Aside from a few people in November, has anyone been able to get siege rumble and ratbat?

    I ordered mine off of Ebay in December, because I figure I'd never see them at brick-and-mortar retail.

    I was right. Nothing at any Target near me, at least that I ever saw.

    Got mine at Toys R Us in Canada. No US sightings for me. I keep checking places like Kroger to see if they'll show up there.

    true, amazon did round up the cost of the two exclusive sets, and while the fan vote pack did have a $10 markup the rainmakers had a $10 decrease (the refraktor 3 pack also had a markup of $10) so the prices kind of balanced out if you were getting everything. and the idw impactor head was probably more of a draw than the power dasher for most people, at least those familiar with idw

    I have no idea how/why Hasbro Pulse doesn't carry their own company's product.

    I never saw them in stores, I preordered the whole wave from BBTS and that is how I got them. I've just started preordering everything these days as insurance. If I find what I'm looking for in-store, great I cancel my preorder and buy it there, if not BBTS is my back up plan.

    Nope. Same for the Laserbeak/Ravage set. I had to get them through Amazon. They later showed up randomly at a Target months later, never saw them again.

    At this stage, I'm anticipating a million of them to hit some obscure bargain retailer that isn't within three hours driving distance of me, with a steady stream of pictures on this site showing that they can be had for a couple dollars and come complete with bonuses like true love and personal contentment.

    I hope so. Seems like the last wave has really terrible distribution. I ended up buying a TR Ramhorn from a member here since I never found it in the wild.

    I just ordered them on Aliexpress. I'm a bit desperate for them. So fucking close to have all of the cartoon tape guys and I'm not missing this out. 22 bucks is a good price to pay for a "latecomer tax" and I would rather have it at any cost than miss out on it, what with "blue tape guy" coming out in Generations Selects.

    Only saw them at one Target in our city of Chicago. Bought them all for my friends. Never saw Apeface or Seige Astrotrain either.

    Still waiting for Amazon to send mine. I pre-ordered it months ago, I heard a few people got them. I think the delivery date is sometime this month now, but who knows......

    Nope, never saw them. I bit the bullet and bought the Takara set off of eBay. Ugh.

    I blame poor distribution AND scummy scalpers.

    Never saw them anywhere near Sacramento. Or that whole under $10 wave. Amazon now says the 7th.

    I put in a preorder in early Dec at BBTS, and it's stayed in that state since, just pushing the expected month out automatically as they do. At this point I don't have much hope they will actually get them in.
