Transformers Prime Deluxe Wave 4 Released

If this is true then I have some serious calling to do.

You way want to go back and try to pick that Airachnid up though, gives us more proof and you'd be able to sell it quite easily on the BST section with how rare of a figure it is.

I'm just baffled that it's found in PA first, usually they never are first found anywhere outside California or Texas.

Also found the wave in Phoenix. Pic forthcoming.

Update: Found at the 79th and Peoria WalMart.

Nice, westside. Gonna have to start looking soon. Got a nice $50 Walmart giftcard from a charity auction to use on this wave.

HERE WE GO AGAIN! Southeast'll be seeing these guys end of July, maybe.

To be fair, we've never gotten Wave 3 at this Walmart.

Not once.

lol there here in new zealand as well

Yeah... this totally gives Canada grounds to complain about our wave 1 shelfwarmers being the newest mainline stock again haha.


Meanwhile...

*rolls around in fictionally large pile of FE toys that exist purely for the sake of this post's ridiculousness*

Interesting, jru42287 said something similar. Might be something to this - hope it's not a new (and annoying) trend in availability emerging.

Found in Albuquerque too

I look forward to seeing a new paint job on the hordes of Bumblebees clogging shelves.


-ZacWilliam, on the other hand we havn't gotten Wave 3 here ever so these may not even offer that backhanded plus...

Man if I find these at my Wal Mart when I get home, I'm going to be pissed I pre-ordered them from TFSource. No store in my area has seen wave 3 so I had to use alternate methods to get Knockout, Hot Shot, and Vehicon - figured it was the usual distribution shenanigans.

I'll know in about a week...

Sigh...I dont suppose anyone knows of any UK stores that stock anything other than wave 1 and ratchet and arcee? Is that all we're getting? It is kind of annoying having to import so much. Why are our waves so slow compared to the USA?

I don't know I'd call that slow in this case. I'm in the US, and that's all any store near here has ever had. From what I understand the majority of fans have had very little luck finding Wave 3 since stores are stuck full of W1 Bumblebee.


ZacWilliam, not doubting that the UK is usually behind but in this particular case distribution has been equally wanting overhere, I think...

Gives me hope for the Kmart I work at, we missed the Wave 3 toys, and we only have 3 Deluxes on the pegs right now, maybe wave 4 will be inbound.

Not to mention with the RC toys coming in, it's certainly possibly

This is getting me a little upset! Up in Ontario Canada I have still only seen wave 1! The local Toys R Us transformers display is a wall of Yellow and black! DOTM Bees, FE Prime Bees, and 1st edition Prime Bee! The Manager dose not know what to do. She said it's what ever head office sends. And Hasbro short packed every one except for Bee and cliffjumper! How many Bees Sid Hasbro think they were going to sell between the kids and the fans? I love the carecter but it's over kill.
I'm kicking my self for not picking them up when I was in Hong Kong last April. They were only $3 dollars more. I thought the would be coming shortly since I say BBTS listing them for us. When I get to TFCom I'm going to give the Hasbro an ear full. And show her the photos of the TRU wall that has not moved for months. I know it's not there fault but maby they will take it back to the office.

I'm sorry to all of you if this is a long rant. I had to get it off my chest.

I can confirm that the new wave has hit Huntsville AL at the Drake ave Walmart.

Well if you do bring it up at an appropriate panel (which I'm really hoping someone does), it'll probably go a lot better if you do it politely, and with a question that's rehearsed a little before hand. Like, I'm by no means an expert at this shit, but asking if there's anything they'd like to tell us about future waves or future assortment & saying that it'll be appreciated will go a lot farther than getting on the mic with a 10 minute rant about how Bumblebees are eating your store alive like Scraplets.

Errr, I guess that'd actually be kinda funny, but you know what I'm saying.

He speaks the truth. For those who haven't seen it already cybertron.ca has a picture thread documenting the wall of yellow pain.

I was able to find Knock Out the other day, but as yet still haven't seen Vehicon.

Ratchet is undersized but I like the figure, Arcee's colors, according to some aren't as nice as the FE version but I like the scale.

I think Vehicon isn't in this wave? I never saw him in this wave, its probably the wave after this i.e. the supposing wave revision with 2 Vehicons.

Gimme Dead End. I couldn't care less about anyone else.

Wow, my area still doesn't even have Wave 3 yet and now this is out :/

Hmm, just an idea here, but maybe the reason nobody's been seeing Vehicons is because these are the original wave 4 assortments, and not the revisions. Like, I don't know what kind of lead times get involved, but I'm guessing they're pretty damn long, and that stores (namely the early ones) are gonna be getting the cases as they were originally assorted for a while, rather than the ones with double Vehicon.

... hope I'm wrong about this, though.

I haven't seen a GLIMPSE of Wave 3 yet, and Wave 4 is "released". :/

Went there this morning with still nothing but 3 Wheeljacks on the pegs. At this rate, I'd kill for even Hot Shot and Shadow Bumblebee.

After going out yesterday and still seeing nothing but the yeoow and black plague on the pegs I can safely say that I don't hafta worry about finding wave four on the shelves anytime soon. Hopefully I'll come across Deadend before Christmas.

last night i picked up the airachnid after work

thanks JR for not taking it

EDIT: also boxes these come in arent labeled by wave either, their labeled Transformers Prime Deluxe and thats it

How much ya wanna bet that the pegs will be loaded with this version ob Bumblebee too.

Man I could swear that I seen this wave couple weeks ago in Ohio. I'll have to double check.

And we're still at wave 1 in Canada. Yay.

Prepare for a Sea of Yellow and Silver!

Not so fast my friend. Found Dead End and Shadow Bee this morning in Gainesville, Florida. Looks like there's no rhyme or reason with this wave.
I will gladly trade Dead End or Airachnid (when I find her) for an FE Cliffjumper.

There are stickers on the side that say Series 04

I also noticed that when I got my case.

umm, YAY?

Nerts, I'll buy Airachnid if I see her and knockout, but I want that Vehicon, isn't there supposed to be a case revision coming as well?

Don't worry. When I meet then I'll be polite. It gets you no were by negatively confronting a rep from a company about their products.
I'll be very tactful.

I would make a typical "BAAW CANADA ONLY HAS WAVE 1" post, but I honestly don't give two craps about this wave.

they skipped Knockout's wave in Fl (with the exception of the Knockout and Hotshot i found a couple days ago. one of each). actually, i don't even think Fl is going in order. it's just BBs, Ratchets, and Cliffjumpers down here and every once in a while, i find ONE other figure. so for deluxe class, anything but BB, Ratchet, and Cliff is rare though i don't think i'll be getting Airachnid or Dead End as Airachnid looks stupid and i already have plans for Dead End

My wife saw these last night and passed them up

I don't blame her.

I've seen the Knock Out wave at least 4 times at three different Walmarts in Florida and I know they've been spotted in Jax, Orlando and Tampa.

I only saw a Hotshot at a Walmart on Gandy. I have been to all the stores and that was the only store that got Wave 3.

i need to start shopping at walmart more

lol Canada is still waiting for Arcee and Ratchet..oh and Vehicon and Knockout and Bulkhead let alone Airachnid.

I guess this is pay back for getting the FE line.

I had found these yesterday and posted it on the NY Sightings board
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...ings-1066.html

We never saw wave 3 here in south de eather...

Meh.....was interested in Arachnid until they actually showed that cheap contraction so for now just wake me when Generations is on the horizon since the disappoint factor isn't so high.

Damnit! I was hoping to catch a small break, oh well time to hunt that Arachnid & Dead End down ever so furiously & vigorously.

Ditto.

I want Knockout and Vehicon, not a shitty Airachnid.

On the slick, wave 3 was extremely scarce in my area. Like 5-7 cases total theoughout 8 stores. Kinda sucky. I hope this wave isn't the same. Retailers should just ship waves 1 & 2 back to their warehouse so they can ship it back to Hasbro with a sticky note telling them to get their shit straight.
