Or my Smokescreen

 

does anyone have the official product box images for the studio figures of TF2 Soundwave, Topspin, Cliffjumper, Blitzwing, Skipjack, Leadfoot, and the straight box images that arent at an angle for G1 Jazz, Kup, and Blurr?????

 

All of my stores keep getting wave one.  

 

Now? These are only out now?
If you had the means, you could have fully paid for Kingdom, SS, half of the two packs, the next round of Netflix, other exclusives, and that's not even touching third parties.

By the time you get to touch a thing, pre-order culture is zeroing all your energy on content years down the road.

Am I the only one who feels a little displaced from what I should be caring about? They and how good they are should be the focus, right?

 

Man wave 2 hasn’t even hit I knew wave 3 would hit before wave 2 came out! Thank god I did online for both waves as I won’t see either wave till next mo lol! My stores in my area can’t stock shit lately! All I see at Walmart & target is SS & cybervurs toys! Target has let me down as they where getting ER quick then just stopped! Thank god for online right now or i would be wasting a lot of gas you hunting! Bad enough I have to go to Walgreens for blueStreak!

 

Or my Airwave

 

it has hit. They’re being sighted at Walmarts for a week now

 

I had to order my Alicon from gamestop out of desperation, because Wave 2 still hasn\'t showed up. Now wave 3 is hitting shelves

 

Ramjet is part of an Amazon-exclusive two-pack, so you weren't going to find him at Target.

 

Man, I never got My Windblade and Misfire because of wave jank. I guess I'm with you on this.

What sucks is I don't think we can blame covid for this because this is a recurring issue. Honestly it doesn't matter what the issue is, just that it's an issue.

 

This would still be the same DPCI code as wave 2 right?

 

it doesn’t matter. I typed in grapples and I got out of stock at every store within 20 miles while staring at 6 of them.

 

So is the new normal “preorder now or forever hold your peace”?

I suppose from a business perspective that makes a lot of sense. No more guessing about waves and a massive reduction in discounting but what about just walking into a store to buy a toy for a kid. Or an impulse purchase. Will that be mostly Wave 1 stuff from here on out?

 

I have yet to find wave 2 anywhere lmao

 

Trailbreaker looks neat! 

 

Yes. 087-16-3985

 

That kinda only applies to exclusives. You can always hold off on preordering mass release retail figures but you should never hesitate on pre ordering exclusives.

You think people would learn their lesson after siege skywarp but alas.

 

Seems that way, but even that seems not to be a guarantee. I preordered wave 2 the day they went up for order at bbts and still waiting!

Clearly the factory's are still producing figures and the stores are all still open and stocking. Where is all the merchandise?

 

I hear you, but I have been waiting on a pre-order overload from target. I preordered him from Target back in February. Supposed to arrive October 2nd. I started seeing him in stores a month earlier. My preorder is on backorder now. I think it's hit or miss either way sadly.
