2005 Board member Talib1980 has shared with us a post he found in a Facebook Transformer group confirming that the Wave 2 of the Walmart exclusive Retro Headmasters have been found at US Retail. The new wave was found at a Santa Ana, California Walmart. The 1st wave was found just over a month ago. This wave includes Weirdwolf, Highbrow and Skullcruncher. These re-releases of the Titans Return figures feature new decos and headsculpts and come in delicious G1-styled packaging!

Dont fret on wave one, they should be everywhere eventually. Already found wave 1 here at 2 dif walmarts but they were gone so fast there\'s no way more wont be coming.
I think both walmart & target are having trouble keeping up with everything but soon it should all be in circulation
Am guessing scalpers scooped up most of the first round but round 2 might be an avalanche like Blaster was.

Who cares? At least half if not all of them were gone right after that picture was taken.

So are there still not any in-hand photos yet?
No.

Does Wave 2 have a different sku assignment than 1?

So I went back to my local Walmart today to get the other figures from wave one and well sadly they were all gone. So I only have Mindwipe as for right now and I do hope they restock them because I really need Hardhead, Brainstorm and Chromedome.

AWESOME!!! Moe figures i'll never find. Seeming as how I still can't find a single 1 from the first wave.
Welp. At least all the Scalpers will just buy them all up once again and toss them all on eSlave and Fakebook Marketplace. w00t!

Well up to my quarantine start there was nary a Walmart locally that had dick for anything expect a handful of Cyberverse. Not that I was dying for much of it, however given my recent experience with Generations releases 2 weeks could easily see it come and go. Netflix Wave 2 maybe lasted on shelves for week, only Elita warming for maybe a week longer than the rest. Wave 2 ER popped up once and was gone in days. The only sign of wave three was a single, lonely Runamuck.

Man, I can't believe they already have wave 2 coming out. I need to get the rest of wave 1, since my Walmart only 4 figures and it was one of each of the characters when I last went. I did manage to get Mindwipe, but I still need to get Hardhead, Brainstorm and Chromedome. In wave 2 I will pick up Highbrow and Weirdwolf if I have a chance. I might skip Skullscruncher, since I already own the original Titan Return one, but that is undecided so far.

Really looking forward to getting Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher for the Japanese heads. I’ll probably just do what I did with Mindwipe and stuff the TR version in the box and display it like that since they still look nice. Obviously they don’t look as nice as the new figures but the packaging makes up for it.

Thank you. Although now I'm worried about Mindwipe, I know it uses some of the same materials but I hadn't read reports of anyone having issues with him disintegrating.
Edit: found pics on Twitter. That's depressing. Fortunately my Mindwipe didn't seem to have any problems when I sold it recently, or else I wouldn't have been able to sell him. Or at least not at normal price. It sounds like everyone's Wolfwire has the issue, but maybe Mindwipe is less prone to it?

Well it would be ironic that what they can get on the shelves is stuff everybody already has instead of the new stuff…

Wave 1 just popped up at my walmart last week. Don't despair.
Capirus
I mean probably. People say they're hitting shelves here but I'm pretty sure it's just a mass hallucination.
Wreckgar
I can\'t even find wave 1 in chicago because of scalpers. And now wave 2 already? Jesus

I don't have any definitive confirmation, but I believe I read elsewhere on the forums that a reliable source of inside info has said that the same plastic issues were corrected on Mindwipe. Apologies for being so vague, and I don't actually have the original release to compare side by side either.
Really hoping that this is true, as I already have Mindwipe and have been excited to pick up the other two Decepticons. If anyone can confirm this any further that would be great.

I’m still waiting for a Grimlock, so this photo is painful.

Ok, but seriously, can we talk for a moment about the spray bottle left on the shelf there?
Put it back where you found it, you #@&*ing SLOBS. This isn\'t your house.
