    He says this was the only NEW Wave 3 figure he found. The others were Slug and Drift.

    No worries, when Hasbro distribution "slugs" off, my interest drifts away.

    More movie figures? YAWN.

    Another CA sighting counting as a USA sighting? DOUBLE YAWN.

    Unless we get multiple States, in a broader geographic area, all this "sighting" really says is that CA may have gotten the wrong box ONCE. :rolleyes2  What's worse, going out to check your own store yields completely random results: a sighting in CA does NOT indicate a broader distribution or schedule of distribution.

    CA and TX and NY may as well be separate islands in the Pacific, as far as Hasbro distribution is concerned.

    I so surprise that.  I finally got Wave 3 voyager like Nitro and Scorn, now I gotta wait for Wave 3 deluxe Bumblebee, and Crosshairs, & Leader Dragonstorm.

    :lol  Distribution is so bulls*** with this movie. Wave 2 hasn't been released and most stores are so hung up on Wave 1 any chance of anything else (haven't seen any voyagers outside of Grimlock) showing up would require a wish on the Dragon Balls.

    Besides so what if someone in California found a Wave 3 deluxe, California should be the exception to the rule here because they are the first and sometimes only place to get this stuff. It'd be more interesting if someone found them in Ohio, if anyone can complain about piss poor distribution is anyone living here in Ohio.

    So while everyone goes out looking for Bee, Strafe, & Crosshairs I'll just sit here and wait till Bigbadtoystore or Hasbrotoyshop puts them up for (pre)order.

    I haven\'t seen a single Wave 2 deluxe or Voyager anywhere. All of my local Walmarts have removed the TLK displays and are choking on Slash and Grimlock. Target is the same story. The big one step Dragonstorm is clogging up the shelves as well. 

    Leader Prime and Megatron can easily be found. They\'ll shelfwarm for months as well.

    Bad movie plus terrible quality and higher prices means horrendous sales. This debacle is going to give buyers pause on ordering Transformers in the future. Distribution was terrible and will only get worse. 

    I completely blame Hasbro and the insistence of wave releases and terrible case pack quantity.

    I knew it. I knew it. After weeks of searching waiting, I finally gave in last week and ordered Drift off of the Hasbro Toy Shop. I had the feeling that after ordering him, he would show up at retail a few days later. Distribution of this line has been totally crappy since April.

    I can't believe this. I've only seen the wave 2 voyagers and there was only 1 of each. I grabbed megs but hound was gone the next day. For my area we're still stuck in TR wave 3 and all the rid toys at my local are gone and have been that way since early July.

    EDIT: I forgot about legion class.
