    Unfortunately Hasbro packed only 4 deluxes and 2 Voyagers in Wave 1 (with 3 Bumblebees and 3 Primes per case!), so we see a large number of Bumblebees that just sit. Replacement waves still have Bumblebees, so we get more Bumblebees on top of already present Bumblebees.

    Stores have new stocked dispatched based on inventory levels, however all Deluxe TFS are one code, not individual codes for individual characters. Therefore a store may have 2 or 3 particular characters in enough quantity to require a new shipment.

    Still wishing case breakdowns were more like they were back in the days of Animated.
    The case allocation system causes problems with ordering from overseas too - most TF webstores will charge a premium for short-packed characters (FOC Shockwave is a good recent example), or not even give you the choice and make you purchase the whole case. Yeah, because I need 2 shit-brick FOC Optimus Primes like I need a hole in the head.

    Hasbro will eventually learn that they reached Bumblebee saturation-point a loooong time ago. It's a crap system that will surely change in the near future since the current system just isn't working. Surely.

    For those who are still hunting prime deluxe ratchet and arcee, i spotted a deluxe ratchet today at target marketplace at Leichhardt. I also spotted Arcee at kmart broadway last week. Not sure anyone picket that one. So just in case anyone can't find ratchet, maybe try target at Leichhardt. They close at 7pm.

    Remember the good ol' days when the '07 Movie came out and you couldn't find a Concept Camero Bumblebee anywhere..? Well, apparently the retailers and Hasbro still do.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    I can safely say that it is gone now coz I was there around 11pm and all that's left are the wave 1 figures. But for those looking for a cyberverse bulkhead there was at least 4 there. At least they're price is cheaper than myers

    By Christmas the stores here will be choked with this wave, if you can wait it will be worth it.
