    Here we are getting news about AOE deluxe wave 3 is about to hit stores, but I still have yet to see lockdown. Some people said it was in a wave 2.5, but I'm looking at the packaging for lockdown online, and I'm seeing drift and swoop as the featured 'also available' figures. So is it safe to assume that since drift and swoop are both available, lockdown is out there somewhere? I definitely don't want to have to pay scalper prices for this figure on ebay (which by the way is already $50)

    That wave hasn't hit the US yet as far as I know. I'm still waiting for Hound and Galvatron to show up around here.

    Lockdown has been released here in Taiwan, too. I can't imagine it will be much longer til it hits North America.

    I'm not sure I'll even see it around here. Every place I go it seems the movie toys are just stagnant.

    What exactly is a .5 wave? Why not include it with another wave?

    Any wave with a.5 included is a revision wave. IE more or less of the same figures, or another single figure from a previous release is re-introduced without introducing new characters to said wave.
