Remember the last two waves of ROTF deluxes? (Brawn, Lockdown, Ratchet, Evac) Yeah, me either.

This is why I grabbed the last 2 waves online. Aside from the "cancelled" Rumble wave I am up to date on all waves. I'm sure we will still see F/R after the movie line, or repackaged into the the Cyberverse Commander waves, perhaps along with Powerglide
To me at least this is actually a positive as I can now put my money back into G1 which is always waiting for me during classics lulls.

(Though I personally never saw him and wish I'd bought Ratchet and Lockdown when I had the chance.)

That being said, I am confident that both final case assortments of Generations will make it in to Wal-Mart somehow... In fact, if they have plans for a massive Deluxe figure Rollback or Sale in the next two weeks I can all but guarantee it as their warehouses will more than likely ship out all older deluxe figures and latest wave stuff to push them on the consumers and make profit off of them prior to DotM's street date.
Let's hope your right on the plans for Generations.

It's not gonna keep me awake at night or anything, but I have seen many times the last wave or two from a certain line not show up in the Atlantic when a new line is about to launch.
It's a shame too because even though Atlantic has a much smaller population than most of the rest of the country it is one of the fastest growing areas in the country too, especially Moncton and Fredericton.

You gotta order them from BBTS when they pre order! I got the Kup Wheeljack, Thundercracker, Scourge wave from them and after shipping it was $10 cheaper than if I bought them at walmart!

I just ordered Wheeljack, Warpath, and Thundercracker from BBTS, they had them available as a set. I only need Wheeljack and Warpath, but I'm sure a local collector will buy my extra Thundercracker. (I got Thundercracker, Scourge, and Kup from Automaton just last week)
At $44.99 that's roughly what I'd pay at local retail per unit, but the $16 shipping kinda hurts. Oh well, it's worth the time I'll save checking local retail and being constantly dissapointed!
