    I forget, does wave 2 of Generations include Dirge as well?

    Thanks SharkyMcShark and griffin.

    This explains why RK was shipping WFC Megatron and not Soundwave (different waves).

    Is there any chance that some of the waves might be released at the same time e.g. wave 2 and 3 simultaneously? I recall that this has been done before.

    Simultaneous releases only occur if a wave hasn't been released to the stores when it arrived (like a set release date, but the stock arrived early).
    And even if that happens, case assortments are still fixed, so you'd probably still have to go to different stores to get the different waves.

    Still a long wait for some of the ones I really want. But at least we should keep our eyes peeled Megs and Darkmount, they should be out in the next week or so I guess.

    I thought the waves were only split into groups of two in America (where WFC Bee and OP were a separate wave to Drift and Thrust)

    Nah, first wave had four figures, but each following wave has 2 new ones in it (could be intentional having 2 every wave...).

    TRU in America had an advance shipment of WFC Bee and Op for their WFC game preview promo - but as far as I know, nowhere else had a wave of just those two.

    Again from America, where they caught up to our 2 month lead, and now overtaking...
    Wave 2 AA Scouts (Insecticon, Oilpan and Breacher)

    And closer to the source, in HK, JustOwen has now found wave 3 figures at retail (Gen Soundwave, Red Alert, AA Terradive and Tomahawk), so will be out in America soon as well.

    Speed Stars versions of the Lights & Sounds toys are also being found in America (we didn't get the RPMs versions here, and aren't expected to get the SS versions either - NZ will though).

    Damn, I want to see wave 2 out here, and HK already have wave 3? I hope we start to see them very soon.
