I just deleted mine from my cart a couple minutes ago for anyone interested, it had been sitting there a couple of days but I didn't want to take the risk with this over order BS.

damn that sucks! Luckily I got my order its on its way can't wait!!!
Looks like he's short for a Deluxe...that's awesome.
Mines shipped so no worries here
*whew*
Just a heads up BBTS are taking preorders on their next batch of Warpaths, you can also get 3packs with Wheeljack and Thundercracker.

Its hard not to panic about missing out. But I have a feeling Warpath will get another release later down the track. Maybe repackaged in the new movie line as a new color variant in some exclusive pack. Just a guess though. And eventually he will show up in United it just hasn't been announced yet. He seems to be a popular character as he was in the War for Cybertron game and will likely show up again.
Is there any reason to believe that this toy won't be released in local stores?
Yes.Quote:

FYI, these are the Generations waves:
Cliffjumper/Thunderwing/Skullgin - locally released
Cliffjumper/Thunderwing/Scourge/Kup - not released here yet
Scourge/Kup/Thundercracker/Wheeljack - not released here yet
Thundercracker/Wheeljack/Warpath - not released here yet
They are hard enough to find them in HK and the US - Aust will be short changed again.Quote:

Not necessarily, Magnus. There's rarely any logic in what Australia gets, in what quantities and when. We just got 2009 Animated Voyagers that we'd all long thought we'd missed (Skywarp, Wreck-Gar, Atomic Lugnut and Shockwave) at the beginning of this year. There are times when we have shelfwarmers that are internationally in demand (Machine Wars, RiD Storm Jet, Energon Ultra Magnus, mammoth Nemesis Prime, Alternators Nemesis Prime, etc.) And yes, there are times that we miss out altogether. Basically it's a total crapshoot. :DQuote:

Examples:
Animated:
Voyagers that Sky Shadow points out (which we did get)
Deluxes (Rodimus, Arcee, Cyb Ironhide/Ratchet, Electrostatic Soundwave, Freeway Jazz)
Universe:
Deluxes (Hot Shot & Ratchet)
Unicron
Movie '07:
Voyagers (Premium Ironhide/Blackout)
Leader (Deep Desert Brawl)
This has probably come up in another thread, but I read somewhere that Hasbro has plans to release more Warpath in future generations waves, later in the year. And Takara are considering a United version I think.
So I'm hoping we do get another chance to get him.
Mentioned here and I think a United Warpath is inevitable.Quote:

Yeah I'll believe that when I see it. In the mean time if I find Warpath in my travels, I'm gonna snap it up lickety split. ;)
D'oh. Saw this thread hilighted under news, and thought it was in stock. grrrr hasbro, grrr...
