    This morning at Walmart in Tustin [EDIT: it was Irvine actually], CA, I came across a fresh case of the Wave 2 Mini-con deployers: Velocirazor, Beastbox, Sandsting, Ratbat. They were $4.93 each but I didn't buy any. I don't think these have been sighted yet? Based on the news reports it looks like Wave 1 was just recently found at Target.

    Those look quite nice.

    But maybe Beastbox should have been box-shaped or something.

    I think I'm good with Jetstorm, Slipstream, Airazor, and Divebomb. These look nice though.

    I mean....I'm not one to argue personal taste, but really dude?
    None of the Generations or Combiner Wars interest you?

    I don't like the 3-step transformers or the movie toys at all, but I'd never be so bold as to suggest "they don't make good toys nowadays".

    Come on, dude.

    Hopefully they can just skip straight to wave 3! :lol 

    I don't think we need to go off on a tangent here, but #HasbroBadDistribution! :lol 

    I too am concerned that wave 2 hit too soon. Hasbro should pace itself... ain't no one can go that many rounds in bed, Hasbro! SLOW DOWN! :lol

    Really? Have you tried these? They're a lot of fun, even on their own without the Deployers. The fact that their snap on armor can form yet another beast figure is just awesome, and at $5.00 a pop, they're well worth it.

    I just got wave 1, I've been chomping at the bit to get wave 2 and now it looks like I might not have to wait too long. Yay! :D

    Minor correction - it was in fact the Irvine Walmart, not Tustin (I had always thought this particular WM was technically in Tustin).

    Saw these in NM a couple of days ago. I like them. They look better than I thought they would and @ 5 bucks....not too shabby. They're much better looking than the legend RID toys and those are more expensive. And they've skipped wave 1 here.

    The first Target in my area finished their reset and there were no pegs for these or the deployers.... I wonder what the deal is.

    Seriously. Every store I've been to in MD and PA is an utter wasteland.
