i was checking walmart online and i saw that they have wing sabre listed out of stock. my question is did Hasbro ever released wing sabre or has it been delayed/canceled. unless i was the only one not to get it ! just wanted someone to shed a little info on wing sabre.

I saw it, once, at a Wal Mart. This was probably 6 weeks ago at the least.

I have seen Zero of him in a store, and have only had two reports of him being seen within 30 miles of here. One was gone when I went to look, one someone kindly grabbed for me.

Wing Saber and the Dinobots have been out since November (I know, I have both, and both bought at Walmart).
They are part of the second Powerlinx Battles Mega assortment which had one each of Wing Saber, The Dinobots, Beachcomber, and Energon Ironhide.
These should start to appear in number in the next couple weeks as stores restock from Christmas and sales recede.
Skywarp's Ghost, Galvatron is a super pricepoint figure. Hasbro does not mix and match pricepoints.

I've only seen him once. he's pretty hard to find, the one I find has hidden in the back of of all the tf's. I guess someone tried to hide him so he could buy it later. Oh well, I finally have him.

Most of the stores in my area never had them. I had to go to an out of the way walmart store to find mine. At the time they had several Wingsabers and Grimlock/Swoop sets, I went back the next week for the Grimlock and Swoop and got there just in time to snag the last one and I haven't seen either of them since.
It would be nice if they would start showing up in those bonus 2-packs! It seems like thats Hasbro's plan for getting rid of the figures they produced in excess. Hopefully they produced more of the WS/Grimlock and Swoop sets and most of them just never made it to the stores yet.
I wouldn't take any chances though, If you see them in a store I'd get them while you can just incase they do end up being really rare.

Where I live I have seen the assortment that has Wing Saber and the 2-Pack quite alot. In fact where I bought mine they must of got in least 5 cases of them. Now i doubt we will see much of them now considering the Alpha-Q and Sixshot are due to hit anytime now, so it will be like Mirage they'll pop up but after they are gone thats it.
What gets me though is people are seeing the 2-Packs with Mirage in them, yet with all of them clogging the shelves I have yet to see one packaged like that. Though I bought mine back in late May when he came out

I got mine almost 2 months ago from a Wal-mart in Paradise Valley, the one on Tatum.
He looks really great for an almost completely unposeable brick whose big gimmick is to become questionable limbs for E-prime. His vehicle mode... um... well... it's special. I was falling to pieces with excitement for this guy when I first got him, but when his actual uses fell to displaying him as a robot or using him as limbs for Prime (and the only good combination of limbs being the "combat" combination -IMHO- which could really have used better articulation in the arms) made him... not as cool.
After seeing Galaxy Convoy, I'm giving serious thought about just selling Wing Sabre off.

Hmm.
Personally, I want this guy simply because he is among the last Energon figs I do not own (the others being a Beachcomber and the rest of the Combiner's limbs).
I know he sucks for poseability, but I'm sure I've had worse. And I really want him for E. Prime, to boot.
Now, the problem lies in the fact that I'm wanting the Superlink version, 'cuz I want all the paint apps. But I've never seen a direct comparison of the Energon and SL versions -- all the Energon pics just have him in his box.
So... while I'm trying to decide if $48 is worth it (including shipping), could someone post somewhat thorough pics of E. Wing Saber, so I can do some comparing? I'm basically trying to decide if I should go with the SL version, or wait (and pray) for the Energon.

I couldn't find one in Pittsburgh either, so I got one for my son on ebay. There are quite a few listed, and if you find an auction that just started you can "buy it now" for close to retail or maybe less.

Yeah, he seems a bit rare. I haven't seen alot of him since I picked mine up a couple of months ago. I'm not sure why some of these figures are being released in limited numbers.
