As usual, collectors over at Hong Kong have the privilege to purchase the brand new Transformers figures earlier than collectors at other part of the world. However, keep us posted if you have sighted any figures from the latest wave of Generations toys or Transformers:Prime at your area at our own sighting forum.
Here's a few Wreck-Gar vs. Junkheap comparison images courtesy of HK-TF:

Junkheap looks like a McDonald's-themed figure. Red and yellow color schemes rarely work. The yellow blades on his weapon make it look even more like a pinwheel than it already did.

The character's name is "Black Shadow", but is being released under the toy name of "Shy Shadow".

Also his Generations name is Sky Shadow, don't know why he's called Dark Shadow here.

As he is a repaint on Thunderwing we already know how tiny he is! Hell, the image on the screen is going to be bigger than the toy unless you're viewing it on a phone! Still, I have had my preorder in for these on BBTS for quite a while now so I'm in no hurry.

Probably not but at this point in the game the ship has sailed on those figures, you would be better off ordering those online if you are interested in it as chances of seeing them in a store is slim to none. Unless there is a stray box sitting in a warehouse or something. You might find them at TJ Maxx, Marshals or Ross if you have them in your area.

Yeah, I just saw G2 OP, Bumblebee, Tracks and a couple others at Ross. In the areas that did get them, they're still out there. You should see if anyone can give you a hook up.
EDIT: There's no more Reveal the Shield listed but HTS still has Wheeljack and Thundercracker listed in stock and BBTS still has Bumblebee. Here's a code for 25% off and free shipping to HTS: FSFAM11. Hope it helps!

Not going to find them at a Target or Walmart at this point, though...at least it's very unlikely. That line, RtS, has been discontinued. But as mentioned above, they have been showing up at the discount retailers.
*adding the quote since some people jumped in with posts ahead of me...and it was on the previous page anyhow.

There's also a rule that says you can't call them whatever you'd like. If it weren't for that damn rule, I'd call mine Dark Delight...such a shame.

Agreed, now if you excuse me, I need to go transform Scourge, Scourge, Scourge, Scourge and RiD Scourge.

And regardless, who cares what name is printed on the package? Once you take it out and put it on your shelf, you can call it whatever you want. You can call these two figures "Blackula" and "Ronald McMotorcycle" if you want.

And you should already know well enough that English isn't Mach's first language.

And I really want a good picture of Junkeheap's face. Although he is pretty much destined to stay in bike mode for Wreck-gar to ride on.

One other chain to try is Kohls. Supply is dwindling, but some near me (west of Detroit) still have the the RTS wave with Jazz and Tracks hanging around, due to overpricing and a lesser department store not being among the top 10 places Transfans look for VHTF figures. Some might have Strax-um-Darkmount too, but not much more recent Generations stuff; the Thundercracker/Wheeljack/Warpath/Kup/Scourge wave never stopped popping up sporadically in Target, TRU, and Meijers near me.
They're probably selling out as I type this, so I may as well have given tips on a Windcharger sighting. I just got 2 Wreck Gars, Perceptor, and Legends Gold(bug)blebee at a Marshalls 2 weeks ago, but you do have to be there on the day they open the case. If you can't waste the gas it takes to check every day, no guarantees.

Autobot Genocide wrote:Am all over that black shadow new face and chest and paint the figure doesnt even remind me of thunderwing,
I completely agree.
Also, dear Hasbro:
"Look at Sky Shadow. Now look at Junkheap. One of these figures looks crappier than the other. Now look at me, because this is really important. Can you guess which figure looks better? That's right, it's Sky Shadow. The shade of silver plastic you guys like to use on practically every other figure really, really sucks. So how about you guys man up and use the better shade seen on your friend Sky Shadow here. I hear ladies love it. Dudes too."

Yeah, definitely check out TJ Maxx. I found my Grapple and Strafe there, but hey never showed up at any local Wamarts, Targets,or TRU either.

I really like the goofball colours on Junkheap as well. I already have two Wreck-Gars' so Junkheap will stay in bot mode for sure.

No, he's not. I also hate that mold, but that's partially because I hate Wreck-Gar.

Ditto. Black Shadow looks pretty damn cool. Junkheap just seems...bland.
