It didn’t take long after our first US sighting of the new Studio Series Wave 12 Voyager, and now we can report that the new Studio Series Wave 12 Deluxe is also out at US retail.
This wave consists of the new SS-70 B-127 (Bumblebee movie) and SS-71 Autobot Dino (Dark of the moon). Both figures were spotted at Target in Gainesville, Virginia.
Happy hunting!

Nice. I went to 2 different Targets, didn't find anything. The shelves were pretty empty, so I'm assuming they are gonna restock soon
Update: Went to 1 of the Targets and found Starscream. Bought him. TBH he didn't impress me. Transformation is just dull and boring. Then went to the second Target and found Dino along with B-127. Only bought Dino, since I really hated Cliffjumper.

Pulse is supposed to be an exclusive experience, yet the figures arrive the latest. Dino and B-127 coming out on August 1st. I thought it was called HASBRO Pulse for a reason, since Hasbro makes them. Guess not

Yeah, Walmart is shit. Last time I went to Walmart, they removed the whole TF section no explanation. The TF figures were just laying in random places

Might check it out if they’re still in stock. I put in an order on amazon for just Dino and Starscream. Usually I double up in case there’s issues, but I didn’t put one in on Pulse for that wave.

Yes, all 3

Did you get them from CMD?

So glad I've had my SS Dino, B-127, and Starscream for a couple weeks now, no hunting for me.

I found all the ER figures in-store at either Walmart or Target except for Arcee. During my hunt I visited dozens and dozens of stores but I never saw Arcee but I found all the other figures in the case. For months ER Arcee wasn't available on Hasbropulse, Amazon (for retail), or Target.com either. I didn't worry much since I knew Arcee would be repackaged again in Kingdom. Within the last 6 weeks I saw Kingdom Arcee a couple times at different Targets but later when I went back to the store, all were gone.
The ER figure I saw most often and that was shelf warming big time was ER Wheeljack and he's also getting getting repackaged for Kingdom.

And so it begins…again.

Shit! I saw Dino the other day here in Canada but I didn’t think he was that new. I definitely didn’t remember that Cybertron BB was his casemate. I’m going to have to remember which EB Games I was at.

It’s almost the exact same thing with me. Target has been pretty consistent, although Arcee is starting to shelf warm big time (because apparently Hasbro thought it was smart to re-release what is arguably considered to be one of the worst figures in the Earthrise line). I’ve been lucky at Walmart a few times (I found SS86 Hot Rod and Dinobot at one of my Walmart’s) but lately their toy aisles have been pretty empty and in disarray. It’s a shame.

You must be in a alternate universe then .

Dino(aka Mirage) is not actual Ferrari 458 Italia but I don\'t know what car he is in Studio Series so I\'m gonna pass him and get him as masterpiece in the near future

I checked my local wal-mart recently, and literally all they had was four Netflix wave 2 deluxes. And no, none of them were Bumblebee. I presume the scalpers got those quick.
This is why I'm glad Hasbro Pulse has exceeded my expectations. I remember when the announcement was first made, that some people were convinced it would mean even more "kiddie" transformers would be on the site. And then it turned out it was Hasbro's solution to the never-ending physical distribution problems, because they actually pay attention to the adult fanbase and knew this needed to be fixed.

Same with me. . I found all the Netflix figures (Walmart exclusives), Kingdom, ss86 at Walmart. I hope to find SS Dino and SS Starscream soon. My local Target haven’t been good at stocking or restocking new Transformers lately. All they have are couple Buzzworthy BB and Super7 Transformers.

Complete opposite where I am. I haven’t seen a Kingdom or SS ‘86 figure at Target in months. Walmart keeps stocking them near me.

Great. something ELSE I can't find…

It seems like Target is getting all the new stuff lately while Walmart is really sucking at putting out anything new. My local Walmarts have hardly put much out these past few months.
