Hard to say. To be fair to the next wave or two of Titans Return, they're not planned for a few months. We just got the reveals a few weeks ago. It seems almost like a planned gap between wave 4 and wave 5 to account for TLK.
So some is gonna depend on how long they run TLK, how well it sells (aka are we gonna get a swarm of Bees like last film, or if this higher priced garbage kills the market). Some depends on general Hasbro distribution idiocy.
But remember Trypticon is also part of that wave for TR, and he's a big deal late summer/fall toy. For only that alone and the timing of things, I feel like they'll have Generations for fall into Christmas as the movie hype dies down. We've all seen it and I'm sure Hasbro has too. Outside of the long tail of the FIRST movie, the movie toylines basically die a few weeks after the film opens. It has that strong initial run and then drops off.
I'm talking out of my ass, largely, and I'll fully cop to that.
I'm considering my anecdotal experiences and observations both "live and in person" and from this forum over the past ten years...
(I might just BBTS preorder some of the bits, though. I'm NOT missing Overlord or Twin Twist. I wasn't sure about Octane but then I remembered I need a Tall Tankor to go with my Fat Tankor...
