Transformers Prime Wave 3 Deluxe Found at Retail

I've been looking for these guys ever since sellers from America have them on eBay and nothing

So after hunting 8 different stores for any new stuff, finding none, and deciding to cut back on my searching until a sighting, I come home to this. Wonderful. Oh well, I still can't wait to get my hands on these guys!

Vehicon is priority 1 since he's 1 to a case

this line is pumping out releases so slow. where is deluxe ratchet? voyager bulkhead? voyager starscream? deluxe vehicon.

I have a couple deluxe ratchets for sale or trade and SS and bulkheade should be in stores soon

I am so impressed.
First we don't see any FE figures in Australia, at all.
Now it seems we've completely skipped Wave 2.

despite Knock-Off's funky (=terrible) paint-job, I kinda want him for robot mode, as a proto-Terrorsaur, Vehicon is a must simply so I can see for myself how that car becomes that robot, and Hot Shot has been my most wanted since he was announced (at least till Airachnid comes out) so looks like I am hunting all of wave 3. Hurry, pay-day, hurry!

You thinks that's bad hasbro is an American company and didn't even give its own country any FE well actually we got 3 deluxe but that's it

right...so getting 3 figures out of a line is worse than getting none at all?

Like I said I have an arcee and ratchet for sale $15 each but I don't know how much shipping would be to australia if you were interested

about damn time!!!!!! Knockout and vehicon are main priority!!!!!

NEED vehicon, Breakdown is a "see how I feel when it's in hand".

All I saw in my TRU was 20+ Bumblebee's and 4 Cliffjumpers... >_<

What wave is Arcee in?

Ratchet and Arcee are out in waves 2 (3x Bumblebee, 1x Arcee, Ratchet, Soundwave, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack) and 3 (2x Hot Shot, Knock Out, 1x Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, Vehicon). Wave 2 has been out for about a month now, Wave 3 is, according to this thread, starting to hit shelves. Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream are in Voyager wave 2 (2x Optimus, 1x Bulk and Screamer) which should be dropping soon, because we've gotten international sightings of them.

I've heard some places saying that Wave 3 includes Arcee and Ratchet too. At least in Hong Kong... Hopefully there's ratchet too, I can't find the US one here... All i get is Arcee!

gavinfuzzy, it does. See my last post right above you for the case breakdown.

One of these days, I'm bound to be in the toy aisle the one hour a week where it's nothing but bumblebee's warming the pegs.

Wow, we still don't even have wave 2 here.

Man- I haven't even SEEN wave 2 let alone wave 3 starting already. Here in Southern Cal it's hit or miss, some stores are chock full of wave 1 stuff and others are completely empty. It's really strange- am I missing something? Am I just not going to the stores at the right time or what?

Like other members said, I still haven't found wave 2 in stores. I really want that RID Arcee . And I would like to have wave 3's Hot Shot.

What could be happening is that you DO have Wave 2, but Arcee and Ratchet, being 1 to a case with the other 6 slots taken up by the Wave 1 figs, are being picked off before you guys get there.

Oh. I've seen Ratchet in stores, but no Arcee.

Wave 2 consisted of these toys
1x Arcee
1x Ratchet
1X Soundwave
1x Wheeljack
1x Soundwvae
3X Bumblebee

Wave three will have ratchet and Arcee.

Personally I dislike RID Arcee. She is scale but her FE and NYC versions are larger and sturdier than this plastic nightmare of RID Hasbro calls a toyline.

every were i go i see only bumble bees packed tight on the pegs
so why so many bumblebees and not enough people to buy them
and the stores wont restock until the bumblebees are gone
seems stupid

That second one supposed to be Cliffjumper?

It's always worth your time to ask a sales associate to look in the back, even though that's still hit or miss. I went to a Target yesterday and asked an associate to check in the back and they had 1 Arcee. I hope you can find one soon.

I was lucky enough to have gotten a deluxe Ratchet at a Toys R Us yesterday, the only wave 2 figure I have seen yet.My local Walmart has only stocked the Prime line once, last Friday they just restocked DOTM shelfwarmers and nothing else. The only characters they have for sale are Prime BB, 4 different Optimus, the orange Roadbuster, and 1 Lazerbeak

I had to hunt like crazy to find the Wave 2 figures. The first one I found was a Wheeljack (the only one in the store) at a Target, then found Arcee and Soundwave (Again, the only copies of the figures on the shelves) at a Toys R Us, and finally found Ratchet (Yet again, the ONLY one) after going to 3 more Target stores.

I must have seen over 300 Bumblebee and 100 Cliffjumper figures in that time.

I feel your pain, Gearslide. After my initial sighting of Wheeljack at a Toys R Us, I didn't see nearly as many of them anywhere as I did Bees and Cliffs. Soundwave was near-impossible to find for a while, although he's started to spring up more now. I got way lucky finding Arcee and Ratchet at a random Target before TRU. There's still only ever 1 or 2 of them compared to armies of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper on the shelves. I'm kind of surprised Wheeljack is a hot commodity, but I guess that's what happens when you're a non-Bumblebee character who was in the show for more than 5 minutes.

How I'v felt during every hunt since the movies began:

Those 3 were in such limited release it was effectively getting none at all.

Man, I hope they get these in soon, so tired of seeing all these Bumblebees, Cliffjumpers, and Wheeljacks.

Sweet bring on wave 3.
