and thats exactly what i was wondering. I didnt think these were going to be available for another couple months, however the walmart near me has multiple cases with this #ready to go on the shelves. I should have made them crack them open so i knew for sure.

Can't be that case assortment lineup then. Prime and Megatron, perhaps. However, the repaints are a Target exclusive (as we've seen in numerous pictures) so Ratchet and Starscream wouldn't be in that case, except in their normal colorings.

Although, I'm not sure that's the Prime/Megatron wave...they should be wave 3...

Wave 1:
Blackout
Ratchet

Wave 2:
Ironhide
Starscream

Wave 3:
Megatron
Optimus Prime

And I'm sure about wave 1 and 2 because on the night of June 2nd, I (and a fellow fan/collector) helped the Wal-Mart associate stock the shelves and pegs because he was in over his head and people were swarming him for the toys. We clearly saw only Blackout, Ironhide, Ratchet & Starscream.
Both cases said WV 1 and WV 2.

According to Entertainment Earth, Megs and Prime are part of Voyager WV 3. http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi ... r=HT81060C

EDIT: Now that I've checked, I was partially incorrect.
WV2, R2 is Ironhide, Megatron, Ratchet and Starscream.

Good luck getting the associate to open the case for you though. If there's no room on the shelf for the figures, they can't and won't open the case for a single figure. It's well known and they will flat out deny you. (They're adamant about that.)

Interestingly enough they had no issue cracking the cases as the tf section was completely bare(thats y they had them out in the first place) However, there was no megatron only wave1 and wave2 figures.

on a side not (and i could be wrong here) but i dont believe rescue ratchet and tc are store exclusives. g1 starscream is, but as far as i know he is the only voyager sized exclusive repaint planned...again i could be mistaken.

All G1 repaints are Target exclusives ( i work at target). There are 2 case packs that we have at target. One has all characters in it (starscream,blackout,rachet,ironhide) the other has only 2 characters in it. Usually blackout and ironhide. And as for voyager optimus, i thouht that was a Target exlusive as well. Thats whatit says on the box.

Robovision Optimus (Voyager Class) is a Target exclusive. The original, mainline Voyager Optimus is not an exclusive and will be available everywhere these fine products are sold.

...wow, that last line sounded terribly cheesy. And it just came out without thinking.
