Yeah, I didn't want to post it twice. There have been a bunch more sightings now, too.

So, is Drift supposed to be in this first wave? Most of the online retailers list him as such, but it looks like only WfC, RoTF, and PCC so far. WfC Prime is quite nice though!

The first wave of 3.0 is WfC Bumblebee and Prime, Thrust, and Drift. Problem is the way I understand it Hasbro put only the WfC characters in one case and only the other two in a another case of "wave 1" and it seems the WfC case is the one that's getting better stocking.
I've yet to see anything new in months...

Well, that's exactly what I'm experiencing! I was all ready to run in and snatch up some new bots. Instead, I stood there for 10 minutes examining 20 Primes for blemishes! ^_^;

Classics reissue three-pack featuring deluxe Hotrod, Galvatron, and Cyclonus. Hopefully they're all repainted, I could really go for Hotrod and Cyclonus in cartoon colors and Galvatron in gray G1 toy colors. Wow, I nailed it! All three in their original G1 colors! I'm really looking forward to the animated look of Hot Rod, but how will it look in the Fans Project Rodimus upgrade? Emerje

Here is your chance to get Rodimus again if you want to get him for the FP armor.
I like the new color for cyclonus.

Drift and Thrust are mine! but i passed on Bumblebee and Optimus Prime...should i have gotten them? They look rather flimsy and bow-legged, and fat.

Prime is totally worth having - not sure about Bumblebee. Where'd you get Drift and Thrust?

Found drift. His car mode is horrible. Its everything I hate about the tuner scene embodied in a toy. The robot mode is decent though. Feel the arms a little smallish, and there is a bit of kibble, but he is a not a bad buy. Make some cool sword poses, even though I do not think a sword is a good weapon for a transformer, but that is another argument.

Jazz and Tracks are must buys for me. They were always my two favorite G1 cars, and these look pretty nice. It'll be interesting to see what Takara does with them, too. Drift and Thrust are mine! but i passed on Bumblebee and Optimus Prime...should i have gotten them? They look rather flimsy and bow-legged, and fat. I would recommend getting them. I think they're pretty great (Prime in particular is one of the best TFs I've gotten in a long time), but it really depends on your taste.

Still no 3.0 for me, why are these so damn hard to find!? Did finally find PCC at Walmart. The news from China is very exciting, not only are we getting Voyagers again, but we're also getting Scouts for the first time! Hopefully Windcharger is the same size as BB and CJ. Nice thing is they've only shown one scout so we know there are more on the way. Emerje

Target at TC had a few last time I went in there. Yesterday I think. All targets just changed over their TF stuff so I would check them out.

Still can't find Drift anywhere! You know, he is in stock at TRU.com. That's how I got mine. Local TRU is about 20 min away and it very rarely has anything that is actually worth buying. I normally have to look on line for the "hot" items. They also have the WFC Prime & Bumblebee and Thrust. Looks like they had Banzaitron, but it is OOS now.

Target does seem to be the place to go. Found plenty of each of wave one there as well as all of the yellow carded/boxed movie figures and PCC. Didn't see a single RotF package which means I probably missed out on some good clearance prices. Picked up a WfC Prime for only $10, it's as good as everyone says it is.
