We have a new US sighting for the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege line. The only new release for wave 3 Micromasters, WFC-S32 Decepticon Blackjack & Hyperdrive (Sports Car Patrol), has been found at Fair Lakes Target in Virginia. This can also be ordered right now on Amazon.com for $9.99 by clicking here. For those wondering, WFC-S33 Autobot Powertrain & Highjump (Off Road Patrol) is wave 4.
The sightings come from Golion who posted it on the TFW2005 boards. Golion posted comparison shots with previous Blackjack figures.
Regarding the Siege line, we also have a video review of Springer, who is also being found in the US.

He’s till schedule for June release along with springer separately in all online retailers. I think there might be 2 separate wave three voyager releases. One all springer and one all thundercracker

I like it. I tried my last version as something different I hadnt seen before. But I take yours and make; Boombox/Turntable for DJ RumbleKing.
Just getting back into photos after a year and not quite back up to par.

Ok, I checked at entertinament earth and indeed there are 2 different waves. But it snot all one or the other. It's springer and Starscream, Thundercracker and Megatron
So Sabr, you can ignore that now.

Gotcha. Yeah it’s really weird distribution at the moment. I figured it was all springer and all thundercracker since bbts and tfsource don’t have listing for full cases on either like everyone does and that photo someone took of 4 or 5 springers on a shelf.

Yeah I’m in NorCal it’s a real roll of the dice sometimes. Not getting the TR wave with Windblade and Twin Twist really hurt.

There is no more rhyme or pattern to it anymore. For a while it was the west getting it first but now we are seeing it all over the place.

It seems to be a bit better/quicker now, but the pattern is still basically the same

I don't have an updated pic, but they did the same thing. The Leader Shockwaves are actually affixed to the shelving with the security device... I can go to another store a few miles in the opposite direction, and it's nothing like this

If I even tried asking to open a box at my local walmarts, they'd probably have me escorted out of the store. Of course this is the same place that has all men's shaving products on lockdown, and they actually tie the security devices for high end products to the shelf fixtures... So many G1 Prime re-issues and Siege Leaders that will never get purchased....
Hey, that will result in a properly warmed shelf you mean. It’s all about perspective. I’m taking it back Will so help me I’m taking shelf warming back.
I shall not rest!...until, well, I mean if there’s some official append to a dictionary or something what am I going to do right? But! Until then, my resolution shall know no conquerer.

If you ask the person stocking the shelves to open a case on the floor, they say "go ahead". Probably because they dont care. Thata how I got all of my reflectors and a few others. The shelves were fully stocked with the older figures and I saw a box on the pallet. They let me open it and I bought half the box

He’s really starting to spill out. I’ve been looking and I found a target with 3 and a buddy at work said he saw 5 at a target.

Railbomb wrote:So I just got Brunt from a friend of mine who works a Walmart, and hearing the case distribution I think we may be seeing a revision wave instead of the original assortment. The case stocked only had 2 Refractors instead of the 3 the initial wave should have. Instead the case was evenly packed with 2 of Red Alert, 2 of Brunt, 2 of Refractor, and 2 of Hound. This is the first I've heard of Hound being included in this wave, so Thundercracker very well still be wave 3, it's just we've only seen wave 3 revision cases.
It's so strange considering there was only 1 wave case rumored, and then this one switches it up and arrives first.
I'm annoyed that I don't have the camera mode. I really want to finish it.

Here's a look at the Sports Car patrol for those interested

It would have made a world of difference I think.

I agree that that is one thing he sorely needed. He's fantastic, but that would have been an extra layer of ultra sweet icing

Beside, he would have stilled looked like Optimus Prime at a glance even without that G1 head, really.

What's even more upsetting is the fact that they didn't even go full G1 with the head since it still has the yellow eyes. If they'd gone full G1 with the blue eyes, then fine. Whatever. But the yellow eyes are such a tease

No way man. Rip those electronics out and give more articulation to the torso!
And possibly make the sword out of a different material. The rubber does not hold up well in the tropics...

Yellow eyes are a mix of visual consistency with the super mode+homage to the Diaclone/G1 toy coloring.

This.
the Vector Prime mold is good, but it can definitely have some improvements in articulation, swords, and maybe wing size too, they are a bit small and bad material.

It's all good. For a bit I was wondering if it was an in-joke that I wasn't aware of.
So this reminds of Siege now. How many pronunciations for Impactor are there.

What’s the box code?

It just says "Microx M" which is a reference to his original microman toy. Its just a fun easter egg, I wouldnt take it to mean anything else. And the pic is just an artist's take on the camera mode, I wouldn't make more of it than that.
Hasbro is releasing two simultaneous case assortments of wave 3 right now, so getting three reflectors shouldn't be the toughest thing.
