Does anyone know the street date for Headmaster Leo Prime?

For the US? None, he's exclusive to Japan. His street date there is Feb. 17th.

Meanwhile, I have yet to see wave 3 deluxes, voyagers, and leaders, let alone wave 2 leaders. Boo

Ok...Willie J says Wave 2.....Orbital says Wave 4..so which wave is it:???:

Any idea when the Wave 3 Voyagers will be out on BBTS? I need my Prime and Megs.

Its wave 4 overall for TR, but the 2nd wave of 2017...if that helps...

I just gave up on finding leader Soundwave in the wild and got one on Amazon Prime for just under $40, after shipping/tax. I figure that way I can wait a while and try to get Sixshot and Sky Shadow *hopefully* in a spring sale of some sort.

Krok and Percy are definitely tempting, I'm not sure if I should order them now or wait a month or three to see if they appear in stores, because wave 3 appeared at my local Entertainer store about three weeks after I bought a Deluxe Hot Rod from Ebay.

I said 2017 Wave 2. They are the same. I got my info from Robot Kingdom:

Which would you buy on the spot if you saw them?

They have been delayed, sorry.

That is what I wanted to know, thanks!

Am confused. From comments I been reading here have those of us in the UK been getting certain Titans before areas of the US? I got both Hot Rod and Megatron weeks before christmas from Toys R Us in Cambridge. Will let you know if I see any of these new ones if I pop into Cambridge again within next few weeks. I might get Topspin for myself. And maaaybe Kup just to have the HR/Blurr/Kup set (nearly typed threesome...)

You know what screw hasbro, i never saw wave 2 and if these are out that means ill never see wave 3 either. Im getting so sick and tired of this crappy distribution, and what makes it worse is habro just throws these waves out the door so fast theres no time to even try and get the other stuff out. If i go to the store and all there is is wave 4 then im officially done with hasbro, ill be taking my money elsewhere.

So we can expect to see these at US retail in like 3 months, unless they just decide to skip this wave since they've still got Wave 1 and 2 inventory gathering dust, meaning the only way to get these at U.S. retail will be to wait until they end up at Ross or TJ Maxx in like 6 months.

I'd have no problem with that

We dont know. Its the same with leaders too (sixshot). hasbro currently doesnt have any in stock and they are all on back order. I am myself waiting for hasbro to have more leaders to send out to stores so that they can finally replace my messed up Leader PMOP.

Aye...i get where your coming from....but surely Soundwave, Blaster, Blurr, Scourge, Hardhead, Skullsmasher, Chromedome, Wheelie, Stripes ect are wave 1, Sixshot, Octanemus Prime, Alpha Trion, Megablitzwingtron, Skytread, Apeface, Clobber, Brawn ect are wave 2, Hot Rod, Twinferno, Triggerhappy, Breakaway ect are wave 3 & Sky Shadow, Broadside, Perceptor ect are wave 4

You may want to look that over, for instance Sixshot is wave 3, not 2.

Yes, but some sources restart the wave count at the end of the year. And Sixshot is indeed Wave 3: Soundwave is the Leader Class for Wave 2.

All he means is that it's the second wave released during 2017. It is admittedly a bit confusing though, I wish they'd just stick to saying Wave 4...

Well whatever! Carnivius Prime is right, coz here in the UK we're getting mixed waves

Not quite: another mechanic used is called Wave Revisions, in which the case contents is changed by switching figures out. The latest one I know of is for Wave 2, in which the new Decepticons Wolfwire and Mindwipe have been switched out for Wave 1 figures.

I think everyone should just calm down and not freak out so much. We're in the after christmas lull where it takes until the middle of February before the stores all reset. This happened last year with the Combaticon wave. Saw them before Christmas and then didn't see them again until just a year ago. (TimeHop told me I got Swindle a year ago Tuesday ) You're not going to miss out on Wave 3. It's not like you'll see wave 4 in stores tomorrow. Just be patient and give it some time.

I agree, the wave count shouldn't be reset just coz it's a new year!

What wave is astrotrain and alpha trion in? My walmart has about 6 if each.
And a lot of deluxes filling the pegs and the very top shelf.
