This is the day for Wave 4 findings all across North America. While the deluxes have been found in the US, Titns Return Braodside, the only voyager class from wave 4, has been found in Canada. This particular proof comes from TFW2005 user neevnav who has found him at a Walmart in Toronto. Hopefully he and the wave 3 Voyagers hits the states soon!

Hasbro is hardly to blame here. If some stores are getting stuff in, and others aren't its more due to those stores ordering stuff and others aren't.
My local Walmart still has wave 1 deluxes hanging around, and a couple wave 2 leaders, but nothing else.
However my local Target had wave 2 lingerers , has some wave 3 currently, and I don't doubt wave 4 will be getting in soon.
I doubt Hasbro its not supplying walmart with newer waves. Its just what the stores order. and Walmart may not order new waves until the previous stock is sold off to a certain degree, while others may be ordering faster if they order less.

But to the point in General it would be nice to see any Voyager in the UK that were not Wave 3 - sure it happens but not often. Wave 2 especially seems to have "disappeared" - I expect i'll get them eventually but like Crazybolt (who I still don't have) I also think it will be a long chase.

I know some people say Hasbro is not to blame...and Maybe they are not. But when you have U.S. fans waiting for TR Wave 3,(but have plenty of wave 2) and UK fans waiting for Wave two (but have planet of wave 3)...what other conclusion can be made...
Oh and RiD Crazybolt...I thought that was never released...never saw a sighting of that Anywhere, and I don't want to pay some insane price for the TT one. Seriously, I would like to just wake up early one day and go to all the Targets and Wal-Marts in my area (probably close to 20 stores) and take pics of all the empty pegs... its just sad.

The thing is, responding to both your previous messages, is those are terrible prices. At least here, we prefer to wait for them to hit stores since stores like Walmart and Target sell deluxes at $14.99 for example. the online prices are much higher and the TRU prices are also very high. HTS is one of the few stores that sell them close to that in-store price, hence the big deal waiting for them to be in stock.
for example: CW deluxes were $20+ online, $15 in stores, $15-17 at HTS, and $24 at TRU. It's a big deal for us to see them in stores rather than online, and with the way many stores online make you buy 1 at a time at higher prices or the entire wave for a lower price when you may not want the entire wave.

What D-Max said. I'm all for buying online, but to apy aftermarket prices upfront for a current-wave toy is a bit much.
I just want to know how all these other places have wave 3 of the deluxes but HTS does not. I just dont get it.

I suppose with distribution being all over the place you can sell or trade any spares. There is likely to be someone who wants one.
Speaking of the Item I mentioned before they were actually out in VERY.co.uk a long time ago (both Wave 2 Voyagers and Crazybolt as well) but they fairly priced but it just hit me at a time I was skint so I couldn't get them and when I had the funds they'd gone. so Now I'm having to chase up a Crazybolt.
It's downright bizarre that the distribution of Astrotrain and Alpha Trion was bordering on the non-existent - I was actually wondering if VERY were being naughty and ordered them in themselves from Hong Kong.
As non of the stores supplied by Hasbro seem to have got them. at this point I'm hoping for a warehouse dump from the US or Canada or Hong Kong that shows up (eventually) TRU sometimes get that sort of stuff.
It's not just Titans Return distribution that is a pathetic mess it's also Marvel stuff and Rescue Bots - RID isn't to bad though (except for later Minicons that seem to have nearly all gone to Germany for some reason)- so that might show either Hasbro is stocking more of that in their own warehouses or the retailers are ordering it as it has a TV show.... which isn't logical as Rescue Bots also has a TV show.
I think they miss a trick by not having the smaller products on shelves as they is a great deal of cross compatibility between RID / Titans Returns & Rescue Bots The Minicon Weaponisers and the Rescue Minicons use the same connection system and are interchangeable - they also both work on the new "Activator Combiners" (The ones with the Stealth Force modes) and the other advantage is something like Tricerabot is a pretty decent Targetmaster for your Titans Returns Deluxes. I also think if they were smart they'd make a boxed set of repaints of all the old Generations Micromaster/Targetmaster releases as they'd also be similar really useful too.
But I just really like small Transformers I guess. I'll even miss Titanmasters when they stop making them - as to me they are almost like the modern stand in for a Diaclone Pilot.

Wave 3 still hasen't hit major retail around here, but the pharmacey has what I need to soothe what ails me.
I know it was confirmed by our news squad, but just so y'all know I'm not goofing around.

Noting as loose as Fansprojects Not-Roadbuster mould they can barely hold the weight of their own legs and if you look at them funny they won't.
It's inconvenient but hardly difficult to fix them though a bit of floor polish in the hinges or clear nail polish in the ball-cups - that is also hand to stop the problem with arms or legs that fall off too.
------
Anyway that isn't what I popped in for - what I actually was going to say was, I just had a thought about Titans Return Voyagers and Combiner Wars Voyager both being a kind of Triple Changer and how if they carry that over to the 3rd line and they also bring some more beasts into the 3rd line.
Something that might work really well idea-wise is to look at Beast Machines characters for inspiration.
## (spoilers for an 18 year old TV show) ##

What with Tankor, Jetstorm's & Thrust's er "origins" why not have triplechangers of all 3 of them possibly Noble too ?
Failing that there is always another idea which is to make them Fuzors only not ones with 2 beast Modes merged but with a beast & Machine mode merged - they could also be a kind of triple changer if the beast kibble is made to fold away. Something similar to that half truck half bull thing that nearly got made.
Anyway It was just a passing thought I had that - I thought i'd mention.

I get that, and in my defense, my quoted post used to lead to a decent price for highbrow. But somebody probably picked it up since then. I agree with you guys and I too want the best prices for my toys. My question is this though, I go on TRU.com and I see listings for Wolfwire and Triggerhappy and other hot toys for 12.99. They arent available but were they? And if the answer is yes then I wonder why you guys didnt buy them then. Thats what I am wondering.

Because HTS can't get new stock ahead of other Hasbro retailers, maybe, it's kinda confusing. I've been told one thing, then told vehemently that I'm wrong. Like most things Hasbro, no one will give you a straight answer and you're not allowed to ask.

We'd suggest diving into your bag of salt once more, and just consider this a misnamed placeholder for a new deluxe figure from the Titans Return line, though not the purple Decepticon commander after all.
This might seem a little *ahem* illogical, however, seeing as he just got a legend-class toy in the Combiner Wars toyline, but hey, at one time during CW we had two different sized versions of Skywarp on the shelves at the same time, so anything can happen!

Considering it's not even listed as 'Generations' it could be some special RiD figure for all we know.
There is also a possibility that's he's a Walmart exclusive fig. So that's why he gets his own shelf. But of course this hasn't happened with The two marvel legends exclusives they had so far.

The date on the sticker is the date it was printed. The last number of a barcode number is a check digit and is not related to the product's number. It can be different in different systems.
The last number of every barcode is a check digit. It is not part of the number of the product.

I literally said this is not Shockwave, but another deluxe Titans Return figure. How is that misleading?
EDIT: I changed the phrasing again, for ease of understanding.

That was the misleading part, in addition to the "except for the last digit". Thanks for clarifying.

Speaaaking of Broadside
He's based on the CVS-36 USS Antietam based on the number and Carrier mode, to make it much more Historical based
Ooh; that's a pretty impressive resemblance aside from the colours and a few cases of unavoidable kibble. Absolutely loving it
Expect TakaraTomy to ruin the homage by slapping his G1 accurate "98" on it:
Transformers G1 1986 Broadside Gallery
You sure it's not 86? as in the year written below the picture
The smaller 'o' of the 8 is facing us, indicating that the number we're looking at is upside down. The upside down rubsign also helps.
Ah right thanks
weird though....you would've thought that they could've numbered it to coincide with that year
Fun fact: Aircraft carrier numbers are oriented to face the planes taking off and landing. Ehich means the Hasbro # on TR Broadside is actually the one upside down

Where did you get "we hope this toy is rereleased" vibe from? All Destron said was the supposed Shockwave toy (if it exists) would be the figure he has been wishing for. All I said was that some of us couldn't get/didn't know about the FoC Shockwave, so a new Deluxe would be nice.
