The latest assortment of Transformers Power Core Combiners Five-Packs have been released. This assortment, which contains Crankcase and the Destrons plus Stakeout and the Protectobots, recolors toys from the first wave of Power Core Combiners, but makes good use of the mix and match playability of the line to create some new and unique combinations. They were spotted at a Toys R Us in California by 2005 boards photo staff member Panzerjedi.

I saw the Protectobots in Melbourne, Australia last week. No Destrons though, which pisses me off as it's the only other combiner 5-pack I want (I got Bombshock but the others are too off-scale for me, at least Bombshock's drones are sort-of in scale with his main figure).

Sweet. I'm near that area and PCCs around here are still on wave 1.
What store did you spot them at?
HellSpawn
Also found these in the Netherlands, for crying out loud! Wave 1 hasn´t been released yet. We got all of wave 2, and now the recolors.

Picked these up in canada like a month ago.

These guys just hit the US? Just picked them up today in the Netherlands and they've been spotted here previously..

May have to resort to hasbrotoyshop for these. The 5 packs are clogging stuff up sufficiently from the local retailers even with their turkey shopping month sales.
I like the redecos. So its a all black set to homage takara's destrons and their subjective black repaints. While the other set homages the defensor combiner team. plain and simple. Maybe the aerialbot limbs will work better with the mix and match. I have yet to find a way to connect aerialbot limbs that works for me, other than the radar plane. It masters the concept.
Finally five packs will have the value of some solid commanders. Mudslinger was close, but he is a little thin in commander form.

Sweet! Yay, another, 'I saw this ages ago but I didn't know it was new' thread. But I think I'll complete those two, they look really great!

I didn't know this was news. They've been at my TRU for a week now.

Saw those a week ago in Rochester, NY

This may be frst TF line I complete.
ORIO
Waiting for mine to be delivered from HTS. Apparently they're sitting in the warehouse in Penn and never got picked up
Dinobot Nuva
Got mine online a while ago, hope this means the Dinobots and Constructicons are right around the corner!

What the hell man? I tried posting a thread about this last week and got no response
GrandMaXimus
My local Walmart had these last month. I didn't even know these were first sightings.

This discussion seems to be mostly about the first news stuff rather than the toys themselves.
Getting back on topic, I was asked if the drones are repaints of what's already been released. The answer is yes. No new drones in either set.

Saw these yesterday as well in Seattle. Didn't know it was newsworthy either, though you would have beaten me to it. Looks like you posted while I was still in the store.

Same thing SSG. This isn't really news to us who saw this almost a week ago.
I've owned these (bought from TRU), almost a week ago. I didn't bother to post it as a news story.
Oh well…
TechNoMad
I thought these were supposed to have a mass release in September? does not matter though they probably wont get to my neck of the woods for at least another month.

1: loving loving loving these repaints!
2: we are one step closer to the dinobots and the constructicons!

I thought these had been sighted too already. Picked mine up Monday at TRU. What about PCC 2 packs wave 3? Those been reported yet?
