And a few SWTFs. | I think it is a good thing wave 1 and 2 are being released so close together. The entire Movie cast is more or less available in some form or other right now - the upgraded Bumblebee and a larger Frenzy are the only exceptions that I can think of. Quote: |

Michael Bay may not have raped my childhood, but I think he may have molested it.

While, Bonecrusher and Swindle are added in during wave 2 and I believe the two Protoforms are the ones pulled to put them in. And, while I haven't seen a wave three box yet, I have heard that wave three inserts 08/09 BB, Arcee & Dreadwing, but I have no idea who gets pulled for them.
FABs: Wave 1 (only wave I stocked and we got in) has Prime, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide, Brawl and Starscream x2 each. The others we've seen are probably waves 2 and 3 (assuming that there is a wave three of the FABs).
I really didn't pay much attention to the Real Gears or anything else. Though I did pick up Softimus Prime for my little girl. Comes in a case of 8 of 4x Softimus and 4x Slumble Bee though we seemed to sell out really really fast. | Deluxe Class: The protoforms were part of a preview assortment (like the Star Wars preview figures) and as far as I'm aware, don't ship with the regular movie deluxe figures (none of the cases my Walmart got marked wave 1 had any).
The next assortment (technically wave 3, but Hasbro might label them wave 4) with Arcee, 08 BB and Dreadwing should be hitting in a few weeks (might see them once the movie hits)
FABs: Wave 2 (which adds Brawl and Ratchet) are also shipping.
Real Gears launched with wave 2, I was able to pick up Booster x10 on Saturday.

I'm not really sure why this is though, but it could have something to do with us being 'Transformers Movie HQ' or something.
