    Do you happen to have the Scorponok head that came with one of the Titans Return multi-packs? Curious how he looks on Zarak/Megazarak

    Hey, look the USA is a geographic nightmare to navigate, let alone build permanent road ways suitable for the about of people, their fast paced lives and unevenly distributed population.

    Omega was a must-have that was such a must-have, that I really had to get it when the must-get time had arrived, and so I went and pre-ordered it as soon as I could pre-order this must-have, must-get, that did become a do-have that was a happy must-have/must-get/now-have that I am quite happy to now-have-had for a while now. :p 

    And I managed to get a 20% off on my pre-order at the time, something that hasn't been possible for this guy, as Toy R Us has never announced this guy either as a pre-order or as available yet.

    For Clawzord here, I did at least go from a not-get, to a maybe-get, if I can get him as a ok-I-will price.

    It's complicated.

    Did I mention him having missiles sculpted into his ass? Because Scorponok has missiles sculpted into his ass.

    This toy is an absolute gem.

    Does anyone know if there will be more Generations Selects Greasepit figures available in the mainstream toy websites later this month? I would hope so but see that all the other sites such as ToyDojo, Megalopolis, TFSource that had stock no longer have him. He can’t be that short of a release right?

    Considering he hasn't even been officially announced yet. I wouldn't worry right now about him being in shortage.

    So what people are basically saying and thinking is that, everything that has come out in the past year/month/Week! and is gone now, or very hard to get now, is still coming out in great numbers and everything is going to be eventually easily accessible to everyone (Omega Supreme, Phantom Strike Squadron, Seeker 2 Pack...Just to name a few!) And I'm sure some people are still waiting on Misfire And Twin Twist to drop...SMH!!! If you don't pre-order when it first comes out, you most likely will not get it!!! Unless you pay a late tax! This stuff is not coming back at regular retail prices. In today's world the Pre-order is the main drop!!! The days of Has/Tak making tons and tons of every single figure is over. Is it so hard to believe that Has/Tak is using the pre-orders to know how many to actually make, that's called smart business. And I'm sure they make a few extra, but those are the ones people will be fighting over, and saying More is definitely coming. Pre-orders is just the way to go now.

    I won't deny thats the truth about some figures yes, but the person was worried about something being out of stock when "officially" it doesn't even exist yet. I'd say around comic con is when more online e-tailers should have him up for pre-order.

    The difference being that everything you cited (2 of which were available for months when including the preorder window) was officially announced and shown by Hasbro. Greasepit has not even been officially announced or put up for preorder ANYWHERE. I have Exhaust and got him through The Chosen Prime when they went "Oh! We have stock!" No preorder or advance notification.
    No need to be this hyper over it. Missing out on things does happen, it's happened as long as this fandom has been around, it will continue. If you think you may miss something, then preorder it if/when it becomes available or hunt aggressively. Fortunately many (not all) figures also have a wide-spread Takara release as well, which increases the odds of obtaining even if it is an international markup.

    I definitely agree with you about Greasepit and Exhaust, it was basically first come first serve, with no warnings or options to pre-order. So they should definitely get a major release at a good number of online retailers. I really do hope so.

    But I have a feeling it's going to be more like:
    Greasepit = Twin Twist
    Exhaust = Misfire
    Seeker 2 Pack = Phantom Strike Squadron

    I really am hoping to be wrong on this. But we will see over the next few months. But in the meantime Pre-orders, Hunting, and Keeping eyes open for random drops of rare figures.

    Id say incorrect on greasepit and exhaust. They are going to be generations selects. Basically meaning they will be readily available at all online shops, including hasbro pulse. People are worried now because no one can find them. They were never announced. No one needs to worry. Hell earthrise isnt even half way done yet. The misfire comparison is terrible because misfire had the unlucky run of being in the final wave which rarely hits saturation. Exhaust will be ready to be bought at a wide release. Same for greasepit. The seeker 2 pack wont be like the phantom strike set. The seeker 2 pack is target exclusive. Phantom strike was an amazon exclusive and had a limited run. Seeker 2 pack is definitely gonna be easier than that. Maybe even alphastrike easy.
