Hey. I have been hunting all week, and nothing. I lucked out and found that one odd case of deluxes the week after Xmas at Target. I have been seeing them pop up at Walmart. Don't know if you have Shopko in your area, but I found the Legends there and empty shelf and peg space with CW tags.

I talked with a guy at Target today, and he said He'd never seen post Xmas refresh take this long. He also mentioned something about the trucking industry still recovering from a strike late last year?

Good luck on the hunt.

Thats really interesting!

I didn't hear about the Trucking Strike, might have heard it briefly....

I did notice that shelves have been rather empty as of late and Target and other Stores having rather large clearance sections. Along with that it is clearly about to be a season of "new..." With all the new movies I am sure several lines of toys will be coming out which worries me that Combiner Wars might get over shadowed...

I suppose I will need to drop in on Walmart again here shortly... They do have the best prices after all.

Wave 2 was supposed to come out in February and Robot Kingdom still has it listed as such. BBTS lately has been pushing back releases on a lot of stuff, not just Transformers. Don't forget CW wave 1 was out a bit early so that might explain the longer period of time they've been on the shelf.

Not sure it was this thread of the Devastator one but someone mentioned Alpha Bravo's tail rotating for no reason. It had to be able to rotate flat to fit in the packaging. If they had to design a larger bubble for the tray it would've thrown the packaging budget off.

Definitely being out earlier... If I recall Amazon had a lot of the CW end of December... But not one of the stores around me have anything but the new Robots in Disguise toys. Along with shelf warmers.
Might ask my Toys R Us if they know anything... Which they usually know something a week or so in advanced. (However they tend to also get false info... They rumored a second release of MP Grimlock... That never happened.)

Are you not referring to the June 2014 re-release of Grimlock as Hasbro's MP-03? http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ock/30319/

In the UK, this was then found around November/December at £35 (approx $53 US).

See thats what is interesting about these "second rounds."

They don't always seem to make it all the way around the World or even within a given Country.

I am pretty good at getting the MP's when they release here in my State (USA South Carolina) but it requires me going to Toys R Us twice a week during the release...

That sure beats them never coming to your part of northamerica because they dont have french on the box, which is my situation every time.

In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Leader Class G1 Megatron, Armada Megatron

Postby Va'al » Fri Feb 06, 2015 4:13 pm

Motto: "Till All Are Pun!"
Via Taiwanese Facebook fan group Transformers Prime TFP, we get our first sighting and in-hand look at the upcoming Transformers Generations [Combiner Wars] Leader class G1 styled Megatron (though now a tank) - and a brief look at its retooled redeco Armada Megatron in its package! Check out the mirrored images below, showing off the robot mode of the silvery Decepticon leader, and a size comparison with Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime. Should we even ask if you'll be picking this one up when it shows up at a store near you..?

Slightly off-topic, but could anyone here who has MP-10 see (and possibly take a pic of) how he looks with his limbs collapsed? Thanks! :D

I am a little confused at the moment, as the source is Taiwanese, but the picture is Malaysian (RM is the Ringgit) - so equivalent to $70 US. :-?
