Amid the SDCC 2012 news we also have news of some new toy sightings. The Transformers Prime Weaponizers – Optimus Prime and Bumblebee – have now arrived at US retail. Running for $29.99 they are a return of the Ultra size class in all but name. These were found at a K-Mart in Kenosha, WI.
Also sighted at the same K-Mart were a couple of new Transformers Kre-O sets, namely the Battle for Energon two-pack featuring Optimus Prime and Megatron and the Decepticon Ambush set featuring Kreon Cliffjumper and a trio of Vehicon Kreons.
Keep up to speed on your latest local toy finds using our Transformers Sightings section.

Wisconsin getting something first? That's a big surprise!
Dah Padre
Grabed a set today at my local KMart. Not sure what I want to do with them though. I haven't opened them so I might return them.
megatroptimus
No such problems with the one I have.
Daimao
I'm hoping Reprolabels can do up a set to fix the stripes and other details. A little bit of color to break up all the yellow would go a long way for this figure

Anyone find the Kre-O at a TRU locally? They are having B1G1 half off until July 28th.
Grimlockimus
I'll say this though, Weaponizer Prime is actually very detailed and show accurate. I love the arms they gave him as well as the lining on the inside of the chest. Vehicle mode is lacking due to the hollow legs, but still worth the $30 for one.
Bumblebee is starting to warm up on me a bit, but he needs some serious paint detailing on his torso, it's way too yellow and missing some black stripes.
UltimusPrime
I found the New Kre-O and Weaponizers today.
Picked up the Weaponizers.

Ditto on Optimus, but I'll give the Bee to my nephew.
Jack Darby
Ugh I'll probably end up buying both of these even if Bumblebee's back pack does fall off all the time.
Chaos Muffin
Going to buy the Prime on sight! Then stare at the Bumblebee for a few weeks until I cave on him too.
Hippie Trooper
Just got my Prime this afternoon at a Kmart in Tampa, FL (Dale Mabry just north of 275).
They also had Weaponizer Bumblebee and both new 3-packs of Bot-shots.

i found the two smaller kreo sets at universal studios for $20 but if you desprately want them they are there if you live in socal aand have a season pass or are willing to pay. i think they were also in the giftshop outside also they had a battleship set in the termanator store
Shmoptimus Prime
As usual, Optimus looks cool and Bee looks like shit. I can deal with movieverse Bee, but Prime Bee doesn't interest me in the slightest.
Roufuss
Can't wait for that rare time months from now when it's all on clearance during a 50% off sale
And I agree with Daimao, all my local K-Marts order figures maybe four times a year and then just sit on them for months. They clearance them, they run a sale on the clearance and clean out everything and start the cycle again.
Exodus
As much as I like Prime, these will be a pass for me.
Starzie
My Kmart had these too. Didnt get pictures though.
Kaijumaster
I'd care about Prime so much more if there was a Megatron…..
Daimao
Most of my local K-marts still have figures from the first and only case they ordered, I guess not too many people shop there. It seems like they only restock maybe twice during the year until Christmas season
wildfly
Cause they didn't order much of the prime toys already shelfwarming?
