Hot news, everyone! Power of the Primes Voyager Wave 3 is making its US debut! You might well still be looking for Hun-Gurrr or Elita-1, but you can now add Autobot Inferno to that list. He’s the sole new release in this wave, along with a repack of Grimlock.
This does present a challenge for collectors, however. With Wave 2 still not at saturation, and Wave 3 already arriving, there’s a risk that some areas might skip over the highly desirable Wave 2 figures.
Inferno was sighted in the Modesto, CA Target. A big thanks to TFW2005 member Knightsword and Facebook group Talk Transformers for the news and image.

I think the white works a lot better for Abonimus than Purple or Pink.
Where did you get your wave 3 figures? Most sites I’ve looked don’t have them in stock.

Completed my Abominus, no thanks to Target or any other stores in Savannah, GA…sheesh

Yeah, same here, I keep calling Walmarts and nothing and the folks I talk to are like…a what? A robocar? We don't have those…ugh
Rodimus Prime
Oh, good, I'll miss out on the Wave 2 Voyagers, which I actually wanted…
Optimus4EVER
Here Elita-1! Moonracer! Get your rear bumpers over here! Whistle whistle!

Now there's a few in hand images I have a request for a picture photoshop of Inferno's robot mode please, if anyone can oblige:
Loose the black on the chest bellow the windows, replace with red on the sides and silver in the middle.
Turn the windows black.
It's not much but I think it'll do wonders for his look.

And yet here I am still waiting for Wave 2 Voyagers and Prime Masters.

That's when you wait til the last day of the show/con then go back and haggle.

I cannot afford that price…my odd job money is already tied up in my ticket to a Tf thing, for the first time ever in my area…I am going to cry…when I can.

Mine lock in tight as well. Much better than my Hot Spot.

All I will say is we don't have local toy stores here and pegs are still bare for months.
Oh, that, and if you work out the details of acquiring that much stock from retail and then balance it against the expenses of reselling, anybody that does that on more than an occasional basis will dig a very deep hole for themselves.
How big does anybody think the market for $30 deluxes is? No, really. Especially when importers are offering Takara at the same price. Who signs a lease for thousands of dollars every month in rent and banks on flipping a retail product with extremely unreliable supply to pay that bill?

Cool pics. Question, do the chest pieces lock in tight in combined mode on yours? Mine tab in, then pop out. Just wondering if it's a widespread thing or I got the one with my name on it.

this isn't "hey, someone is selling their collection", this is "the local toy stores are empty-peg on PotP Deluxe but here at the toy show some dude has ten each of everything from the wave that dropped two days ago"

The deluxe Terrorcons are in a different size which ships separately to the Voyagers, not all boxes with the same wave number arrive at once – has anything w3 other than Voyagers been found stateside yet?
The Voyager Terrorcon is in a different wave.
In theory you should be seeing Grimlocks alongside these….

There's like 37 of those abominations at my local Walmart.
But zero Terrocons.
