For everyone's information, site sponsor BigBadToySTore has listed pre-orders for the first 3 Fall of Cybertron figures Optimus Prime, Shockwave, and Jazz. They have listed the arrival date as May 2012, so hopefully we will see them in stores soon!!!!!

Damn, beat me to it! Also, Shockwave looks sweet!

Here is the link, and there's one less available as I preordered it.

Thanks for adding the link. I'm at work right now and our computers are awful, plus I actually have to look like I'm working. LOL

Thanks for the heads up! But... I'm torn. Lol. I generally don't pre-order figures that *should* be sold locally, but Hasbro distribution has been crummy as of late :/ Still haven't seen all the PRID figures that are supposedly out and it took several months to find Kup, Wheeljack and Scourge after they were released.

bleh.

Made the pre-order. I'll have to mull over keeping it.

Generations are $14 at Target, if my memory serves me right, so BBTS isn't that much high (unless these toys are facing a price reduction... anyone have any idea's what they're supposed to cost?). Only thing is shipping cost, but driving around costs money too.

FUUUU! And I was supposed to be saving for KMC Cyclops. Oh well, will not preorder, hopefully there's a good number of shockwaves in a case, Prime looks rather derpy... Jazz does not look all the great, after his RTS one came out, would probably get all 3 still... Or wait for a united version... hmm...

Oh well, back to saving for KMC Cyclops. Steampunk wins over everything.

Thanks to our own AutobotMR2 we now know that site sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted preorders for the upcoming first wave of Generations FOC Deluxes. This wave includes Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave. The most important part of this news is the estimated May release date! Looks like we won't have to wait too much longer for our FOC figure fix!

Update: Transformers Prime RID Deluxe Wave 4 featuring Airrachnid, Bumblebee V2, and Dead End has also been listed for preorder:

(NOTE: These last two options are the only ways to get Shockwave, currently.)

Jazz and Shockwave are must-buys for me. I'll pass on OP as I prefer the WFC version, which I already have.

I'm surprised by the case assortment, though. 3 OPs, 3 Jazzes, and 2 Shockwaves? That's too even and makes too much sense. It should be 5 Bumblebees, and 1 of each of the others.

Not a problem. And yeah, distribution around here has sucked, so got them. *Sigh*

[AutobotMR2]

WOOT! Front paged! I honestly figured I would be repeating information with this since the staff is always really quick with this stuff. As for the toys, they look great, if I can sell off my DOTM Shockwave I will be getting this version! I can't stand duplicates in my collection.

maybe this will cheer you up then: they also listed the next wave of Prime deluxes, but just like they did with vehicon in the previous wave, you can only get airachnid if you get the full set of 3, the others are repaints of bumblebee and wheeljack
razzafrazzamgnen. why oh why did they have to do it this way? i only want airachnid, i don't need repaints.
