If not, I guess Ferak will be solid case, which is good for me since that's the only one I want.

Thundertron was the fifth figure in the leak and is supposed to be a leader pack (assuming he comes with something else.) he's product number G0236 according to the leak.

A fellow Québécois already got his hands on the leader Sandstorm and made a video review.
Yes, PVP got beaten on this one!

Have a look:

Same thing with Silverbolt!

M'eh. This next Walmart 'exclusive' line looks like a hard pass for me at least.

Seems to be the general feeling. Similar to the G2 line we last had.
And to be fair, that's how it should be with exclusives, just extra product that is not "essential" to complete collections.

Some Transformers Legacy United Wave 2 toys have been found in collector stores and so we now have video reviews for these.

Below you will see reviews for deluxe Chromia, voyager Silverbolt and leader Sandstorm.

These have yet to be officially announced and the only place that had them available to ship to the US was CMD store which is now sold out.

We should be getting preorders before the end of March.

I will have 1 of each please.

I am impressed with those 3, especially Sandstorm and Silverbolt. Sandstorm is a really good modern take on the G1 original. Silverbolt looks awesome, more BW is always welcome. Chromia will join my fembot team.

Although I'm really bothered by the bot's feet, Sandstorm is a must get just because I'm still missing him and Swoop in my "seen-on-screen" G1 characters' shelves. Still, it's a good overall effort on Hasbro to get this close to a modernized G1 toon/toy mix. Looks fun.

My limited shelves space only let me collect G1 S1-S3 and OP/Megs of other series and some "MUST NEED!!!" level of want, This Silverbolt is not it. Too bad, as like many BW fans, Dinobot & the Silverbolt/Blackarachnia story arcs were my favorites in the series. But the Kingdom/Legacy figures aren't what I hoped they'd be.

Chromia... I'm fine with my T30 version (the TFA Arcee retool), but I love the Legacy TFA Prowl mold. So if I see it on discount/clearance, I'll probably get one and repaint it into any one of the Fembot that's missing on my G1 shelf.


I see no PO yet on any of the Canadian online retailers...

I recently set adie some transformers for my 5 year old and 8 year old nephews to play with.

This has somewhat changed my perspective on transformers.
I myself grew up with beast wars, so I love the silverbolt figure...

I don't think my nephews would understand the figure.

I'm no expert on Chromia, especially Cyberverse which I never watched, but her bot from doesn't seem too accurate to according to the images I've seen. That said it looks decent enough for an extrapolation of what a live action might be from a motorcycle, and if I had more room on my Autobot shelf I'd consider buying it. But since I don't I'll have to pass and hold that spot open for Gears.

If they ever release something lie this version I'd buy it.

I came close to getting thrilling thirty figure but $30 was a bit much for my taste.

Nice to see sandstorms feet can be folded so they dont look fugly, hopefully with the wheels down it will give it stability. still not keen on the head/yellow cap.

Yeah, they didn't even try to make her look accurate to Cyberverse Chromia from the neck down. They just stuck a new head on the G1-ified body of Legacy Animated Prowl, changed the colors, and called it a day.

I would have expected something like this on a Select toy, or some sort of exclusive. It's sad for a mainline toy.

It's not even 7 AM PST on March 14, and all of Star Raiders are sold out? The listings said they wouldn't be available until then. Or is it a case of them clearing the listings before making them available?

Looks like all of Hasbro's stuff is down, it's probably temporary.

Seems like it was indeed to get things ready. At 7:01 AM I was able to pre-order Cannonball from Walmart.

I do wonder if any of these are at risk of selling out. Who would be the most popular? Lockdown, maybe?

I was able to order all four (no Road Pig or Thundertron yet), but the one that gave me the most trouble was Filch, I kept getting an error stating that she couldn't be added due to popularity and to try later, but after a couple minutes I was able to get her. She'll probably be the most popular since it's her first real figure.

Links are live now and avail on Pulse! GO for exclusives!!

And Filch sold out on both Walmart.com and Pulse. She's definitely the most popular figure in the series. Less than 20 minutes.

Hasbro has officially revealed the Transformers Star Raiders figures and the preorders are live.
Below are the links.

Remember, some Walmart exclusive never made it to store shelves and remained online only, like Galaxy Shuttle and TLK Hot Rod.

Here are the links:

Lockdown: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... 5290101948

Cannonball: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... 5226743233

Ferak: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... 5285700004

Filch: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... 5290101950

They are also available in minimal quantities on Pulse for Premium members.

I had to look her up to even know who she was. But I guess that makes sense. IIRC... The Decepticons with the unique Beast Modes were quite popular in RiD15. The fact that few of them actually had toys I guess shows there is a demand for them.

The fact that these aren't coming out until August put me off pre-ordering. There's only one I marginally want, and not enough to set aside $25 for 5 months. If I see it in stores great. If not, no biggie this time.

I can tell Filch is the short-packed one ;_;

Very fast stream today with nothing we haven't seen before (they joke about Legacy United wave 2 has already been leaked, but they'll be talking Legacy all of next week's stream). They did mention a couple things about the Star Raider figures. Cannonball can store his weapons in his legs. His Cyber Key slots in the same way the original does, not with a peg or anything like that. The images of Lockdown and the one they had on the stream are missing additional silver and green paint ops on his legs shown on the back of the box CAD version and will be updating the images soon. Likewise Ferak will have some additional paint on his chest.

Emerje

Looks good. Just not $55 good.

Here we thought they finally smartened up and did an even case of 4 figures, only for the stream to confirm that Road Pig and Thundertron are coming later in the year so it looks like we're getting another instance like Velocitron where we get a late refresh that swaps some Deluxe figures out for another (and most Walmarts wont even bother like with Crasher, Shadowstrip and Galaxy Shuttle).
