    The Mrs and I were in Lawton, OK yesterday and I found this at the Wal-Mart on Quanah Parker Trailway.

    And yet BBTS still hasn't gotten them in yet so my preorder can ship... :( 

    At this point its going to be a race, will I get them BBTS first or find them in stores first.

    I don't actually think this is the first US sighting, but you might as well be the second person to find them in the US so I'd say it counts.

    a cursory Google search isn't finding anything... I think they've been available online for so long maybe most people didn't realize they haven't hit retail?

    Not that I've heard. I'd love to be wrong though, at least rhat there is some place selling them for under $40.

    Wave 3 is basically what the finding Combaticons where like last year. I was one of the few he found the 4 deluxe figures at Walmart right before Xmas but didn't get Onslaught until February and that was through BBTS. Time will tell which TR figure will end up as scarce as Sky Lynx was.

    Plus let's not forgot all the people who bought that individual Scattershot got screwed! Hopefully history won't repeat itself!

    Great find! Im skipping Megs for the moment to wait for Takara's shinier painted version. :D 
    Oh, and that G2 Prime is pretty neat, IMO.

    I'm skipping the Wave 3 Voyagers and Wave 4's by the looks of things anyway (Broadside looks terrible). So I probably won't be looking out for a TR Voyager figure until June or July and that's only if wave 5 produces some good looking Triple Changers with Blitzwing or Octane (Based on growing speculation). Mainly Octane though since Thrilling 30's Blitzwing is still a cool figure IMO.

    Same here. Octane is the only one I really want and that's just to complete the trio (with TR Astrotrain and Gen. Blitzwing).

    Careful. There's no guarantee TT will do them as Prime and Megatron. They may jump ahead to Blitzwing and Octane, especially in a movie year where less product will be allocated for the Legends line.

    Its possible but Im thinking TT has a better chance of making Black Convoy/RID Scourge from that G2 Prime Titans Return and G2 Camo deco Megs instead. Those I will absolutely be buying!
