A fellow fan by the screen name Sinestro found several YOTH Optimus Prime figures at his local TRU. There were no Starscreams, however. He also provided picture proof of his find.

Does this mean we'll see it be released sooner by BBTS? That question seems to remain unanswered.

Here's what Sinestro had to say:

As more and more people come across finding the latest wave of the IDW Generations Deluxe figures, we thought we would showcase a couple fellow Seibertronians who took the time to post or send us news of their recent finds just in case a few people were busy with holiday events and didn't realize that these were hitting stores.

Seibertronian pondimus shows off his find at a Toys'R'Us in Hayward, California.




bounti76 also sent us a picture of his find also at a Toys'R'Us in Murray, Utah.



If you have a new finding and would love to feature it on the front page of Seibertron.com, please send us the news and a picture if possible by using the Submit News link at the top right of the front page.

If you've been keeping up with our Predacons Rising news, you'll notice that the Legion-sized two-pack Night Shadow Bumblebee versus Blight hasn't been spotted in Target yet. No longer! Seibertron himself stopped by his Target in Rosemont, Illinois, and found this elusive set while getting some Christmas shopping done.

Seibertron podcast staffer jON3.0 has sent us picture proof of the first sighting of the Rescue Bots Beambox Video Game System. This sighting happened at the Wal*Mart Supercenter in Memphis Tennessee. This Skylanders like game is Hasbro's first foray into this gaming/collectible market and much like the Skylanders system, collectible figurines are required to play and unlock features in the game.

jON3.0 wrote:The Beambox itself was sold out but the shelf spot and price sticker were there as well as Bumblebee, Heatwave and Blades.

The figurines are $6.88 each, the console itself is $39.88.

Fellow Seibertronian KingJames has shared some Kreo news with us. Buckets containing Bumblebee, Jazz and Optimus have begun appearing at his local Family Dollar store, for the low price of $10.00! (Each kit in the set normally retails for $7.99-$11.99, so that's a savings of $17.97!)

He had this to say:

KingJames wrote:Not sure if it's news but these have started showing up at the local Family Dollar store chains in Traverse City Michigan and surrounding towns. They are Kreo buckets containing Jazz, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime along with Kreons Sideswipe & Bluestreak. They are in a nice tote and priced at $10

It is indeed news. Some of you may notice the same assortment of figures and this bucket being available at both Toys R Us and Amazon for a while now, but there's not always a TRU close by for many fans, and a growing number of people (including fans) tend to shy away from online transactions, so this news is for them. With Family Dollar stores opening in more and more places every month, you can buy locally and continue to support both the Transformers and Kreo brands.

Have you seen them? Will you be buying? Let us hear your comments, join the discussion today!
