Transformers Titans Return Wave 2 Deluxe's Found at Walmart

Bought all 4 of them last Sept 2@ walmart

I posted on the sightings page for each of the individual figures when I found them. September 4th at a Target in Centerville, Utah. I would have kept the receipt, but I didn't know this was news.

Bought Alpha Trion on September 21st in the Netherlands. They also had Astrotrain. Few weeks ago the wave 2 Titan Masters started popping up as well.

These are just northeast of Pittsburgh. They didn't have many when I bought them. Walmart near me has horrible distribution, which often requires me to buy online.

So like, Peaugh's Megatron has stickers already applied and he says they're factory applied but



Megs doesn't seem to have any stickers on his chest in the box.

Other reviewers have also had the stickers pre-applied. It might be a case of the in-box display at the conventions did not include the stickers applied and they decided to make it a last minute thing, like how Laserbeak has instructions for putting stickers on but they are pre-applied

Yeah, I wouldn't consider anything shown at a convention ahead of release to necessarily be a 100% representation of the final product. Hasbro seems to suddenly like stickers and it's probably cheaper to have a big roll of stickers at a factory a worker can apply than to make individual sheets to stick the box.

If the factory stickers are as bad as Peaugh says I really hope Reprolabels gives us options with a separate factory replacement sticker set in addition to their usual amazing sticker set to chose from should the factory stickers need to be replaced.

On a side note, do you think Hasbro and Takara will redeco Megatron in his G2 colors? I only ask because that's how he was listed a while back.

Dammit, I didnt note the date, I just sent this in to the news team as proof that they are at walmart. They had appeared briefly, back when you got it, and then dissapeared only to reappear recently. And with everyone wanting wave 2 and not finding it, I was hoping that was proof that they were at walmart now. Many epople have said hey were but there is still 0 photo evidence that wave 2 deluxes are presently at walmart. However, you still helped quite a bit Emerje since that news post helped us get photo evidence of more recent findings from longhaulaser so it all worked out in the end.

I hope you guys and girls all find your wave 2s!!!!!!!!!

I was just looking at Reprolabels' Chromedome stickers and I wish I could just purchase one version of the sticker sheet once I get Chromedome instead of having to get all the options. All I really want is the sticker that turns his visor into his ninja eyes.

I hear you, all I want for soudnwave is the stickers for his knees since that part looks blatantly empty. But no instead they give you a whole kit completely turning the alt mode into a boombox (getting rid of any retooling) and turning the inside into a disco. That's fun for some people, sure, but I wish they gave options where you could get the more wacky stuff aside.

You did a good job Bounti, your instincts were right on track, it wasnt news then since they were being found there, but since there wasnt any restock since, we were looking for news of them being there now.

It was odd that wave 2 came and then the only restock was wave 1 (both in the US and Canada). And now we just wanted to show that the US (and canada, in a previous post) were finally getting wave 2 back

I just got Astrotrain and Alpha Trion. Not a huge fan of Trion, I really dont like that lion mode and there is a real missed opportunity getting the lepvis to peg in with a tab right under the torso.

Anyways, Astrotrain is great. Just great. I liked the mold before but the colour scheme is a great cross between teh g1 toy and the cartoon and it is just the right tone of grey for the details to pop out. There is so much detail that was invisible on the bright orange Sentinel plastic. Most especially, I love those little squares at the base of the Astrotrain helmet. This toy looks awesome. I much preffer him to my Evilastar.

did you get them with one of your deals

Not yet, Walmart doesnt price match very well but they have a kickass return policy. So, I buy them at walmart (for $22.50 USD) so I can have them right away and guarantee that I do have them and then when they show up at TRU, I buy them with my raincheck (which would make them $16 USD each) and return them in box to walmart to get my money back. I just did it with the wave 2 deluxes and Rumble last friday.

Ive seen all four at walmart, down at the very bottom of Texas.

Huh, I thought you were forgoing Trion for Lio Convoy.

Just got all 4 wave2 deluxes at Walmart for the clearance price.

Walgreens in Oregon now have Brainstorm - I was somehow able to fight temptation and NOT buy.

Kurona wrote:Huh, I thought you were forgoing Trion for Lio Convoy.

getting both. Both are exclusive to their respective markets and offer up a different take on this wacky mold. I wanted Alpha trion's bot mode but Lio Convoy's other modes which are far more uniform.

Also, I mispelt the word pelvis.

It's pelvis written wrong.

This is seriously news? We had Wave 2 deluxes in Erie, PA's Walmarts well over a month ago. Now, we've not seen them get restocked in about as much time but we been had them.

Yeah, exactly, the news is that they are finally restocked.

Here is how I will be posing Astrotrain and Sentinel Prime to try to differentiate them as much as possible.

Alternatively... don't pose them near each other

Lol - good point not posing them together, but I feel the same way about SP wearing the engine-block out, rather than the ship-cone for Astrotrain. Which all of you are making it difficult for me to refrain from buying...!

I'm trying to not buy the entire TR line here! But it's so easy to impulse-spend.....

Astrotrain is sporting some mighty fancy dance shoes there.

Voyager TR Prime is scheduled to arrive a week from tomorrow. I'll let you all know what I think.

I hope they don't get ahead of themselves too much with these releases. Otherwise, it might be a thing where the wave 6 of combiner wars was reaching people a full 5 or 6 months before wave 1 of Titans return. I don't want that big of a gap to happen again

I must admit I am a bit sad that no one noticed I was trying to emulate Sentinel's IDW look with his back canons:





Also, I am surprised at how much paint AStrotrain has. I didnt know until I held him but those stabilisers in the back are fully painted grey and its not black paint on grey plastic on his legs but grey paint on black plastic instead.

To be fair, that is from a while back. Most people hopped on with post-DOOP, as that was a soft reboot and, in a lot of peoples' opinions, where it got really good.

SP looks best with DEM BACK CANNONS

Talking of Sentinel, what's the consensus on Titan Force Sentinel? Because I'm considering getting that set at it's reduced prices - their Brainstorm is, pardon the pun, a no-brainer; I do like Windblade in those colours and I'd totally be happy putting her with Road Rage and Pyra Magna... but what about Sentinel? Is he alright? I don't like the translucency and sea of warm colours much (compared to retail Sentinel's grey on the thighs and such for breakup) but I'm curious about in-hand opinions.

Here you go...I took them this weekend

I guessed as much. If anyone else wants early toys, there are a bunch of wave 3 deluxes for standard retail price. I will be waiting for retail though inc ase these are rejects.

I went to a TRU during my lunch break to get RID Bisk (good toy but not the best). And I took some pics. For anyone jealous though, the deluxes and warriors are $20 a piece. So while the immense amount of stock could seem fun, I think the US has the better deal right now with finding deluxes are $10. I can't have those crazy deals.... but I can have these awesome pics

That's actually a beautiful sight.

Aside from the initial QC issues I had (and the miss-assembly in all Titan Master sockets) I rather like the SDCC Sentinel. It's the paint. In particular, it is the only version on which the rail car wheels are painted. TR Sentinel has only the interior sets painted silver, and Astrotrain has none painted. There's more of a uniform color scheme to the fuselage and wings in Shuttle mode, with nice paint accents on the cockpit. Overall, I like him just a bit more than the TR version, but not significantly.

If I had to do it over again, I might have passed since I was able to find Walgreens Brainstorm pretty easily and I prefer the red RiD version of Windblade (and am actually disappointed in that Windblade mold, anyway.) Considering I bought the SDCC set to get Brainstorm and Windblade, I am pleasantly surprised by Sentinel, and he has easily surpassed Windblade in my mind.

I hope this helps.

There are still motormasters there?

They are part of a country wide holiday restock. There were other voyagers but at less than 10$ they all soldout except for motormaster

Those shots remind me how much I want Highbrow and Chromedome. I need to pick up all the Decepticons as well. I haven't seen them around here yet.

So Canada has the stock, but not the prices, while America has the prices, but not the stock. Fun times!
