    That was why I was asking in case there was some mysterious refresh cases - like there so often is with Rescue Bots toys.

    You also likely have people who hit eBay. Now, sure, where do the eBay samples come from? Theft, factory rejects, distributor error.

    But the YT guys themselves I find less fault with. We want reviews before we buy. They get clicks from the earliest reviews. If they find samples on eBay and are willing to pay 4x retail to get clicks for their channel (which I doubt even PixelDan makes a full living at), the issue is several steps removed from the theft.

    I’d generally wish Hasbro would send factory samples direct to these guys so I know what and whether to preorder.

    But by the time a YTer reviews a figure, at least most western YTers, it’s several steps removed from however it got leaked. It isn’t like EmGo is dangling into a factory on ropes to heist figures. He’s buying them.

    No need to apologise, mate, I actually totally nabbed the last Mirage at Crown Point from under the very nose of a fellow fan I beat to the shelves by mere seconds! I'm by far the worse of us! :p

    Found the Cyberverse Jetfire wave at WM Canada here today.

    All this talk of missing Smashdown and/or Caliburst. The reason is there all at every WM up here by the dozen! Pegs overflowing even at the crappy stores. :) 

    If anyone wants a pair shipped out for cost plus PP fees (and I will state in advance that I need to add a couple of bucks for my time so as to not lose money on my end), you can PM me! I can get them, prep a PP Invoice for you and ship via Canada Post.

    Where do people get the information of repacks with the current wave. And is this information recorded down somewhere?

    I get case assortments from Entertainment Earth and log them in an Excel spreadsheet. Been doing that for years.

    Transformers Generations SIEGE Micromasters RUMBLE & RATBAT S46 2" Figure Pack 630509886463 | eBay

    Transformers Generations Siege Micromasters - Direct-Hit & Power Punch 630509886456 | eBay
    Transformers Generations Siege Micromasters - Decepticon Rumble & Ratbat 630509886463 | eBay

    Direct-Hit, Power Punch, Rumble And Ratbat Siege Micromasters | eBay

    Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Micromaster RUMBLE RATBAT WAVE 5 IN STOCK | eBay

    In case you wanted to update the status on a couple of items - both Jetfire and Omega Supreme arrived into Australia at the beginning of this month, and have been available on Amazon Australia. Omega Supreme is supposed to show up at some retail stores, but Jetfire was not picked up by any of the national retailers, so will only be available online like on Amazon.
