    I found this listing on Mercari for Core Class Soundwave and the picture is very clearly taken on a Target store shelf.

    As such it appears Core Class wave 3 has reached retail in Illinois!

    Damn $31 for a $9.99 figure. This year through my weekly visit to Walmart i saw dozens and dozens of code Optimus prime, Megatron, Starscream, Rattrap, and Vertebreak.

    Wow, they were in such a hurry to make that measly profit they couldn't even wait until they were in their car to take pictures.

    Photos of animals in their natural habitat are sometimes more interesting than those of the same beast in a domesticated setting.

    They only do it because people pay for it.

    To you, but it's something I have been excited for since it was first revealed.

    Now we just need a Shockwave and the inevitable Seeker repaints and all will be good.

    Yes! Plz! I’ll keep buying them up if they stick with current levels of sculpting, articulation and paint apps.

    Produce multiple Seeker gift sets (three figures a set) Hasbro, I dare you!

    Pretty savvy and/or slimy to take the picture with the Voyager price tag.

    Oh... Cool, need to find him (he is somewhere in my appartment) also the Generations Thunderwing (from 2011 or 2012 maybe) is a pretty cool fit with these core guys I think, also the Black Shadow repaint. Oh and also the Power of the Primes Dinobots (maybe sans Grimlock unfortunatly).

    Almost, but the style is way different.
    But yeah, I keep the Takara version with my Core bots until a new one is made.

    I, for one, am looking forward to owning a radioactive dinosaur skeleton.

    With how quickly the new Kingdom stuff is popping up around the US, who wants to bet that somebody will find the wave 3 Deluxes by next week?

    Honestly me as well. I kind of wish they had a bit more articulation (explicitly in the ankles), but they’re a damn good value and honestly look really good to boot.

    Now if only I could find these… The Walmart in Renton was absolute crap for selection, and I was up there to hit Uwajimaya…

    I wouldn’t call a core class figure of a popular character a “nothing burger”

    Oh hey, I was just at Uwajimaya the other day to pick up some sweet, sweet on-sale Sapporo.

    Anyway, went by my Target today and nothing yet. I'd sure like to get a Soundwave but I only ever found a Starscream and had to order a Megs off like, Amazon.

    Good news: Found a Core Class Soundwave today! He’s a delight to transform and pose.

    Bad News: Somehow I picked the one with two left arms. :-/ Does anyone know if Hasbro offers CS with issues like these or do I need to hope Target will let me exchange him?
