    Default BigW no longer stocking Generations

    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
    The Generations line is Quit/Discontinued at Big W. It's status on the computer is Q7 as opposed to OR (on range)

    Hangon, does that mean Big W will miss these waves completely? If that's true, other stores better pick it up otherwise that is complete BS.

    The Generations Line are not store orderable. They are allocated by the buyers in support office. The line has been Q7 since xmas and I am almost certain that Big W will not be getting the new waves unless they come out for a brochure as a special purchase.

    That is why I decided to import them

    Sorry but just keeping you guys in the loop

    Much appreciated mate. Just annoys me now that I have to order them online. If I find the funds to do so.

    (moved several topics at the request of a member, so that others knew about this BigW Generations status)

    Same status as New Zealand - we saw Waves 1, 3 and 5 ( 5 being Thunderwing, Skullgrin and WFC Cliffjumper). Otherwise no more Generations.

    Have to hope that I can find Blurr while here on holiday

    Ahh this explains why I haven't been able to find any Generations at Big W. That's a shame as they are the cheaper than Target!!! So far the ONLY place in my case is that only Target has gotten the RtS and latest Generations and its the most expensive at $28.

    I think these are RtS not generations which are orderable at store level

    Hasbro did apparently say that they wanted to keep non-movie stuff on the shelves while the Dark of the Moon line is going. They damn well better.
