Like a vast, predatory bird, the new Leader class Sky Shadow looms large at US retail! This new addition to the Titans Return line has arrived in Toys R Us stores in Pennsylvania and Virginia – our second new sighting from the line this week, after the earlier sighting of Brawn and Roadburn at retail. Thanks goes to TFW2005 members NeilJam and WockaWockaWocka for the heads up in our Transformers Sightings section.

I finally found one today at one of my Walmart's. It would not even ring up at the register. It took another employee and two managers to find the price on it. It was the ONLY new Transformer they had for whatever reason. It felt like I found myself a bit of a treasure, haha! Anyway I am really impressed with it. He's massive but not in a terribly bulky way. Very impressive and imposing looking bot. It seems like the Titans Return line has done a great job with their Deluxe and Leader class figures but seems to still struggle with most of their Voyager sized offerings.
ETA: Fount at Eastern Washington State.

El Paso or Houston?

Found him this weekend in Texas

Sounds like old school blocky robots
But pretty bad for the QC do you have a pic of the missing tailfin?

Mine should be waiting for me when I get home!!!

I picked this up from Wal Mart last week. He was missing a tailfin and had melted plastic in certain parts. Terrible QC and very little play value. It's a big block former. The top doesn't even really transform. His torso just basically lays down. Only the legs "transform" in any meaningful way. This doesn't bode well for Overlord unless it's really retooled.

I'm still waiting and seeing with Amazon. He looks a lot more fun than Sixshot.

Saw a sky shadow for $47 at toys r us earlier today, honestly not too upset about the extra $3 I spent from amazon

That would be great if my local Walmart, TRU and Target weren't still shelf warming PMOP, Seekers and Soundwaves (and all of their websites are terrible). None of which I've had any desire of buying. So when I finally spot a Phase 6er like Sixshot or Sky Shadow, I don't mind paying the 10 extra bucks considering how much I'm saving on Gas and time. Plus I'm under Amazon Prime so there's free 2 day shipping.

Target and Walmart have leaders currently for $40+

50 dollars for Black Shadow? I'd rather wait for my preorder to come in then since I'm paying 46, I don't know if stores are still selling leaders for 40 but that'd be great to find Black Shadow that way… As for Brawn & Chase, yeah I too have them on preorder through BBTS but I'm going out of town today to see if I can find them at Meijers (as well as Broadside & some X-Men), if I do find them then yeah I'm canceling it.
I'm just so glad I was able to get all of Wave 4 I'm missing, besides Perceptor & Kup, preordered on BBTS. Means I'm not going berserk because stores aren't carrying anything and I can just wait a month for BBTS to get them in and shipped to me.

In the US, yes the 1st sighting was last week. I think the 1st sighting in Canada was last month or earlier

Is this only coming out now? I got this 2 weeks ago in Canada, I must have been really lucky, it was on a shelf by itself…

I'm holding out for Overlord. But cool for everyone who wants this version of the mold.

About time.

Saw 2 of them at Wilmington, NC TRU yesterday.
YoungPrime
That's basically what I did. Then yesterday I spotted him for 49.99 on Amazon and hit "Buy now with 1 click". After that was confirmed I removed my pre-order from BBTS. I still have Brawn and Roadburn for pre-order there though but that's up in the air as well if I find them at retail or somewhere cheaper.

Even though I have on preorder through BBTS I'll still keep an eye out for this guy… Man does he look awesome!
