Hat tip to TFW2005 boards member Wildstrikes for sharing a retail find of Transformers Age of Extinction wave 2.5 and 3. These waves will include Bumblebee, Lockdown, Hot shot (a redeco from Crosshairs) and Snarl. These figures were spotted in a Toys ‘R Us at a shopping mall called Main Place, which is located at Selangor, Malaysia. Hopefully this sighting means good news for all collectors interested in continuing their AOE collections!
Happy hunting!

I just been informed that Wave 3 Deluxes have been spotted in Canada. I'm starting to wonder now.

you know what's sad,i line in the states and unless i cross over to another state witch isn't good for my car all the wal-marts close to where i live are still on wave 1 of the movies and wave 2 of the 20 buck toys.i wish my town had more then wal marts and maybe then they would actually try to get the right toys in on time ~.~

I guess… but the Dinobots Unleashed five pack isnt unleashed yet.
The hunts not over until everything is out everywhere… for everyone.
Nice List. This is the AOE coding list. I remember these.
6509 BUMBLEBEE, CLASSIC
6509 BUMBLEBEE, HIGH OCTANE
A6510 CROSSHAIRS
A6510 SLINGSHOT
A6511 DINOBOT SLUG
A6512 "SOUTHPAW"
A7812 LOCKDOWN
A7813 DRIFT
A7814 STRAFE
A7815 DINOBOT SLASH
A7979 PDQ
A8113 SNARL
A8114 RALLY CAR
A8115 DECEPTICON STINGER
There are 10 deluxe figures and a redeco for 11 total AOE deluxes… that list has 14 figures on it, with Stinger listed clearly.. it is very interesting.
Was a wave four planned and canned with a deluxe Stinger redeco and perhaps another fresh redeco or two??
Perhaps even.. deluxe Rollbar and deluxe Vehicon were originally going to get released as a wave 4 along with a Stinger redeco, in a redeco wave of sorts.
Maybe.. the wave got canned and Rollbar and Vehicon went into the platinum set instead.
Just ignore all the placeholder names… it would make sense.

Um, they actually did.
Nevermore
One-Step Changer Stinger is supposed to be exclusive to Walmart, although he was initially also included in some shipments that went to Target, including the "Walmart exclusive" sticker.
Roadblock1977
I, for one, couldn't be happier about that.
Just Bumblebee and Snarl will suffice… I already got Lockdown on the last day of August.
My sentiments exactly about Stinger. The One-step changer hasn't even come out in Washington yet.
EMP Starscream
My body is ready for the hunt.
jestermon
I'm thinking these will hit Ross and the like I don't see any space on the shelf for any more stock.
They never listed a deluxe Stinger when will people let this go?
TheArtGD
Been waiting forever for Deluxe Snarl! Still wish a deluxe Stinger would have been included in this wave.
Scypris
They should of done Hot Shot in his Armada colors, I would've bought that. Looks like Slog and Snarl are my last movie toys, unless they put the cancelled Dotm figures in this line (Soundwave, Que, and Leadfoot)
LegendAntihero
I want that Tracks. Jacket skirt ftw
TCracker
Is available in most of SEA a few weeks back. Surprised this got credited. But good for those Malaysian collectors I think.
optimusmegas
i doubt we're getting stinger at this point outiside of that one step changer and the legion class size. i know the power battlers or whatever that line is was suppose to have the garbage truck con and another con off the rally fighter cars from the farm chase part of the movie. oh yea and a blue wolf thing.
it's sad the gimmick line has more decepticons in it than the actual toy line itself……
Soundwave338
Well when you think about it, there are only 3 "Decepticons" in the move. Galvatron, Stinger, and Lockdown. The rest were drones, or unnamed Lockdown groupies. So far we have Galvatron and Lockdown (both kinda disappointing). All I want is a Deluxe Stinger remolded from the new Deluxe Bumblebee.
Fallout
ugh i need california raisin and snarl.
Autovolt 127
Well of course it would….after all it was supposed to be Tracks.
If you want to get technical that Bumblebee mold has been out for months as a TRU Evolution two pack exclusive.
SPLIT LIP
Lockdown is not new to this wave. Lockdown is wave "2.5." Everyone else, Bee, Snarl and Hot Shot, are new to wave three and haven't been out.
kevinprime14
I got Lockdown two days ago, but hot shot looks like Tracks to me.
neevnav
Side question, does anyone know where it shows your POL ship date, like last date before it ships? Want to try and make sure this drops before I have to ship mine.
W-P38
Forgive me, but why all the anticipation? I bought Lockdown at US retail (Target) at least a week ago.
