Um. Start checking your Big Lots stores... They're carrying the Gnaw wave, several confirmed sightings all over Facebook. I'm just as stunned as you are.
For anyone who might be still looking for Rhinox, as his distribution has been weird as hell, seems Hasbro changed the wave 4 voyager case breakdown awhile back. The original leak said ER Starscream was gonna be repacked, but likely that changed due to the Coronation Starscream coming next year. So its not 2x Tigatron and 1x Rhinox. Got this from Previews World.
I checked the Blue Ash one yesterday, all they had was some Earthrise Micromasters for $6 and those Transformers Alt-Modes thingies for $2.
I mean, my local stores that are supposed to carry transformers can't even get the current waves on the shelves, so I have no hopes that the Big Lots here will have them. But I'll still check today.
Confirmed sighting! Big Lots on Secor in Toledo. Don't look at the Laskey Road store. They have none. Also, Ollie's on Lewis has a ton of ER Grappels and Starscreams.
Okay so I just found the most amazing setup at the Brimfield Walmart. They've got The newest studio series, studio 86, WFC wave 3, REDs, and vintage BW. Jazz, Blurr, B-127, Sideswipe, Jolt, Rotf Bumblebee, scorponok, wingfinger, wheeljack, tracks, vintage cheetor and rattrap, vertebreak, studio thrust, RED cheetor, bumblebee, soundwave, starscream, but the last Kup and Gnaw are going with me. I'm sure theres something here for everybody.
Tuttle walmart has a rhinox and a sweep. Some jolts and a vintage rattrap. Bethel walmart has a sweep and a few vintage bw megatrons
Who do I have to go down on to get a Gnaw? Yes, I know Amazon has them, but they ship in 1 to 2 months. I can't wait that long for my cool sharky guy.
Big Lots or Bezos...haha. Word of warning, one probably tastes like an ashtray and the other has a long waiting list...I leave to you to figure out which is which and report back to us!
