Now if only we could have the mainline items at the proper adjusted prices.
Bot Shots 3-packs are now out in America, following on from the single packs about a week ago. Not huge enough news to be posted in the main news section... :p
Wave 2 Deluxes (Ratchet & Arcee V2) have been found at US retail, giving us the usual rush of the early waves of a new toyline to stores... and could see them here soon as well, whenever the other major retailers start stocking them.
The new TFPrime roleplay helmet/mask has been found at US retail for $20. It's a whole new electronic mask that appears to be a lot less bulky than the Movie Optimus Mask.
We are likely to see this here too... for about $40-50 though.
The second Prime 2-pack (Bee Vs Screamer) was out in Asia and here a few weeks ago, but has now been found in Canada as well (the other place it was supposed to be).
Wave 2 of TFPrime Legions have been found in Singapore.
The wave includes:
Prime Breakdown
DotM Soundwave (redeco of the earlier figure)
DotM Mirage
DotM Evac
Note that the three DotM toys don't say "Prime" on the packaging.
Don't see it released generally in stores; maybe grabbed by local fans or on reserve with special treatment by staff who knows fan. It is however said to be seen only at Metro and I saw (1x Mirage only) at TRU Paragon.
The Wave 2 of TFPrime Legions figures noted 2 posts above have now been sighted in America, along with Wave 2 BotShots single figures.
Plus, more of the single-packed Legion/Legends figures have been found in small-chain stores in America. Hasbro have been doing random Legion/Legends figures in these single packs for about 6 years now, in plain packaging (currently using Generations colours), as cheap toys for stores that don't stock a full range of toys. This latest set has the Reveal the Shield Optimus & Starscream, and Universe Gen2 Megatron and Bumblebee (in colours closer matching the TRU exclusive 4-pack).
These aren't likely to be released here, as previous single pack figures never were.
Wave 3 Deluxes (Knockout, Vehicon V2, Hotshot) have been found in America, just in time for BotCon... but I expect any dealer bringing ones they found would be charging a premium if they don't saturate stores there in the next 3 days (which won't happen).
