointed in the Sentinel Prime version of the mold that I skipped Astrotrain and kind of regret that now.

 

I got skullcrusher from Wal-Mart for 14.96 and he's the worst out of the three deluxes I have so far. My Wal-Mart don't stock that much it seems. I have seen wave one deluxes and leaders no voyegers

 

What's ironic is we are only getting into the busiest shopping season of the year.

 

This happens every year. Stores will stock up over the next 2-3 weeks to be prepared for the Christmas season which actually starts at Thanksgiving, not 11/1,

 

That is a good point.

 

who is in wave 2 for deluxes? NOt sure if I saw them. I know I saw the Titan masters at target a while ago and I picked htem up but now they have wave 1 again

 

Wave 2 is Wolfwire,Highbrow,mindwipe and Chromedome.I spotted Alpha Trion and Astrotrain this morning at one of our Targets so they have shown up.

 

I think most of them were sent to Hasbro UK :-/

 

...and Idaho and Alaska (just FYI)
