    I found the assortment this morning at my local TRU. They were $4.99 each and "collection 1", as they have on the back of the package include (per case)

    2 x Optimus Prime
    2 x Autobot Ratchet
    1 x Autobot Drift
    1 x Lockdown

    I will post pictures when I get home.

    So the second wave with Galvatron and Dreadwind and company are just being skipped then, more or less?

    I hope this means the new AoE Microchanger blind-bag boxes start showing up at my TRUs soon. They have the new AoE build sets and combiner kreons but no sign of the new blind-bagged figures yet.

    I'm pretty sure these were a part of the mass of street dated stuff released last Saturday. Anyone able to confirm / deny / break into a song from Frozen?

    Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaann...

    I can at least confirm that some of the new Transformers stuff we're seeing today weren't on the shelves on the 17th. The 30th Anniversary Mini Figures, for example, weren't there with the other AOE stuff last Saturday, but they are on the shelves today. I can't say though if the had the same street date as the other stuff and weren't just restocked immediately, or if the stores just got these today with the delivery truck.

    Hard to say, since AOE Kre-O is strictly a TRU exclusive now, right? I do not remember anyone posting they had found those on street date.

    I know the kreo combiners were, but at least in my area these newer finds were actually received in today's shipment and not sitting in the back.

    Sigh. Not ONE of the TRU's in my area has had wave 4 of the Microchangers. I was lucky enough to find them at a Walgreens when they were still burning out their stock. All of the TRU's in my area still have wave 3 on the shelves, so the chances of getting wave 5 is pretty slim. *sigh*

    The custom Kreons aren't blind bagged so you don't need codes for them.

    I think they were supposed to be, but none of the TRU in my area had them (only the 4 Micro-Combiners, Grimlock set & Lockdown set). Also as of today at least one of the Customs (Drift) and the Blind-bags are on TRU online. I know the chances of getting 12 of 12 are long, but I ordered 12 just to see how many I get. I'll pick up the rest when they hit a TRU near me.

    I am worried about this. I have also not seen blind bag wave 4 anywhere. I know it's out there, but I'm worried I'll never see it.
