Hot on the heels of the earlier Transformers: Age of Extinction Deluxe retail sighting, we now have a report of the Leader class figures showing up as well. Instagram user andydbodine found Optimus Prime and Grimlock a Target in San Diego County. Again, the actual brick and mortar street date for these figures isn't until May 17th, they may not ring up properly during check out.

Reports have been coming in for a while now, but Seibertron member reluctantyouth was kind enough to drop by with some photographic evidence that the Transformers: Age of Extinction mainline has started popping up at retail. Pictured below is Deluxe wave one, which consists of Crosshairs, High Octane Bumblebee, Scorn, and Slug. Keep in mind the official street date for these figures is May 17th, you may encounter issues actually purchasing them. Good luck, and happy hunting!

Seibertron member BERSEKAEL found the first wave assortment of 1-Step figures at a K-Mart in Key West Florida, yesterday and sent us a news submission with visual proof of his findings. The actual street date is May 17th, but with more and more stores releasing the figures early, take a chance and see if you can find them! If you do, please post your sightings in our sightings forum.

Fellow Seibertron.com user robotmel has been on the hunt in the UK, namely in Toys'R'Us, and has come up with some interesting findings concerning Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece figures Prowl and Sunstorm - of which we had heard rumours of future US release. Read on below, and check out the images, for what appears to be a confirmation of that rumour, at least for UK fans!

Popped in to my local Toys R Us and had a word with the very helpful Customer Services assistant about Transformers Masterpieces. I inquired about any that where currently available on their systems, with only Masterpiece Acid Storm floating around, but what really caught my eye further down the list was Masterpiece Prowl and Masterpiece Sunstorm!

The Customer Services assistant checked both items, which unfortunately didnt have a confirmed release date, but each had their own SKN/VNDR reference number and a price against them. Transformers Masterpiece Prowl was priced at £59.99 with a reference number of 958298 and Masterpiece Sunstorm was priced at £69.99 with the reference number 958883.

This is very positive news that both figures will be hitting UK shores in the not too distant future. I have included a photo of both information screens which the Customer Services assistant very kindly let me take.

On a tip from Seibertron member Primeultimus, our own Seibertron visited his local ROSS store in Mount Prospect, IL to confirm that they are indeed selling the Beast Hunters Cyberverse Energon Driller with Bumblebee. As you can see in the picture below, he did find the Energon Driller at ROSS, despite our having never seen any of the Beast Hunters Cyberverse toys show up in the US before. Now that we've seen the Energon Driller here, could there be hope that we will see other Cyberverse toys show up in the US, like the Commander Class Bludgeon, Unicron Megatron, and Ultra Magnus figures? Or maybe we will see Legion Class Rot Gut, Bluestreak, Divebomb and Ace Vehicon, or the Beast Hunters Construct-Bots sets that have previously not seen US release. The possibility of this wave of toys being available in the US is a little brighter with this development. Check out the packaging for the Energon Driller:



ROSS stores can be hit or miss in what they stock, so these toys may or may not be available in stores in your area. But just knowing that we've got the Energon Driller with Bumblebee appearing at ROSS stores here and there is a pretty exciting development, not only for that figure itself but what it could mean to seeing the rest of that wave show up in the States as well!

Primeultimus also confirms that Transformers Beast Hunters toys and Transformers Construct Bots have been spotted at a ROSS store near him. We haven't really seen any Beast Hunters toys show up at the discount chains yet, so worth checking out if you're in the market.

May there be galleries in the works? Come back later this week to find out!

Chomping at the bit to get your hands on some of the Transformers: Age of Extinction figures? The wait appears to be over for our friends to the north! Canadian fansite Cybertron.CA is reporting that their member Cobra Commander discovered Voyager wave 1, which features Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and Grimlock, at a Wal-Mart location. It's not uncommon for figures to hit shelves before their official street dates, so if your reading this from Canada it might be worth your time to check out your local Wal-Mart toy departments. Hopefully this news bodes well for some of the figures sneaking their way out at American retail soon.

Seibertron.com user and Twincast Podcaster ScottyP has sent us proof that the first wave of the Loyal Subjects licensed vinyl figurines are actually hitting physical stores, too! If the galleries tempted you enough to try looking for these, you may want to try a Barnes & Nobles near you, for the price of $12.95 per figure - this sighting is from Raleigh, NC.

The set was purchased at a TKMaxx store, and priced at £12.99 (~$21), check out the image below for proof.
