Megatron
Starscream
Bulkhead
Voyager Prime (on a pallet, apparently...?)

These may be available sometime in June:
Deluxe:
Ratchet
Blackarachnia

Everything else is due out later.

Given that if you want to pick up all of what will definently be out in June (wave 2 deluxe is most likely to be more widely available in July IMPO) you'd need about $140 plus tax. And than another $20 in July when Blackarachnia and Ratchet will most likely hit saturation.

Myself, I'm only planning on getting these in June:

Lockdown, Bumblebee, Cyb Optimus Prime, Prowl, Earth Optimus Prime & Starscream. So, I'll only need about $80 plus tax. Looks like I know where some of my economic stimulus check is going to go...

Thanks for the answers. Cool to know Earth Prime will be out. Hopefully, by surprise, Blackarachnia and Ratchet will be there too!

All I need is Voyager Prime and I will have wave 1 & 2 Deluxe, wave 1, 2, & 3 Voyager, wave 1 Leader, and the box set. I need some Animated goodness soon.

i found premium jazz last night, first time i've seen him...but i'm passing on him...

and i may get earth mode prime right away too...but that'll depend on how much money i have...my wifes birthday is right before then, so i might be outta luck...

HTS put Voyager Prime up last night for a short time. It looks like I got the last one. I also pre-ordered the Universe Deluxe and Voyager figures. HTS is taking my money fast. Anyway at least I don't have to hunt down Animated now. I can set back and wait for it to come to me.

Back on topic I think wave 1 and 2 of the Deluxe and Voyager figures will be out on the 22nd. Ratchet and Blackarachnia may be harder to find and only a few area may have them but I remember wave 2 of the Movie figures being out at launch. Everything else should be later like the Activators, Cyber Slammers, etc.

I believe.. some certain States in the US already have the Deluxes.

Both Voyagers and Deluxes are out in Canada.

Yeah, I'm debating if I should just pre-order off HTS so I may have to wait but am guaranteed to get what I want. Now though, I heard they take forever to ship out, is that true from HTS?

I don't know about them taking forever to ship, once they have your product they're usually pretty diligent about shipping it to you, but they use First Class Mail so depending on where you are in the US it could take some time to reach you. The horror of HTS shipping is in the fact that they send the smallest package they can and essentially jam everything you ordered into it making some really sqaushed boxes if you have a large order. Also, even if you don't have a large order your Transformers boxes are likely to get damaged as they use very little to no packing materials to stop your items from moving around inside the box (accpet for them being slammed together). Personally, I won't order from them anymore, but that's just me.
