To our surprise, Reddit user justagamer135 has shared photographic proof of his sighting of the new Transformers Studio Series Wave 14 Deluxe SS-78 Revenge Of The Fallen Sideswipe at US retail.
According to the information shared, SS-78 ROTF Sideswipe was found (and bought) at a Meijer store. This is another case of a figure not officially revealed yet that shows up at stores (and we even had seen in-hand images before). He’s the only new mold on this wave which should consists of SS-78 Sideswipe, SS-86 Blurr SS-86 Kup and SS B-127. Time to check your local Meijer stores to try to grab this figure for your collection.
Happy hunting!

Thank you nevermore

I knew shouldn't have replied from my mobile phone… of course F0789 is ROTF Sideswipe, so this is a misilisting with an incorrect number (29 instead of 78) and the wrong photos. Weird since usually EE doesn't make this kind of mistake.
G1Optimal
you correctly guessed it
just found this page UPC/EAN barcode list for modern Transformers toys (i didnt know this page exsited)
Under the listing
78 Sideswipe (Revenge of the Fallen): Hasbro product code # F0789, UPC # 630509991051, EAN # 5010993807406
I noticed F0789 and both pages have a product code of HSF0789 so maybe it is as this might have identified it
Nevermore
EDIT: That's the assortment number for the Studio Series Deluxe Class, not the individual product code number. My bad.

Dose anyone know if studio series 29 is being reissued or just a mistaken listing for studio series 78

Yep, they were very friendly and I also understand the stress of what they're doing now. Just took some time but in the end everyone wins. I've actually found locally that if an item isn't in the system, the store will still find a way to ring it up, as long as a street date warning doesn't appear.

Nice. Sounds like you had a very easy going cashier. I've heard stories of employees who when they come across a street date or a toy that isn't in the system they hold it no matter what.
Hopefully everyone here who wants a Sideswipe will be as lucky as you.

We just told them the price of the other studio series figures and the lady just manually entered it in the system. $18.99 is what our Walmart is selling them for. We have Meijer in our area where he was first spotted, but I had no luck tracking him down there. Walmart for the win!

Curious what you did to get them to let you buy it. What price did you end up paying for it?
Rookbartley
Yes, got mine yesterday. Be warned, though, heard a few reports of issues at checkout as it isn't in the system, and sure enough, we had that problem yesterday. With some assistance, we were on our way, Sideswipe in hand.

Finally found Swipe out in the wilds of Walmart.

Has SS78 Sideswipe been spotted at any Walmarts yet?

I like how the figure looks, but it isn't different enough from DOTM Sideswipe to make me want to buy the figure
Minernick
Haha Okay, now I got it. I won't tell anymore about this.
Thanks for kind replying.

Sorry to interrupt but, I'm really curious about this.
Is Universal studios exclusive count as a Fan channel exclusive?
