Transformers Prime "First Edition" Figures Sighted at US Retail

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! IM GOING HUNTING!!!!!!!!!

Sure, release all the good stuff just after I leave, I don't care anymore.

Just don't release Deluxe Leadfoot just now, pretty please? Don't make me regret leaving...

The packaging on these are amazing, I'd almost want to keep em in package when displaying. Hopefully they show up in Bellingham soon

Well, guess I'm heading to toys r us tomorrow.

This.

Ok I have to ask. What's the significance of "first edition?" Is it just fancy packaging for the initial release or what?

I don't believe there are any differences in the actual figures, this is just the preview wave, and as you said fancy packaging.

i see it as...... they are finally released! GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it's just fancy packaging, except for Cliffjumper who is getting an entirely new mold in the mainline in 2012. I have also heard that the Bumblebee in the mainline is going to come with 2 guns instead of one.

I just hope these things are out in VA. We don't normally get anything until months after everyone else. I've only seen 2 DOTM Ironhides, one if which I bought. Animated Arcee didn't come out until well after everyone else got one, but when they came out, there where an abundance of them. So hopefully I can find these. I think I'm going to take a chance tomorrow.

WARNING: Seibertron contains f**king AWESOMENESS!

SlyTf1, you keep making me lose the freaking Game!

Bleh. My TRU doesn't have 'em yet. Have to check out the one near work tomorrow...

Im only interested in 1 figure from wave 1 but no way is it worth $12.99 ($14 after tax). But for those that want these it would probably be smart to get them as soon as you can cause once TRU finds out these are popular the price will start to increase, just look at the classic thundercats line it started at $15 and now they're $20 all because TRU is the only place you can find them. Every 2 weeks the price jumped up a dollar. Hell look at generations, they started at $9.99 like all the other figures then slowly started to rise in price, now they're $15 when every one else sells them for around $11. The fandom needs to try and organize a boycott or something to try and stop this crap, or just learn to control themselves and they're addiction.

More the fact that people need to stop hoarding like, ALL shelved figures of Wreck-gar, or Jazz, or some other highly desired figure, all to hoard em/sell em off later for more or whatever the hell else. I know someone is going to come on here and say that you can't blame them, blah blah. But I do, because not only are you being douches for being so selfish, your hoarding... hoarding is never good in any way for anyone. STOP it.

I should have bought them yesterday here in canada.
If only i wasn't looking for the new Batman legacy 2 packs
Also will the stores in march get more of these 3?

So i just got off the phone with a nice lady from TRU Alhambra, CA and cross referenced the item #, she told me that they are getting a shipment tonight. They restock restock either tonight or early morn. I'll be making my way out there, i'll keep ya peeps posted.

I know where im going tommorow. do we have upc or skn numbers on these?

Just when I had hoped to have time to save up money for these, since I don't have any spare loot to spend right now.

Looks like me and my son are heading to TRU after I pick him up from school!!!!

From my post in this thread: tf-prime-toys-released-in-november-or-december-p1314008.php

In case people need 'em, here they are, in order of price:

$12.99 Deluxe SKN: 757212
$24.99 Voyager SKN: 757271
$29.99 Entertainment Pack SKN: 757352

NOTE: The SKNs are for the assortment/class and not the individual figures themselves.

There you go. Should make it much easier to help you find them. Good luck! (BTW, UPCs are pretty much useless. I was able to use them to get the SKNs, but they made it clear, albeit politely, and rather firm that they need the SKNs instead.)

Hey guys just came back from the Toysrus in chicago by midway airport and they had them out. I bought the Starscream, Bumblebee, and Arcee. No Cliffjumper(1 I really wanted!!!!!) They have 2 of each figure left so go get them if u live in chicago. Down ciscero

TRU in Auburn, MA had Arcee, BB, and Starscream. I grabbed all three. Still on the look out for Cliffjumper.

Thought I'd check out Canadian (West Coast) Toy'r'us just for kicks, they told me (on the phone) that they have no record of anything TF:Prime yet. Canada is sooo sloow. Probably have to wait till end of Jan, soonest.

i called the toys r us in Cuyahoga Falls OH and they said they dont have any. if someone here near there has been there could they please verify?

Found em at my TRU, chicagoland had em!! Bad news is theyre only gettintg one case at a time, and no voyagers

Does anyone know when the voyagers and the cliffjumper case change are guna happen?? Please let me know!

Found wave one in OKC!

No Prime toys in Parma, Ohio. Ended up ordering them online since I had no idea when they will get them in. I was kind of disappointed in the selection of Transformers toys my TRU had.

Live in Marysville California (north of Sacramento) and got my hands on an Arcee, they had Bumblebee and Starscream but I'm waiting a bit. It was a good day when I found a Legion Class Soundwave (2 but I only bought one and it wasn't ringing up right to begin with) so I wasnn't expecting these Prime figures at our TRU yet.

Called several Ohio and PA stores, because the distribution centers are in Columbus (which is where most of TRU.com ships from) and another in Youngstown. Other than the Columbus one, which mainly works for the .com than anything else, there are no Prime toys in the entire state of Ohio. They're coming, just not there yet.

PA...no idea as to when they'll even be available.

Yea me too, they only had one full set of Primes and I had no idea there were so many ways you could sell movie bumblebee

I actually found both Bumblebee and Arcee at the Toys R Us at Leesburg Pike, Baileys Crossroads! There were three BBs more, and the store guy said there's a chance a new shipment arrives tonight. Good luck!

these look pretty sweet
its about time though

I found them in North Carolina, I picked up Arcee and Starscream.

Hey fellow Seibertronians...

Picked-up BB, Arcee and Starscream at TRU in Humble, Tx. Almost didn't find them since theu were just tossed on shelf with DOTM shelfwarmers.

FYI... fancy packaging is affirmative AND they all come with DISPLAY STANDS. didn't see anyone mention that.

I hope Cliffjumper and Voyagers are right behind...may have to use layaway if they pop up before next payday lol

Would anyone be willing to pick up these three for me? We can work out the finer details and pricing in PM.

Yes people did mention it, but it probably got lost in the confusoin of the past couple weeks (im lookin at you bbts -.-) but yea.
Also, you can do layaway on them? I dindt even think their numbers were in trus system

Layaway? I didn't even know TRU did that. lol. Is it an online thing or in-store?

I didn't either, i have no idea what thats about

Iowa royally sucks! I think the closest TRU is at least two hours away!

Does anyone know if the first edition stuff is only going to be available at Toys R Us or has anyone seen it at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target? Cuz I need that Arcee like I need oxygen and peanut butter sandwiches!

Nope not for a while, sorry you'll either have to hold your breath/eat/something else/just wait for arcee, or you can get it online from TRU.com or somewhere else

Fyi...layaway is in store. Look at TRU website for info.

zatara1701 wrote:Fyi...layaway is in store. Look at TRU website for info.

It's also, as I understand it, seasonal only.

Some stores do it year round, now. Ask customer service for more details.

Still gettin' my peanut butter! Got a friend picking me up some distilled Arcee awesome! I already got her in the NYCC pink, but blue trumps all!

But seriously the TRU monopoly on some of my most desired TFs is getting kind of old. I had to wait till Botcon to get an Animated Arcee, and I had to have a friend get me Animated Ironhide.

I just got Bumblebee and Arcee! I saw Starscream there, and I think my mom bought him as a Christmas present for me. She was trying to hide something in the trunk of the car after we walked out of the store. Anyone know when the Voyagers are coming out, or if they're supposed to be out now? Because I need to know if I should take these 2 back and Get Optimus instead. I ain't got money to keep all three.

Keep the receipt I think you have 30 days to return it, might even be more what with the holiday shopping kicking in. If the voyagers come out before Christmas (which they probably will since toy sales suck after x-mas because parents have no money) return them and get Voyager Prime

Active DPCIs at Target

Deluxe: 087-06-2684 $11.99
Voyager: 087-06-0807 $19.99
Entertainment 2-Pack: 087-06-0734 $24.99

Apparently they're meant for the next reset. So...if this is true, what does this say about BBTS's statement about specialty markets?

I ope the voyagers get released soon.
