I've had Jazz for a month now at least.
Can't wait to find these. Hopefully not until next week when I get paid.

So could anyone tell me what I'll be able to find in stores at that time? This wave, and perhaps wave 5? Or perhaps even earlier stuff? (And yes, I know I can expect Tuner Mudflap' s warming the shelves!)

I'm crying, too. Lived in US but should have moved to California. Better weather than here and faster Transformers to get.

Just got back from Target, and both HftD and Generations have low stock on the shelves, so hopefully that's a sign that a restock of newer figures is on the way by week's end.

...It is getting too difficult to keep track of these lines.

Yeah, I have to agree with you there , but at least we're getting plenty of great figures pretty fast right?

In my neck of woods, Generations Wave 5 is bountiful. By March, that could change entirely. If you hit a bunch of shops, you probably shouldn't have much trouble with Generations Wave 1, Darkmount, and Wave 5.

Yep, take your pick Powercore Combiners, Reveal the Shield, Generations, or Hunt for the Decepticons.

Got mine in today from BBTS................epic. My Botcon Kup is hiding in shame. Can't wait for the iGear cygar head replacement.

Generations and the 2010 line have been running at the same time since last fall when they first came out, just as Universe and Animated ran at the same time (and both overlapped with RotF). This is no different now than it has been.

I live in Miami. Here is what is currently available in local stores:
Darkmount
Skullgrin
Blurr
Drift
Mindset
Fallback
Thunderwing
All 4 WFC figures
Thrust
Dirge
Some are getting harder to find but if you hunt, all are still available in one place or another. Try Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart. Thrust, Blurr, and Drift might be gone by March.

Thanks for the info: this is exactly what I wanted to know! I'll be visiting the whole east coast of Florida and I always make sure to stop by Walmarts, Targets and TRU along the way. I'd like to find Blurr and Dirge, but I'd mostly be after the more recent waves like Wreck-Gar, Perceptor and Thunderwing.

If what WheelJack35 posted at the top is correct I should be seeing something by the end of the week.
Also the list posted above as to what is available where the poster lives, pretty much goes for my area as well. Seeing less and less WFC but the rest is pretty abundant aside from Jazz and Tracks. I found them in Wallgreens, they were the last two and they weren't there the day before , never saw them anywhere else before or after that. Blurr has also been very hard to come by. Another one I got and it was the last one where everything else was fully stocked.

Good luck to you. Hope you find everything you are looking for while in Florida.

That was talked about in another post somewhere but don't know if anyone mentioned that exact idea.
I was thinking something similar in that it could be a repaint of Orion Pax, Dion or if they really want to get their money's worth out of us, both! All though I would say Orion Pax would be more likely since we have had 2 Dion figures in the past and only 1 Orion Pax. Not including the replacement head that comes with the PP01 figures.

That sounds about right. I'm in PA, and it's usually a few weeks after the first sightings on Seibertron.com that they start appearing in my Target.

Yup we've got RtS, HFtD, TFA, PCC's and the tail end of RotF. Like Agent Simmons said, "Try to keep up with the acronyms".
Only thing that gets me is why they make any distinction as to the "Waves" they are coming out in. We've been seeing Blurr up here in the Pac. NW for nearly a month, WFC Cliffjumper since before X-mas and various other figures off and on in-between and never once have I seen them with any of the other figure that are supposed to be in the same wave. I can't even rely on "Wave whatever #" as a loose guideline. This really sucks considering I want to be on top of Thundercracker the second he hits the shelves but for all I know his blue arse is taking up space at my local Target right this second and I'm sitting here at home blissfully ignorant.

I think the Wave is more suited as an internal number for when Hasbro ships the figures rather than when they appear on shelves. Stores really don't have any control over how quickly they go through their previous stock (especially since we're still seeing RotF shelfwarmers floating around!).
