Thanks to fellow 2005 Boards Shark Jumper, we have a report of Titans Return Blitzwing And Octone (Octane) Sighted At Target. The figures were found at Manhattan Beach Target in California for 28.99 Dollars.
You can check the pictures after the jump and join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards. Happy Hunting!

As others have stated in other threads, BBTS has a rather long recovery period after the holidays. Not to mention they've been hit with a lot of imports recently – many of us have Dirges, Godbombers, and Artfires still in the warehouse since last week. Look how long the US Trypticon took to put up for preorder. I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait till mid-June for BBTS to start getting back on track.

I'll have to check my local Target. Can't seem to find these anywhere online.

Couldn't find a Soundwave around here to save my life forever. Suddenly local Walmart has it one day after I find one on a Target shelf. Walmart has now had 15 soundwaves sitting on the same shelf ever since. Distribution of TF toys sucks.

I wish I had such magical Targets in my area that actually, you know, CARRY TRANSFORMERS.
All of mine just have empty pegs and dust on the shelves where the Transformers are supposed to be. Except for TR Deluxe Hot Rond. They do have those. And a few of the cheap step changer things from RID. If lucky.

I just saw on RK where it's estimated they have them in stock on July 1st…..

That sticker is for the wave 1 movie toys which do have a release date, as they were wave 1 of a new line.

Saw a blitzwing in my area but missing the head, so no buy…

Instagram post by Trooper Bear • Mar 25, 2017 at 7:50pm UTC would suggest otherwise!
There's definitely something going on with preorders being restricted before a certain date.
BenjaminXavier
There are no street dates for non "wave 1/line launch" toys.
Target just happened to get this wave first, it will hit elsewhere as well. Walmart had wave 2 deluxes for 2 months before anywhere else, this literally happens all the time.

Oh its all levels of frustrating! I have to drive a good hour or two north of where I live and when I do well the Targets there are shit in terms of selections. At this point its best to just wait as BBTS drags their feet on preorders which is all levels of frustrating

I suspect there is a street date, hence the lack of pre orders till now, but somehow it got broken. Target got cases without the date on? Dunno.
Robotkingdom, for whom it's already 1st June, have preorders up, I wouldn't be surprised if the US retailers followed tomorrow.

Every target here has between 5-10 Broadsides. Hasbro's case assortments are so asinine, from Transformers to Star Wars just terrible.

My walmart has NO movie figures except for the one step things and legends. The rest are empty pegs. There's a bunch of the new RID figures and lots of Chromedome and Highbrows too..

I'm a bit concerned that these 2 will never show up in my area. Broadside has been a bit of a shelfwarmer around here.

Is there an official street date on this voyager wave? Why hasn't Walmart gotten these yet?
Although Walmart is usually only gung-ho on Movie-related stuff… so I guess I'm not surprised.

Kind of strange that after close to 1 month on the shelves that Target is still the only retailer carrying these. Strange and a little frustrating!

Target in Pensacola did not have them again over the weekend but they did have brawn and the red bumble repaint. Broadside of course (x3) warming those shelves. He was the only box, I'd have loved to score a combiner wars, that's funny Target had him on the shelf.
Sportimus
Great! Thanks. I still haven't found either of these.

It's molded in purple.
