I stopped by a local Wal-Mart during lunch and noticed these hanging on two of the deluxe pegs. Unfortunately, the actual toys weren't on the shelf, but they were still bringing box from the back. I've seen this happen in past years where a few stores somehow get a small quantity of toys *extremly early*. Only time will tell.

It's just a shelf tag. Don't worry too much on it. I walked into a Walmart that had "TRA ANIMATED DELUXE ARCEE - SLEEK CAR" on the tag.

Toys from the FUUUUUUTURRRRE...!!! Now Wal*Mart will stop at nothing, not even warping the fabric of spacetime, to bring you the latest deals. Just think, by going into the future and obtaining all of the Arcees, then bringing them back into the past, they'd really be beating the competitors to the punch. And my, I'm overthinking this.
Seriously, though...man, Arcee? Now that's jumping the gun. Even Botcon-goers didn't see more than concept art, if I remember right. This post has been edited by Moroboshi Ataru: Nov 25 2008, 06:50 PM --------------------  BRB |

I found Deluxe Hound, Cyclonus, Cheetor, and Starscream at a Target this morning, so I guess wave 4 is hitting shelves. No Waspinator, tho'....

Awesome, I didn't expect my Target to get them this fast, but here we are!
It's a little bit of a shame that Ravage isn't much of a cassette tape. He's more of a black rectangle with holes that's a tape because they say it's a tape. He's still amazing though...and maybe Reprolabels can make a set of cassette decals for him. I wouldn't mind a tape drum on his back, or silver stripes on the upper part of the front legs, if it meant he'd look a little more tape-like. --------------------  |

I'll second the call for the DCPI. It's not in the sightings thread, either.

The DPCI won't do you any damned good. The number is the same for all Universe deluxes, regardless of wave. Unless, of course, you want to find out how many boxes they have of Waves 1-3 in the back...
