Thanks to TFW2005 boards member Nevermore, we have some sighting news to pass along to you. Warrior Class Night Ops Bumblebee and Gold Armor Grimlock as well as Three-Step Changer Sideswipe were found at Germany retail this past weekend. The Warrior Class wave continues the tradition of Bumblebee getting his black redeco while Grimlock sports a more traditional Generation 1 color.
There’s new sightings happening everyday, so help us and your local collector friends by using our sightings forum! Happy hunting TFW!

Hooray, Hasbro hasn't forgotten the EU territories! And yeah, gotta get 'em out for Christmas time.

Saw Warrior Class Night Ops Bumblebee and Gold Armor Grimlock as well as Three-Step Changer Sideswipe at the Real store in Ratingen-Breitscheid today. Several hours later, I saw them again at the Real store in Düsseldorf-Heerdt.
I think I've seen Three-Step Changer Steeljaw at a dozen different Real stores at this point, but not at any other chain yet. Meanwhile, the Warrior Class figures from the previous two waves (Optimus Prime, Drift, Sideswipe and Jazz) have popped ut at multiple Spiele Max, Rossmann and Galeria Kaufhof stores at this point (plus Drift and Optimus Prime also at numerous Intertoys stores), with Drift of course having originally been available in a wave all by himself found at numerous Karstadt and Galeria Kaufhof stores months ago.
All of these figures have already been found in the UK.
In other "probably of interest to 0.01 percent of the population" news, German Real stores are also stocking a crapton of RID Titan Heroes (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Steeljaw and Sideswipe) in preparation for the Christmas season. While I've seen Optimus Prime and Steeljaw at an Intertoys store back in May, these are the first German sightings for Bumblebee as well as the wave 2 Figure Sideswipe. Amazingly, I actually saw a kid walk off with one of the figures in his hands today!
