Wife was at target today and said the whole TF section was empty, so I'm hopeful they restock with earthrise and not siege stuff...

 

Be glad your Target store was empty, mine is stuffed with unsold Siege figures.

 

Targets here lag behind reports like these for 2-4 weeks. Not concerned as these will likely shelfwarm.

 

target here is pretty much nothing but leader shockwaves

 

Ditto here on the Upper Left Coast.  

 

Just found these here in Austin Texas. My issue I have is why do I never see figures like Jetfire or Omega Supreme? I’ve missed out on almost all the Titans class for the past few years. Also has anyone seen Astrotrian? I got Spinester for Christmas none of the rest of wave 5. Why is it so hard to find the last wave. My 3 local Walmart’s are still in restock forche last 4 weeks. It’s almost as bad as Mattel’s distribution of DCUC and Multiverses

 

Jetfire was only found at a few Walmart stores, and the only store that actually had Titan Class figures on the shelf was Toys R Us, with extra copies of Fortress Maximus and Trypticon appearing at discount stores such as Meijers and Ross. Wave 5 may get a 2nd release next month in February, since it appears that early April will be the time when the entirety of Earthrise Wave 1 will be released, and Astrotrain will be one of those figures.

 

I've seen ONE Astrotrain at Target. Does he have any hollow spaces that could be used as cargo hold, or is his only Micromaster interaction the launchpad?

 

Amazon just listed Siege Ratbat and Rumble...er....Frenzy...the red one. The two pack is incorrectly labeled as being an Earthrise set.
Link here:https://www.amazon.com/Transformers...transformers+ratbat,toys-and-games,237&sr=1-1

They are sold out, but hopefully will become available soon.

 

You sure that's a mislabeled Siege set and not an upcoming Earthrise re-release (like we know will happen with Astrotrain, Smashdown, the Battle Squad and Rung) with the wrong packaging image? I searched Synccentric for the Siege Spy Patrol 2nd Unit's UPC and got nada.

 

Hopefully that means an Earthrise Soundwave isn’t far behind

 

Isn't gen wfc e earthrise?
If thats the case then im happy that'll have a chance to get ratbat again

 

I honestly expected this month was gonna have the first official sighting of Earthrise.

 

the listing says siege again :/

 

On the bright side that leaves room for a brand new micromaster team

 

This is the main reason I order online all the figures I know I'll want. Distribution is so hit or miss, sometimes it's great but you never know which waves (or even size classes) the local stores will just skip entirely.

 

i hate micromasters and only cared about soundwaves minions so that leaves me out of that question

 

Still waiting to see wave five of Siege...

I mean, I went with Takara for Spinister and Crosshairs months ago, so I won't miss out, but it would be nice to see TFs on store shelves occasionally.

 

What is weird is that Amazon has had the Battle Squad set (which is in the same case as the Ratbat set) in-stock a few times since mid-December, but never the Ratbat set. Neither set has been on Pulse either that I know of. I did manage to track down the Ratbat set at a couple of Targets in Oklahoma City before Christmas, but only saw it at two of like seven locations in the area. Others were either empty or had restocks of wave two (Ravage/Laserbeak sets were finally plentiful). No sign of Siege Astrotrain at area Walmarts either, though I did get that from Amazon.
