The first wave of the Speed Stars-branded Versus Packs have been released at retail in the United States, with five packs found at a Walmart in East Dundee, Illinois. The five packs are the first five numbered packs in the "Battle Series 2" series of Speed Stars vehicles. In what is good news for most RPM/Speed Stars fans, the assortment contains the figures from the last few rare assortments of RPM two-packs. Found were Optimus Prime vs. Bonecrusher, Optimus Prime vs. Desert Long Haul, Nightwatch Bumblebee vs. Patrol Barricade, Sideswipe vs. Wreckloose, and Jetfire vs. Megatron. The sixth set in "Battle Series 2", which has not seen and confirmed as part of the first assortment, was listed on the package-back as Enforcer Ironhide vs. Mixmaster.

Of note is that, unlike previous pre-release figures, Wreckloose's etched name on the underside of the car remains Sideways while the two versions of Optimus Prime available are missing the round insignia on the underside of the vehicle.
