    I saw a spike in Target's inventory on popfindr and someone in the Indiana thread found 2 cases of wave 2.
    This could very well be fluke-precursor to targets now getting wave 2, and wave 3 then becoming hard to find.

    Haven\'t even seen Wave 2 here in Florida not that I was planning on picking up any of the figures from that wave but still Wave 3 is the one I\'ve been most looking forward to trailbreaker sunstreaker Runabout and since I just got scorponok the other day I\'m too really stoked for his little buddy

    At this point if all goes right I’m two weeks from my Wave 3 stuff shipping. So I can run around in what little free time that I have and at best 50/50 whether I’ll be disappointed or not. Or I can just chills d realize that stuff will be in hand at the latest, 2 weeks from Friday provided Target and Amazon honor their ship/delivery windows.
    That’s not saying I’m annoyed because I have been looking forward to finding Smokescreen in person, and I’m really beginning to wonder if that’s gonna be possible, or some lost wave of figures like the back half of Titans Return.

    Missing a chance to grab Skylynx off the shelf might be a big deal. I know I never ran into Jetfire on a store shelf.

    I thought about that... since online prices are pretty much the same as retail right now I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it. If I want it bad enough I’ll go back or just grab one online.

    Yeah, I just went to that same Target after seeing your heads-up, and based on what others have posted and how many they still had, they must have stocked 4 cases of Wave 2. Was weird to see after waiting so long. No Wave 3, though.

    Seeing a lot of Sky Lynxes on shelves lately. They were hard to find when I was actually looking a month or two back. Probably one of my most satisfying toy purchases of the year, along with Scorponok. Scorponok I knew I would like. Sky Lynx was an absolute surprise once I had it in hand. Just so much personality. I think people who skip it might end up regretting it.

    And thanks to whoever just cancelled their Sunstreaker/Trailbreaker preorders. Hopefully this will give me a chance avoid hunting toy aisles for a bit.

    I saved the photo from a thread here, so I could repost it.

    I pretty much disregarded it, in my head, when somebody responded "that pic again?" or "that pic is so old!" I couldn't make out any details, such as the year or assortment number on any of the crushed boxes.

    I guess I dismissed the photo as an accident that happened years ago, being passed off as new, not as recently as Earthrise wave 2.

    Thanks guess wave two deluxe remains a mystery. The voyagers and leaders shipped so I'm stumped. Having seen the pic on Facebook kind of recent I thought it might of been related.

    I'd like to be 100% clear, the photo of all the collapsed pallets could be recent.
    Or it could be an old photo somebody posted recently to make us think it was current.

    I don't know well enough to say, one way or the other.

    If it were legit, that would go a long way to explain why wave 2 is in such short supply. But, in a year like this, we have plenty of other excuses for poor distribution without the need to throw in the possibility of stock being damaged in a warehouse accident.

    No wave 2 or wave 3 in my area yet. Although I did see the shuttle micromasters the other day, so maybe they'll be stocked soon?
