:tflaugh i was doing the closing shift at my local Wal-mizzle and saw an entire pallet from the night shift full of TF movie wave stuff. About a week ago. I would and could have dropped a butt-load of cash but my manager caught wind of the REALLY obvious stamps on the boxes in full color that sayy do not sell till may 31st. THere were a bunch of little dudes like Dirt Boss eho was a small fork lift and Depth Charge who looked like a small blue speed-boat these were priced $9.88 and some other goofy stuff like transforming weapons and voice changing helmets. but the coolest thing I saw was the Leader asst. One Prime-one Megatron per case. Prime looks like the one from before with swords that suck into his arms but Megy was MASSIVE. He is so friggin huge the first movie figure could hide behind this one! He Yells at you when you push his chest button. I AM MEGATRON!!! He is freakin' loud!! Could'nt help my self had to crack open a few of the cases and get a glimpse!

^wow deluze prices for scouts. way to go walmart :fire but it makes my ebay purchase of 6 scouts so much more satisfying. now if only they could actually get here before the 30th

 

So I suppose that the 15th "preview wave" isn't gonna happen. Went around to all my usual stores today, and not a trace of them. I did notice a bit of restocked animated deluxes, but nothing ROTF. I was really hoping to score a soundwave this morning, but either stores are ignoring the release date in a bad way, or they're scared at everything else being labeled for the 30th.

You too :roll, I still haven't check the other wally world or TRU in my area(going to wait until later this evening) however I hear now that they are going to keep the preview wave until the 30th. I hope this rumor is wrong though.

the funny thing is, I'm more upset about scouts costing $9.88. 3 months ago, we could get deluxes for that price! Guess we're forced to go onto ebay and purchase those stolen chinese toys for about $6 a pop, after those crazy international shipping costs :tflaugh

Went to Wally and Target in Tracy today... nothing... zip... zero. Methinks the retailers got mafia'd into holding back the previews too :tfsad

Well, virtually nothing here...I did see Legends figures at one store, but otherwise...tons of re-stocked Animated! Boy, Hasbro's communication with all their retailers stinks... :poop

Searching for figs when you know they are out doesn't feel like a waste of time & gas. THIS crap feels like it alright :tfevil

Lets see

 

Walmart-nothing

Walmart-nada

TRU-ROTF activitiy books

Walmart-FAB Megatron, BB, and Jolt, hidden behind the Terminator stuff (real smart guys :roll)

K-mark-none

 

Happy hunting!

Looked ALL damn day and nothing.

 

I did get Mighty Muggs Grimlock for $8 (everythings on sale at Target) and Seth MacFarlanes Cavalcade of Comedy DVD (with "Sex With Optimus Prime" short) but no ROTF anywhere :tfevil

 

I'm sure I'll keep looking tomorrow .

 

Markticon.

Went looking for Preview Soundwave today, all pumped up to find him, and nothing! I did find the ROTF Robot Heroes, tho, all of them except the Bumblebee/Long Haul set. I bought the Prime/Blackout and Megatron/Skids sets.

 

I'm still torn about what to get first. I really can't spend too terribly much on day 1, maybe I'll get Prime and a couple Deluxes and a Voyager. *shrug*
