    All of mine have been bought off of Ebay, but that's due to me not them. I don't go out much and roommates say they haven't seen any when they are out.

    I feel ya, about 65,70% of mine are either trades and or Ebay, or RK and so on... And strangely enough my Walmarts have had plenty of Swag Stylers 8-packs, but every time, I've missed being able to catch the pack that withholds TP. Itch :(

    It doesn't help my roomies, I love them dearly, are pretty much ignorant when it come to TF. For Christmas last year I asked for Botbots, Moonracer, Novastar, or Bumblebee either the G1 reissue or the movie VW. I ended up with Swerve (who was probably my second choice for a reissue), a TLK Cogman 1 step changer, and a TLK Legion Dragonstorm.

    Well I came up with another new tribe, The Appliance Alliance. They are from an Appliance Store, I have ideas for more like a Washer & dryer set, Goob Tube could be repainted for them, etc. I also have included two new Jock Squad, a new Swag Styler, and a new Toilet Troop. Three of those still need better bios.

    Anybody with the quick knowhow on tracking down the 5 and 8 packs I'll need to complete the series?

    Also, tired of searching for the 4 1.5 sets... any lead on those for me?

    Thanks in advance. :thumb

    I dunno. With shipping charges from Canada, it might just be cheaper to drive up and get them. ;)

    Thinking it's like those TF Ooshie that seem to only to have been available in Australia. So whatever RK had that's it. If you got them great, if not well keep hoping they get a wider release.

    Which kind of makes me really wonder about the Lawn League now. Is Hasbro going to mention anything at SDCC or are people just going to have to find other alternatives to get them kind of like what Diamondback is doing.

    Still no luck with finding Hamurai sooo bought a Hawt Mess off ebay........and I just noticed it's Tuesday. Just one of them funny coincidences. :lol

    Update: W. says ACD isn't sure when ACD will be getting the LL's, her rep says he'll keep his ear to the ground and let us know as soon as he gets a firm date.

    They sold out around the end of March. Diamondback and I got lucky when they were in stock for a hot second a couple of weeks ago, but it sold out so quickly I think they just found a spare case or two in some dusty corner of the warehouse and put them up. I don't think they're getting any more.

    Welp, things arent looking good in Europe. No wave 2 in sight and no vendor wants to carry them because they sit on the stock. I'll probably sell my complete wave 1 because there is no way i will go through overpriced shipping / customs hell for a few tiny collectibles.

    As a fellow European, I feel your pain. I’m still bitter about Wave 2 of Combiner Wars being skipped entirely, and how it seems that Siege Chromia has been sighted in stores in every country in the world except the U.K.!

    On the plus side though, we have a few things the Americans don’t - such as the Eurovision Song Contest, Kinder Surprise eggs, and at least one World Cup win!
