Found Mirage, Barricade, and Impactor at Target this morning in Santa Ana, CA. I only took a photo of Mirage but all 3 were present and I bought them.
I get the sarcasm, but yes indeed I was able to check out just fine. I know right? I was like "hmm have these been spotted yet?" I did search TFW News posts and only saw UK and Canada so here we are.
There was a period of time when there was stuff dropping at Walmart so far ahead of other retailers that I stopped caring about sightings and ended up missing several opportunities. It's great!
That's great news! Hopefully Apeface and Astrotrain are not far behind, I know what the online dates are but retail always gets them sooner than those dates in my personal experience
meanwhile in here in Groningen {the netherlands} i haven\'t seen a deluxe on toystore shelves in a year. last i have seen was Cyberverse and POTP wave 1. Wish they would come to stores here some day.
I'm waiting on those guys too but they are wave 5. I really dont believe we'll see them till December, at best November? Please prove me wrong Hasbro.
Astrotrain wave 3 Leader and wave 5 deluxe Spinister are already in a few hands, 1 person posted pics in the appreciation thread and TonTon has had Astrotrain for quite a while now. Retail typically gets these guys before the dates listed online and traditionally the new line debuts around Christmas time as to capitalize on toy buying season, however with the dates for Earthrise listed for March and April, its highly unlikely they could come as early as Christmas, earliest I'd guess would be late February-early March some time around Toyfair maybe so they could stretch out WFC-S but either way, if all of WFC-S is out by/ in December, that still leaves about 2-3 months of nothing
I will keep my eyes open in that case. I'm still waiting on wave 4 in retail. I ordered Barricade from Amazon cause he was lacking a preorder everywhere. Arizona gets stuff pretty slow so I don't think I'm missing Astrotrain yet, he just isn't here for me yet.
Quick question to those who have found them: Has anyone been denied of these figures? Me and a few other members were denied of Thundercracker, so I just want to know if it\'s the same for the deluxes.
i was planning on going out tonight and looking and you just gave me my flashbacks of when I found Galaxy Optimus. Might have to take someone’s advice and grab a Chromia if I find them and scan her a bunch of times.
