    It's probably been answered before, but how do the various waves of Animated toys ship? So far all that I've been able to find is that wave 3 Voyagers ship two Grimlock and two Lugnut, and wave 4 Voyagers ship with one Optimus, one Grimlock, one Lugnut, and one Blitzwing per case.

    Does anyone know how the other waves ship? (particularly wave 2 and 4 Deluxes)

    Wv2 dx :
    2ea BA & ratchet, 1ea prime, BB, Lockdown, prowl
    Wv4 dx :
    2ea swoop, sentinel, E.G.BB, jazz
    (wv4 revision2 replaces jazz w/1 snarl & 1 soundwave)
    wv2 voyager :
    1ea prime, megs, bulkhead, starscream

    Each wave includes several revisions,
    so other combos are possible.

    Here's hoping that a wv4 revision w/2+ blitzwings shows up.
    He's just too hard to find so far.

    Ah, well that explains why every toy besides Bumblebee suddenly became available in my area. (and I wish I knew that he was going to be doubled up in a future revision before I paid 16 bucks for him)

    Thanks.

    Not all stores get every revision, usually its just whatever is available when they call for more stock.

    That seems to be how deluxes are going. The initial case assorment has the new figures alomost exclusively, and the revisons put older wave figures back into the mix.
