Ditto. I only once bought a dupe figure and it was because I wanted a Kup with Hasbro's head and another with the iGear head. Maybe if I ever act on the thought of making a stop motion I'll build an army, until then I'll stick to single figures.

This. I usually only buy one of a figure too except for when a figure breaks beyond repair. I'll only get 2 car Vehicons and 2 jet Vehicons. If some one is so selfish that they will buy 5+ Vehicons then they better be buying to sell to others. End mini rant.

I'd like to get 2 Vehicons myself, but I'll settle for 1 if that's all I can find. I usually only get 1 figure of each mold, but because there are so few Prime Decepticons toys out and there are so many Vehicons on the show I can justify getting a second one. Hasbro really should have foreseen the demand for this figure and put 3 or 4 in each case.

I should reiterate that so far this is only the UK listing. I doesn't look like we are going to get the wave 2 cases, but go straight to wave 3.

The US seemed to get Wave 1 & 2 nearly simultaneously so I wouldn't be surprised if that wave 4 case was Euro only, see how the Wave 1 figs carry into that case, but don't show in the Wave 3 one?

Just a thought...

I thought everyone knew that Hasbro don't dare deliver to the Death Egg Zone.

I already found Ratchet; is he Wave 2 or 3?

Ratchet is in both waves.

Buy the Takara Vehicon then, they don't come in waves, the whole carton is the same figure.

Makes me wonder if the majority of wave 3 is just sitting in the back of stores as CJ and Bee deluxes are still on the pegs. When I went to the Targets in my area for the initial waves, I had to ask for the figs to be pulled from the back (if the associate was willing).

Anyone have any DCPI numbers or anything like that?

DPCI numbers really only cover the size class. It can tell you how many they have on hand on the pegs/shelves and in back, but it doesn't specify what wave or what figure they have in stock. That's a hands on/eyesight kinda deal.

To be honest, if you used the number and they said they had some in back, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a wave 1 or 2 case. I don't think 3's in the US, yet.

BBTS has yet to get their's. Pre-orders on eBay say that Hasbro told them the end of April for a ship date. Looking more like an arrival in May. It takes about 2-3 weeks to get here in the US after being seen in Asia. It's been maybe a little over 2 weeks now. I'd say next week is more likely. However, the west coast will receive their shipments first. It'll take at least another month for it to hit national saturation, if enough cases were ordered.

Thanks for the info and the heads up, Autobot032! Much appreciated. I guess I'm just so impatient at this point to get a Knock Out and a Vehicon.

No problem. I'm in the same boat.

Might not see them for awhile unless the "yellow scourge" magically dissapears...

That's what I thought, too. But, my Wal-Mart just stocked wave 3 yesterday. Grabbed the Vehicon. Never thought I'd actually buy the figure, but I did.

I just call it "Bumblebee Infestation". And in the Netherlands we suffer from it as well, either Prime Bumblebee or even RtS Gold Bumblebee!
