Unless you have a pressing need to have Wave 2 right this instant, I'd wait off and get the Combaticons instead. The latter are just gonna be harder to find the more you wait now CW's ended, and Wave 2 TR are only this price right now because they're new and few other places have them. Wait a bit and they'll go down to a more normalized price; wait even longer and they'll be reduced.

If indeed that answer is "yeah", don't rush on Wave 2 if you don't have to. It's gon' be around.

Admittedly I have not really been keeping up with what is coming out. Is it true that Wave 2 is it for 2016? If so, you are probably right that stuff will be around later in the year. I'm curious to see how these figures sell, and if any will be available at a nice discount later in the year. I generally avoid paying MSRP + shipping/tax for figures. But I've jumped on many of the TR figures much earlier from release than compared to CW, and thus have paid MSRP. Luckily I have been pretty lucky in at least getting a discount on most to offset shipping/tax. I get the sense most of the TR line is well received (at least from the forums) and thus, will be harder to get a decent discount.

The problem is the stores in my area have crappy distribution. I always have to check back over and over for the figure and then wind up having to ebay the sucker because he never appeared in any store and is sold out at the online shops.

I pre-ordered Astrotrain last Friday and will be receiving it today. I'm guessing Amazon didn't have much stock of either figure as they sold out fairly quickly and none have come back up.

Sweet. I'm really looking forward to Alpha Trion.

We don't know yet. Hopefully the answer is yes.

I saw some people theorizing that Stripes might have originally been intended as Steeljaw (hence the "mane") but was changed to avoid confusion with RID Steeljaw.
Ramhorn would require some remolding if not a new mold, so I'd be surprised if he showed up. I could see a third repaint of the Laserbeak mold as something like Sunder or Blockrock showing up.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a decent Ratbat.

Sweet. I'm really looking forward to Alpha Trion.
And I look forward to knowing what you think about him!
