    If you're really lucky, they'll come like this to your store once you finally get them.

    Hasbro's open box policy still great as ever.

    I don't know if this is noteworthy but at my local Target, new Core class figures just got on the shelves but it's Optimus, Shockwave, and Soundwave. Unless Bomburst just somehow got bought out really quick I'm not exactly sure what's going on with the box setup

    I don't see how not having the open box would've had a different result? Walmart has crushed items all the time, open box or not.

    That's pretty noteworthy, yeah. Core wave 2 hasn't widely rolled out yet, so if it's rolling out now it's good to know

    Weird, I’ve seen Wave 2 roll out right after I sighted them. Mainly Shockwave, thought G2 Megs would be the pegwarmer. Guess kids really love their neon green and purple tanks.

    But the weird bit is that G2 Megatron and Bomb-Burst aren't included as far as I've seen, and nothing's been sold since September even though the shipment was just yesterday.

    As far as I can tell there's no figures in the backroom either

    I've seen more crushed and bent boxes with these open flimsy open legacy and shattered glass boxes (from hasbro) than I ever did with ER / Kingdom.

    My target just seemed to have the same scenario.

    If I had to make an assumption, maybe they’re repacking old Kingdom stock and shipping it with Shockwave because they can’t get anything new made and sent out but that seems like a really weird thing to do and not elaborate on.

    But there just doesn’t seem to be a logical explanation otherwise, plus the only other wave 2 item I’ve seen in stores is Blitzwing and Motormaster one time so it does have some backing

    I've yet to see Motormaster myself. Some reports here and there of him in MI, just haven't come across him myself yet.

    Yes, I used Bomb Burst's pipe wrench as a kickstand.

    By slightly cutting the sides of the cockpit (cut them to a 90° angle), a winged Bomb-Burst can be achieved.
