I actually bought mine off the shelf at my local Target. I cancelled my pre-order from my phone and walked out with him. It was the one and only time I ever saw one at retail.
TFW has in-hand pics of Scourge up. I really like the look of these Terrorcons so far. With the "Mad Max" vehicle modes, they suggest to me a more evil aligned faction of Junkions. I've (more-or-less successfully) sworn off buying Movieverse toys that don't fit in with my existing...
