If you've been keeping up with our Predacons Rising news, you'll notice that the Legion-sized two-pack Night Shadow Bumblebee versus Blight hasn't been spotted in Target yet. No longer! Seibertron himself stopped by his Target in Rosemont, Illinois, and found this elusive set while getting some Christmas shopping done.

Is this Blight's weapon the same colour as Hun-Gurr's?

I got this set from Target months ago. 'Course, I've only ever seen 2 sets, and I bought one of them.

Hope more people are able to find it, red Blight is awesome.

Yep. It's identical in color and form to the regular retail Blight, in fact.

I should probably stop assuming that just because I'm in New Jersey that doesn't mean everybody else saw them, then.

That's why we have this sticky

I'd say, whenever you sight something new in your area, look through the forum, if there's no thread dedicated, make one! Only makes sense, no?
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Hope it shows up here soon--I've been looking for weeks. Distribution of this particular item seems unusually spotty for some reason.

Wave 2 of any of the "Preds Rising" stuff seems rare, though yeah this one is especially hard to find. Evidently not many people want Cindersaur and G1-ish Smokescreen...

Weapon: Battle Blades
I heard an interesting theory on why these have been so elusive. It may have even been in a thread here. It could also be total bull, but who cares, it's fun.

Story goes like this. This was supposed to be in Wave 1 of the PR releases, which would make sense because then you'd have a Bumblebee in each wave rather than 0 in wave 1 and two in wave 2. The factories screwed up and put nothing but Cindersaur/Smokescreen in the Wave 1 cases. I feel like there's a picture floating out there somewhere of a wave 1 cases labeled to be containing these guys, which would prove that part.

Here's the part that can't really be proven, me thinks:

So Wave 2 gets packed up and shipped to Target distribution, with, you guessed it, yet more Cindersaur and Smokescreen. So when Cinder and Smokes sold out, places just got more of them and more of them. Due to their clogging shelves preventing more ordering by stores, and the time to get the other corrected wave 1 cases over on a boat and into Target's distribution channels, they only started to pop up about 6 weeks ago in various places.

It's actually a given that initially Predacons Rising pretty much shipped in solid cases (with only a single figure or set). The second half has been out for a while now in Deluxe and Voyager Classes, but Legion and Commander seem to be lagging behind a bit. Have we even confirmed that Shockwave vs. Bombshock is out?

Would make sense the Voyagers and Deluxes are moving, as Darksteel and Sky Lynx were in the show/movie, unlike the rest of the PR stuff.

Haven't seen the BombShockWave set yet, though I haven't been to Target in a while.

Shockwave vs. Bombshock have hit saturation here. I've had my set since early October. They're basically the only Wave 2 PR thing that's been easy to find :BANG_HEAD:
