    Who cares? At least half if not all of them were gone right after that picture was taken.

    Dont fret on wave one, they should be everywhere  eventually. Already found wave 1 here at 2 dif walmarts but they were gone so fast there\'s no way more wont be coming.
      I think both walmart & target are having trouble  keeping up with everything but soon it should all be in circulation

    Am guessing scalpers scooped up most of the first round but round 2 might be an avalanche like Blaster was.

    Who's ready for a bit of theory talk? Ok, so in the recent Hasbro Pulse Transformers roundtable meeting one of the questions asked was if the Ark was going to be the last Titan figure. Lenny from the TF Team answered by saying "Come On. (Laughs) Who told you that." This to me implies that they might not be not done with the size class and with the re-release of CW Devastator and the reveal of Selects Black Zarak, the future of the size class for the time being might be special repaints and or re-releases of some of the older and hard to find titan figures such as Fortress Maximus and especially Metroplex. Now here is where I bring out the tin foil hat people. With the release of the Retro headmasters figures and the upcoming reissue of Earthrise Scorponok, I believe that Hasbro might re-release the Titans Return Fortress Maximus but in the Retro G1 Style packaging. It would feature a SUPER toy accurate color scheme featuring tampograph sticker details, the Cerebros would have the Masterforce accurate "Fortress" head sculpt from the Legends version, and to top it all off maybe even include the first U.S. release of the giant Master Sword outside of SDCC. This is all just a personal suspicion of my so take this theory with a grain of salt. I'd like to your opinions about this.

    I have been totally thinking this to if previous toylines have been any indication it will most likely be revealed wave 3? If it is I hope it has the headmaster theme voicebox

    If this actually happens, they gotta reveal it soon because I'm getting closer to canceling my scorponok preorder for lack of having a rival in my collection. (Thanks, zarak)
