I moved this to the toy section, reports like this need to be posted there in their respective state/country section.

I have noticed quite a few people posting them finding these figs recently.. I am one of them.

Hey my bad..im new to the whole posting in the forums..
I apologize for my stupidity lol

Seibertron.com member megatronis has reporting finding Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 2 at retail. This wave features four new molds Smokescreen, Bulkhead, Starscream, and Ripclaw. The figures were found at a Wal-Mart location.

Before this fills up with replies stating, "these have been out for a while", "I found these last week", etc allow me to say megatronis was the first Seibertron.com member to drop the New Crew a line regarding this. I don't patrol the individual state sightings forum so if others have been reporting these, my apologies, megatronis took the time to let us know. I'm also well aware that these have been reported on other fansites about a week ago, but I've been holding off on outsourcing our sightings news to other sites in hopes that I can credit Seibertron.com users. That is all.

Thanks for the credit el duque

No problem, thanks for reporting it. BTW, I tried to reply to your email twice, but each time it hit me with a delivery failure.

Same here, when I enter a store my mind goes "Ok, what do they have in stock in terms of Transformers and LEGO". But my walmart doesn't stock stuff. Neither does my TRU. My local Target does though. Picked up BH Voyager OP there.

My wife just knows to automatically go the the toy dept right off the bat and get it out of the way!

My feelings exactly...im kinda liking the idea of redesigned bots..cuz that means I get to buy the whole line again hahaha..some of my fav figs are from the movies...however I never did find leader class megs fromROTF..that empty spacr - on the shelf hurts every time I look at it lol

guess walmarts the place to go, picked up FoC Grimlock at one yesterday and 2 weeks ago found the beast hunter legends there as well. TRU & target are either empty or just have a few older figures floating around. Last new figures i saw at either one of those was FoC Soundwave & Soundblaster. Glad im not collecting as much as i use to other wise id be extremely pissed off.

It's ok, no need to slam yourself, you just did not know.

Stopped at my local Wal-Mart today after hearing about this. Sure enough, the second wave of Beast Hunters Deluxes are sitting right there on the pegs. Two Ripclaws, a Bulkhead, two Smokescreens, and a Starscream waiting for me. But instead of flinging them all off the shelf into my cart, I went with Smokescreen since I could care less about the other three.

So happy to have found them, though.

I snagged Smokescreen and Ripclaw. Beast Hunters Bulkhead and Starscream are both terrible embarrassments compared to any of their previous incarnations.

I'm kinda digging the new Predacons; but Beast Hunters seems to be a very uneven line with some real standouts (Shockwave) alongside a good deal of obvious chaff (the aforementioned along with most of the spiky remolds). By comparison, I think PRID was much more consistent. (Which is not to suggest that it is without its share of flaws; just that the levels of quality, originality, and engineering were fairly consistent.)

And it's looking increasingly like all those remolds and reiterations of PRID characters won't have their likenesses reflected onscreen. I suppose that's the sort of thing that happens when character models for the show are so expensive to produce. (And, yet, in light of that expense, I don't understand why we get Voyager versions of characters that never appear on the show (Thundertron, Ultra Magnus) instead of ones that do. Where's Voyager Hardshell, already? Or a version of Breakdown that could be sold in the US?)
