I was just wondering what the situation is with Deadend. I have never seen him at retail in my area, and on Amazon, I didn't see him or breakdown on Amazon preorder. There are some preorders out there, but it's almost the end of Jan, and other waves are already out and about. Are we risking missing Deadend here?
If you’re in America then yes, you likely already missed him. Walmart doesn’t carry anything beyond wave 1 and Target is already moving on to Evolution wave 1. Amazon, Entertainment Earth or BBTS might have listings for him, but your window for retail was open for about 7 seconds and you missed it.
Yeah, he’s gone. I lucked out at a Target back in November. Saw him there once and that was it. Possible that he may show up at an Ollie’s or Ross mid summer if there’s some pallets floating around out there.
Breakdown is up on pre-order now on HasbroPulse. As for Deadend, your best bet is an online retailer like BBTS or TCP at this point.
It's incredible how bad the distribution has been for the Stunticons. Dragstrip is still shelf warming, presumably due to the sheer volume of Wave 1 that was produced, and then the rest of the team was out for maybe a month or two. I find Motormaster particularly jarring - he's the centerpiece of the whole combiner, the most essential member, and yet he sold out within weeks and seemingly has never restocked. At least, thats the case in the US. From what I've seen, he's plentiful in the UK and Asia, so I have no idea what's going on there.
Pulse will be billing Breakdown on Feb 2nd, about 5 days after that he should appear on "Back in Stock" from cancelled orders.
I've had him pre-ordered for awhile. Just gotta figure out from where. He's the only one I'm missing.
I found one in a comic book shop. I have one on pre order at GameStop that I haven’t received yet. I wonder if GameStop will cancel the order.
Thanks for this! He's popped back into stock at BBTS a couple of times, but I was always too slow. Grabbed him this time!
On BBTS there was a Breakdown and a Wildrider that I managed to grab a few hours ago. There were Breakdowns on Amazon as well too but Amazon is sold out now at retail. Glad to help
This makes me glad I preordered the Stunticons on Amazon as soon as they were revealed, I had a strong feeling some of the members would be hard to find.
