Transformers Prime Wave 4 Revision

Posted on 05-23-2012 at 04:41 PM by ORIO under Transformers Prime

Site sponsor Bigbadtoystore.com has listed a new case of Transformers Prime toys for preorder. This revision case of wave four, which will contain new figures Dead End and Airachnid, will contain two Vehicons per case. Good news for those struggling to find several, let alone one to add to their collections. Also to note, this is the first deluxe case assortment without a Bumblebee figure. The case breakdown is as follows:

1x Wheeljack
1x Autobot Ratchet
1x Knockout
2x Vehicon
1x Hotshot
1x Airrachnid
1x Deadend

Get your preorder locked in over at Bigbadtoystore.com and discuss this revision case on the 2005 Boards!

Oh fuck yes

StayingInTheBox

Thank God.

Hasbro listened, or at least figured it out.
Too cool.

Wait- NO BUMBLEBEE! Wow, has there been a documented case of this in the last few years?

Boy Blunder

Just in time for me to also actually give a crap about owning a Wheeljack!

Autobot Burnout

Holy shit, 2X Vehicon and no Bumblebee? Or no rediculous amounts of any character whatsoever?

This is possibly the best Prime Deluxe wave yet. If I had the money, I'd totally just buy this straight up and give the extra WJ and Knock-Out to a buddy of mine.

Looks they did actually hear all the Vehicon whining. I wonder how the people who bought them on eBay for $40-$50 are feeling right now. I might actually buy a case now, I was going to pass on it.

Galvanitro

This is like the perfect deluxe wave for people wanting to get into Prime and want more than one vehicon.

Smasher

I won't feel bad about picking up more than one Vehicon now.

shockwave2005

Awesome. I just got done selling off the majority of my TFP figures

The Bucket Kitten

Great news for those who don't have a Vehicon yet.

Autobot_Jacer

YES!!!!! This is perfect! so that's two waves in a row without Bumblebee, freaking amazing!

Thundershot

Now if only BBTS would sell an individual set of "Airachnid, Vehicon, and Dead End"

Deceptigtar

perfect, cancelled the first wave with airachnid and deadend for this one as there is no BB, and i can still get airachnid and deadend and 2 vehicons.

sweet.

I feel fucking great. Seeing that Vehicon on my shelf is quite heartwarming, since wave 3 hasn't appeared in my area yet. Now it should be easier to get the other two I planned on getting.

transformerwars

Two Vehicons, and not a single Bumblebee.

Our prayers have been answered.

i was feeling bad that i passed on the 3 set of KO, hot shot and vehicon.....not anymore....ORDERED!!!

I wonder how that will affect the BBTS/TFSource preorders that included the stealth Bumblebee?

Probably negatively. I'll likely cancel mine.

Yeah. I figure TF Source will let me know on mine.

Sumner Sturgeon

Splendid! I was hoping for a way to get a second Vehicon at retail. The lack of Bees is always a plus too. This is how waves should be structured-- equal chances for all the unique characters, and a little extra for the army-builder.

ex dtw2003

I don't think you can even pre-order it anymore.

This will prolly make "greybee" the most expensive of all the Prime line. How's that for irony, lol.

Edit: N/M, the OG case assortment is still up for preorder.

evergamer

Man I hope WY see's this wave soon. I really need to grab a couple Vehicons. Probably the only figures I've ever wanted more than one of.

Launch date is July.

Wave 3 hasn't even fully hit around the country.

Maybe going 1 or 2 waves without Bee will thin out the retail population a little bit too.

StayingInTheBox

Is anybody gonna preorder the case from BBTS?

Batman

Yay more Vehicons!!!

SnypPrime

YES!!! Thank you Hasbro! At last, there is a chance to get Vehicons!!!

[crazytalk]At my local Wal-Mart there's about 12 CJ's, and only 1 Bee. Been that way for almost a month[/crazytalk]

I've seen this a lot:

Walmart NOT overstocked on Bee, Target mad overstocked.

How does Hasbro work around this?

Arkitect76

the kicker will be if they cancel this revision assortment case...

There really haven't been that many Bees at my Wal-Marts or Targets either. It's usually pretty evenly split between Bee/Cliff/Jack with an occasional Ratchet/Arcee. Just from what I hear on here a lot of places seem to be drowning in Bees. At least there should be a better variety when this wave hits store shelves.

2 Vehicons. Thanks Hasbro, you've answered our prayers.

Torque

2 Vehicons. No Bumblebee.

2 Vehicons. No Bumblebee.

2 Vehicons. No Bumblebee.

2 Vehicons. No Bumblebee.

2 Vehicons. No Bumblebee.

yay!

SPLIT LIP

2x Vehicon.

And the world breathes a sigh of relief.

Torque

The question becomes: how many Vehicons to get now, knowing that troop building wont screw over everyone as badly with 2 per case. I already have one incoming thanks to BBTS. Was thinking 3 of him, 3 of the Jets, though could now probably go up a few...

And hopefully dissuades some idiots from thinking it's financially beneficial for them to scour all local stores at opening.

yeah, that should totally help *sets alarm clock, wishing I'd thought of that sooner*

Optimist_Prime

Hmm... I wonder if HTS will get this new case assortment in. I was gonna order a wave 3 case here, but if they get this I may hold out for this.
