Lots of new sightings today. Both Legacy Titan class Metroplex and the exclusive Red Cog figure were found at targets today.
MrRay found the Red Cog weapon pack at a Target in Pennsylvania, while Zuckuss found Metroplex at a Target in New Jersey.
You'll see in that Metroplex photo that Zuckuss also found a never before seen thee pack in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line which rereleases deluxes Bumblebee, Prime and Cheetor.
While not available at US retail yet, Transformers Legacy Jhiaxus has been found online through e-bay vendors and even at collector retail in Singapore and Toysrus in Taiwan by Nimama. He and the Seige Soundwave rerelease are what make up wave 2 for voyagers. We have a few reviews from fellow Seibertronians to share with you.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Every so often Hasbro will go deep and pull out a character that really hasn't had representation in toy form, in Legacy there giving this treatment to Jhiaxus. Created during the G2 comic era, Jhiaxus has seen representation in toy form, but those were repaints/retools of other characters. This Voyager Class release is the best representation of Jhiaxus from the comics we've seen. Transformation is very intuitive with a few interesting bits, I was quite pleased to see that the figure didn't have a fake cockpit. If you're a fan of the G2 era then Jhiaxus is a must-purchase.
Transformers Authentics bravo class Arcee has been found t Dollar General locations in the US since the begining of June. In case you saw it and were not sure if it was worth your hard earned coin or not, we have 2 video reviews for you below. One is from Alex Reynard and the other from Chuck, who also writes about the toy, enjoy!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Authentics Arcee is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a neat figure that transforms without being a shell former, and it has some good articulation. On the other hand, due to the nature of Authentics, there are some tolerance issues with the legs and arms coming together, while the articulation could be a bit more functional. In general, the plastic doesn't feel as good as it could be. If you're looking for a simple Arcee then the Authentics version might be worth the look.
We now have several confirmed sightings from our own Canadian community members of N.E.S.T. Bumblebee being found at Gamestop. The photo below is of a Gamestop in Montreal. This was supposed to be a Universal Studios exclusive but became a fan channel toy due to the pandemic changing distribution plans. This toy has been available in the US for a while, at Entertainment Earth, and has even been found at random retail outlets like Movie Trading Company stores. The figure is a metallic grey redeco of Studio Series SS-57 Offroad Bumblebee with N.E.S.T logos and it comes with Sam.
Pictures have surface on the Chinese site Tieba of the second wave of Legacy core class figures found at retail. It is our first look at the entire wave in packaging, which includes Shockwave, G2 Megatron and Optimus Prime. Now that we know these are reaching retailers in the east, we'll see how long it takes to reach retailers in the west. Unlike the rest of wave 2, these have not been revealed by Hasbro. Most probably because these days reveals are accompanied by preorders. With these being more to provide a budget option to parents than complimenting the rest of the line in the same scale, the core class is seen more as shelf fodder than the other classes. Would you still want an official reveal from Hasbro if there is no accompanying preorder? And do you even need a reveal now that we have images of them found in the wild? Let us know!
We have news that Transformers Studio Series wave 2 SS 86-14 voyager class Junkheap has been found at US retail. "wtrz" found them at a Target in Arizona. This toy was found with its casemate Soundwave. Both are now in boxes with no plastic windows.
It took quite a while, but now all size classes for Legacy wave 1 have ben found in Canada. The last ones to appear were the voyagers and leaders which have been found at Walmarts across the nation. The other classes have been found in Walmarts as well and other retailers like Toysrus, but it's been a slow trickle.
Toysrus is the exclusive retailer of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line in Canada and the hotly anticipated Kup and Cliffjumper wave have been found there. However, these deluxes are $42.99. We all know Kup's colours are better, but are they THAT much better? That's the question Canadians are asking themselves.
Looks like you'll be seeing something new on shelves at Walmart. The trio of deluxe exclusive redecos from the Kingdom line, now released as Transformers Legacy exclusives, have been found at Walmart. Those include Sandstorm, Buzzsaw and Nightprowler. The image below comes from a Walmart in Connecticut and was reported on redditt. They are 22.97, so the price point before the recent increases.
If you find these in your area, you can share that with others in the community in your respective sightings thread.
We have news that Transformers Legacy exclusives have been found at UK retail. Legend of Matt found them at a Smyths in Bristol. These are all exclusive redecos of Kingdom Beast Wars molds: Sandstorm, Buzzaw and Nightprowler. They are Walmart exclusives in the US.
We have news that Transformers Legacy leader class wave 2 has been found at US retail. shapercreator14 found them at a Target in Cleveland, Ohio. Blitzwing is the only new toy in this wave, the other is a repacked G2 Optimus Prime.
