Seibertron.com user Bounti76 has just let us know he found the latest Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commanders, Huffer and the green Optimus Prime, in a Walmart in Centerville, UT. Please keep on sending us sightings, or add them to the Sightings Section! Good luck finding those figures you're missing.

Does Prime's bio happen to mention WHY he's green perchance?

It amazes me that I've still yet to eve see Shockwave in cyberverse yet these guys are already appearing retail.

Screw that - buy him on HasbroToyShop.com.

I don't support the idea that "hunting" involves looking for a toy to purchase at FULL RETAIL. If you guys agree to that, you're just supporting the horrible distribution process Hasbro has developed over its MANY years of business.

When I go into a TJ Maxx, then I understand I'm "hunting" for a toy - it's about finding an almost unreal deal! But paying full retail AND driving around like an idiot, wasting gas on dozens of poorly stocked stops?

I picked up Shockwave months ago and still spot him from time to time a various retail outlets. If you cannot find him, get him on Amazon. He is currently in stock for $11 shipped free with Prime or with $25 worth of stuff. Its two bucks more than retail, but tax free for most so its worth the buck and change in gas alone.

Nuff said!

hasbros no better, they're out of stock most of the time plus they charge top dollar for shipping & very rarely have any kind of sales. And they are always the lasts ones to reflect a price drop. And lets not forget that the product can get damaged on the way to you or might already be damaged when its packed. At least when your in the store you see right then & there what your getting. plus if your smart you wont go out just looking for a figure youll stop by a store thats on your way to somewhere. If you go out hunting just to hunt then you deserve to waste gas, time & money cause your an idiot & need to reevaluate your life. If you pay $8 shipping on a $7 figure then you too need a kick in the ass. And if you deal with scalpers you should be bound & quartered.

It does actually. It says something to the effect of he bursts out of his deep cover in the jungle to take on Predaking.

Dang dude, that's way harsh. I happened to be shopping there and saw these, but just because other people have different methods of getting their Transformers there's no need to be so rude and condescending about it. It's one thing if you said "It's my opinion that it's a waste of gas to go out hunting just to hunt." But instead you call people names and act like a child. I suppose I shouldn't expect one to act like an adult when you can't even use proper grammar or ANY punctuation.

I saw both at my local Walmart. Huffer is too big and spiky to be a substitute for my Classics display or to be used with my eventual Metroplex display (so far I have a lot of Classics Legends, the Prime Terrorcons, and all for current Legends 2-packs to go with him, now Amazon just needs to ship the big guy!). Green Prime really does nothing for me.

What I really want to see at retail is the new Megatron. All of my Targets and Walmarts are totally out of Generations deluxes, but only one has ever had the new ones, and it was just the BB I am waiting for the repaint of.

You're doing it wrong.

1) Grab a few TF's at a time from HTS, to get the $50 free ship.
2) Use your coupon code.

Which coupon code? Oh, only the one they toss in (the shipping box) with virtually every order: 15% off. Do your math, and a deluxe comes out to around $13 (same as retail... or it used to be - Target just raised deluxes back up to $15.39!!!!).

Plus, if you "stop by on your way somewhere", you're still wasting time (especially when you don't find the right figure you want). Maybe you conserve some gas that way, but to me, a trip with no result is still a wasted trip. And like my wife tells me, "what's the point of shopping locally if you only get a choice of 1 when you get there?" I.e. you may find your Deluxe Megatron, but there will only be one, and odds are that he's damaged or defective, too - you just don't know.

But seriously, try shopping at HTS.com again, and realize there are very few people who would suggest you buy a $15 figure online and pay $7 in shipping. Seriously. Why would you even assume I meant that?
