Though it seems like barely any time since wave 4 began turning up at brick and mortar retail in the US, wave 5 is moving quickly to take its place. This afternoon we have reported sightings of both the Deluxe and Micromaster assortments for wave 5.
The Deluxe assortment which brings Spinister and Crosshairs, plus a repacked earlier Deluxe or two, was spotted by Scypris at a Walmart in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The online on-sale date for these toys is currently listed as December 1 on Hasbro Pulse, though some other retailers are projecting even later arrivals.
Micromaster wave 5 features the two pack of Ratbat and Rumble (the red one) and Micromaster Battle Patrol Direct-Hit and Powerpunch. We don't have solid online sale dates for this assortment, but it's not unreasonable to expect it would begin around the first of December as well. The Micromasters were spotted at two Target locations in Tallahassee, Florida by GoldDeadEnd.
Currently that leaves Battlemasters Rung and Singe, Voyager Apeface, and Leader Astrotrain waiting to make in-store appearances and see Transformers Siege finished up to make way for Earthrise coming early in the new year.
Mark another one off the list! Leader class Astrotrain has been spotted at a Walmart in Newburgh, Indiana by rattrap007 following on our first US sightings of Deluxe and Micromaster assortments from Siege's fifth and final wave.Astrotrain has been solicited as being in an assortment with a reship of Ultra Magnus.
