When will wave 3 for TF:prime RID hit stores? has it already hit? i had a buch of money saved up for knockout and vehicon but ended up spending it on other TFs. the wait kills me. I should not have bought those Tfs

I heard a few people throw around June as the release month in another thread (I think it was the thread where some guy was showing off his pile of loot from Asia). I'd hate to wait that long for Knockout and Vehicon as well, but I suppose my wallet could use the down time.

my walmart had a little bit of wave 2 and i got almost all of it except one arcee. but since then i have not seen any more wave 2. but since then i have not seen anymore wave 2. so i guess it will be awhile before they are out.

yeah, the wait has send my money elsewhere too. Lol. Purchased Takara's Animated Starscream the other day and if there aren't figure I want out by the end of the month I'll probably get another Animated figure I missed out on.

I'm not so interested in PRID's KO but I wouldn't mind getting vehicon... and Breakdown when he comes out (if his toy is any good that is).

I heard June a while ago. That thread you mention contains me saying "I thought these were due in June" to which someone shows off that he's received all of Wave 3 from BBTS. Looks like shops should get them soon.

Hasbro UK recently said in an email that we should look out for Ratchet and Vehicon.

Hah. Wave 1 didn't even show up here.

bbts has deluxe wave 3 and voyager wave 2 listed for april. but they have been inaccurate in the past...

Depends on where you live, where you shop, and what the store manager or regional manager does. There's no "street date" like albums or movies. Some stores will have Wave 3 before other stores get Wave 2.

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

Arcee and Ratchet are Wave 2.

Arcee and Ratchet are Wave 2.

Both of which carry over and maintain their 1:8 case ratio into wave 3 if that helps anyone.

Please tell me there aren't going to be three Hot Shots to a case. =_=;

Just 2, with 2 Bumblebees and 2 Knockouts.

If I remember correctly there are two. Someone a while ago posted pictures of the case he bought. Can't remember the thread though or I'd link you to it ^^;;

Augh, I was hoping there would be no Bumblebee in this wave...

Prime Hauls thread, where that sneaky Brit bought a case. It had:

2x Hot Shot
2x Knockout
1x Vehicon
1x Bumblebee
1x Arcee
1x Ratchet

Yes, I was off by one

OH, well that's perfectly fine then! And it means I should have no trouble snagging Hot Shot. Vehicon on the other hand... >.>;

Troop building that vehicon will be a bitch, Kapow toys posted a listing on the 2005 boards for a UK (& Europe?) Wave 4 case and it wasn't in there

I'll see if I can find the post..

Found it!

For those interested this is UK TF Prime Wave 4

1) Cliffjumper - 1
2) Knockout - 1
3) Soundwave - 1
4) Arachnid - 1
5) Bumblebee - 2
6) Deadend - 2

nice to see the yellow guy in there again.................

The bad news is Vehicon does not appear again until Wave 8 and then its only 1 per case again, good news is Rumble crops up in Wave 6

Wait, Vehicon is Wave 3 only?!

Edited my above post with the breakdown, Kapow does specify that's the uk case, so the US one may be different...?

Vehicon is going to be more of a pain than I thought. Id like 3 maybe but I guess that may take a while. Especially if its in wave 3 then wave 8. A lot of stores stuck on bumblebee could miss those waves a lil making it more of a bad deal.

Maybe it'll show up on HTS? Hopefully. T_T;

OH GOD IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! BUMBLEBEE IS ONLY 1 PER CASE!


Ok, honestly, I hate to be rude,(and I might not even be talking about anyone on the boards) but the people saying they want to troop build the Vehicons are pretty selfish. I get 2 or 3, but when they say they want 5+, that is selfish. They are only one per case, so those people are making it 4 times harder for other people to get just one, since they depleted the Vehicons from 4 extra cases. Just a little rant that has been mentioned on Primecast. [Insert advertisement for Primecast on YouTube here]

I agree completely. I only plan on getting 2, MAYBE 3, max. The majority of the time there's only a max of 3 Vehicons on screen at any given time. Same with Jet Vehicon, Gaea Unicron, and Insecticon (if he gets a figure).

Yeah, only 1 for me. I'm not a big fan of army building
