Courtesy of 2005 Boards member Blurple Haze in our Texas Transformers Sightings Forum, we can report that the Transformers Energon Igniters Nitro Series Blitzwing And Dropkick have been found At US Retail.
These Nitro Series toys are bigger and more articulated versions of the Decepticon villains for the Energon Igniters line. Both of them were spotted at Target in Lewisville, Texas for $19.99 each one.
Happy hunting!

I found it when Walmart had the Igniters on clearance.
$5 only.

I think it might be they just didn't produce wave 2 in large quantities. Just my guess though. I think discount stores is an unlikely possibility.
WishfulThinking
Even that one goes for some $$ now as it's still relatively hard to find, if somewhat easier than the EI version. I have one I haven't opened just because, well, it could end up being worth a bit if they never make a SS version.

yeah, i've been looking for blitzwing forever. every target i ask (9-10 now) has only had the first wave, except for once when i saw dropkick and no blitzwing. target.com and walmart.com don't have them and neither do any collector's sites. i'm at a loss.

IDK if what I saw at Walmart over the weekend was a repaint or another figure but I saw an Igniter BW in camo colors…wait.. nevermind it was the tank version.
WishfulThinking
That's my hope. I think this was another case of oversaturation of wave 1, thanks to shippers and pallet drops. Overstock and wave 2 stuff that had nowhere to go once retailers moved on from BB movie product will end up at TJ Maxx or ROSS probably for the holiday season.

When ever stuff like this happens theres a high chance these will go to discount stores (cogman, tlk wave 3, tr overlord)
Nevermore
Weird, they're pretty common in Germany…

I have seen Blitzwing a few times I believe at Target.
Aimless Misfire
Well shit! I only wanted him to make a custom Whirl. Oh well, I have a lot more important stuff to go for. Guess I can just forget about this one.

Blitzwing is regularly going for $75 and up now. You can still find Dropkick for around $30 some places I think. These two were apparently a "blink and you miss them" type release.
Basically now completely unavailable, which is weird for something like energon igniters. They are both awesome by the way, as stand ins until we get/if we get better SS releases.

I saw him once at Target. Only once.
Aimless Misfire
Are these super ultra rare or something? I wanted to get Dropkick but never saw one in a store. There is only 1 on ebay. Nothing on Hasbro Pulse or BBTS. Sold out on Target.com. I didn't even know they were released.

For those interested, here's a video review for Blitzwing. It's in German, but you can clearly see what's going on.
Didn't find one for Nitro series Dropkick.
