    Hello, this is your friendly neighborhood Cataclizm1 reporting that I sighted these at Walmart and Target here in Los Angeles. I believe they were previously reported at Toynk in Chicago, but they have not really hit nationwide mass release until today.

    No, I don't think Prem Bee is at mass retail yet.

    Don't forget you can still snag most of these from the Hasbro toy shop.

    I snagged Premium Jazz, Barricade, Stealth BB, Salvage, Premium Megs, and Desert Brawl all for $105.00 with the coupon code.

    Confirm one thing: Is Stealth 'Bee molded in black or painted in black onto a yellow car body?

    Looks like Black paint, but it's applied very nicely.

    Blargh! Reason I was asking is I have a yellow 'Bee already body-painted, waiting for further apps. I'd have bought this one if it was molded in black (preferabale). Otherwise, I technically have one. Just need to finish him up.

    Ah well. Thanks for the info. That's what I've been waiting for. :)

    Dang. Wish I knew about that before Premium Barricade went OOS. At least I got Prem Jazz and Stealth BB...

    Hopefully Premium BB shows up soon...

    I'll skip stealth bee. Sadly the only thing I'll be skipping in allspark power. But it's pretty hideous. I also find that bio to be stupid- he got a repaint so he won't be recognized from pictures online? while nightwatch prime essentially gets super sized mirage armor.

    Been waiting for salvage though. Dropkick was a great figure that deserved a second deco.
    Also- sparkplug & son towing.:) 

    Premium bee it is then. I hav'ent seen the jazz yet But I assume the plastic is more of a glossy silver.

    no just a new head. alot of people like it. I'm not tremendously into it, but I don't hate it. It is more tastefully presented on the premium though.

    I see you picked up Wave 7 25th GI Joes while you were there, too.
    Noice.
