A very nice follow up to our new Decepticon Rumble gallery and the new Prime Cyberverse figures being found at retail; we now have confirmation of the next wave of Prime deluxes at US retail. New figures Decepticon Rumble and Sergeant Kup have been found at a Wal-mart in Waverly, IA by 2005 Board member DecepticusPrime.

Gas up those vehicles and start driving to every Wal-Mart in your area starting... NOW! Click on the title bar to discuss or head over to our Feedback forum to get our members' thoughts on these new Transformers.

So Kup comes up as Ironhide on the receipt
Jetbolt
I think I'll still order those two. Fighting through the sea of yellow at Walmart and Target around here isn't worth it.
Maverick Hunter Christian
Wonder if the switch from Ironhide to Kup was one of those 11th hour things.
DecepticusPrime
Probably. Never take too much stock into how Walmart lists things though.

Yeah but that's how BBTS and TFSource are still listing it, too. It was likely originally solicited as Ironhide, but sometime before the Asia convention where Kup was first seen, it was changed. Also could explain why the head wasn't changed... No time.
Robogeek28
Hmmmm, I'm keeping my BBTS preorder for now but hope to find these guys before my PO hits.

I might have liked this series if I had seen one vehicon...

...

And I still haven't seen wave 3.
Haloid1177
Need me a Rumble.
BIGGUY007
GREAT!! I've YET to see a Vehicon & that PISSES me off!!!!
DecepticusPrime
Vehicon is in this wave. 1x but still better than none. I also forgot to mention these all came with a DVD of the episode Loose Cannons
timcourtois
Last I saw, vehicon is NOT in this wave. Can you confirm that he is? Also, what happened to the wave 4 case revision that was supposed to have two vehicons? Is that no longer happening?
Solrac333
The only thing good on that receipt and worth the price is that jerky. Now I want me some jerky.

Was thinking the same thing.
Dinodigger97
Sooooo.....why are there no pictures of Jerky and Dew? I didn't know about these dudes. Are they Autobots or Decepticons? Are they new molds or repaints? TELL ME MORE!!!!

dude, the one I did find - I found it at a Walgreens in part of town I'd NEVER thought to look.
shadow panther
what the heck cost .05 cents?
DecepticusPrime
I've got a vehicon but no tangible proof that he was bought on that transaction. The dark Knight dew is awesome and sadly that bag of jerky wasn't up to Jack links normal quality.

Presumably for his pop bottle?

Man if these come to NY soon I might have head back down again...

In Iowa we pay a deposit on soda containers. So you bring empty cans and bottles back and get a nickel per container. So a twelve pack is 60 cents deposit
AllBurnedOut
RAD! Haven't even seen nary a vehicon or Airassnid or anything here! Way to go! Yaaaaaay
wikkiddavis
So what's the case assortment? Let me guess 4 Bees 2 STealth bees 1 Rumble 1 Kup
DecepticusPrime
Nay. Rumble, Kip, vehicon, knockout, wheeljack, and soundwave I think.

Ah squat...yay this is post 1000 for me.
gawddammit
Great, Wave 5 is out and still no sign of wave 3 here...
Apoclatron5675
I found Knockout once and all I've seen since June is a wall of Yellow menaces
StarLurker
Huh. We barely have wave 1 here. There are 5 Bumblebees on the pegs and they've been there for 3 months.

But hey, according to google, it's only a 1 hr 32 min drive to Shell Rock. Hmm.
LadyStarscream
I am confused with the Kup/Ironhide switch. Are we getting Ironhide in the states?

He's AM exclusive as of now. We're not sure if he's coming to the states.

We have a seasick version! Ugh...
Soar
Yep. I also found them at my walmart tonight.

Hmm, I am thinking about ordering AM Ironhide from BBTS. They only have 18 left.
SKULLSKREAM
hope i find some new ones,i know all these damn walmart stores has them,but they will not but them out,all they think is..'well bumblebee is so kid friendly,lets order a thousand of those,& forget the rest'!!....now all the bees clouding the shelves is nerve pinching to me,i still havent seen the last wave of toys....do your job stockboys & girls put out the good shit, & quit wasting my time & gas to go all over town to spend a hell of a lot more money,when my walmart is walking distance..geeeesh!!
Jasper96
Wave 5 already...
In Holland we're still stuck with wave 1, after 5 months still no new characters... :S
lildevilchick
I'm not going to waste gas by driving around all over the place. I figure, when I find Rumble, I find him. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open though. ^__^
PurdueAV2003
I was excited to see my first Vehicon a couple weeks ago. Still haven't seen Airachnid anywhere. I'm guessing we'll see this wave here in SC sometime in late October.
Fort Max
Vehicon is back in wave six, you'll all still have a chance to get one/lots (delete as applicable).

If something shows up in waverly I can shoot you a pm

good news theyre out. Rumble looks great, and really the only thing bugging me about Kup from the reviews i've seen is the back kibble. That said, i dont know if i'll keep him as Kup in my collection, since i already have the Generations one.

I give it another week or so for these 2 to trickle out to the midwest, and then a little longer than a week for the east coast. That's all dependant on distribution, obviously, but i figured i'd attempt a jab at how soon some of us will see these.
Burnout
This is cool news but at 15.47 (plus tax making it damn near 17 bucks if nto over in some locales) I am passing. These prices are getting way too outta hand.

Obviously people can do what they want, but why would one even consider putting PRIME KUP in place of GENERATIONS KUP? He's intended to go with PRIME figures...
Transbot90210
Woohoo, America is now at Wave 5 and Canada still holds strong at Wave 1. lol Oh well we just got wave two Voyagers. lol

Dammit Canada, get these things in, my wallet needs a breather between waves so don't release em all at once. AND DON'T SKIP ANYTHING!!!

To America, enjoy your new plastic crack.
megatroptimus
And we're still at wave 1 in Canada. Absurd.

Welcome to Canada's world. We have been 16.99 (plus high tax) for a few years, despite the CDN $ being par or worth more than the US $.

One thing though is our TRUs seem to have sales like 25% off more often than US TRUs do.
Optimus1138
I really hope we get an Ironhide repaint of Kup sometime. It looks like a decent mold, and it would be an excellent replacement for the very subpar Universe Ironhide that I have in my collection right now.
starscream2525
And I haven't even seen hot shot yet.
AutoBobby
With the higher prices and the piss-poor distribution,I've pretty much lost all interest in this line.
UltimusPrime
Ebay and BBTS are my friends. Tired of store hunting and bad Distro. Glad some people may be able to find these at retail.
Autobot_Jacer
I found these awesome guys last night
