Is it so wrong that the Legends Wheelie actually looks more like the movie figure than Deluxe Wheelie?

The US will be getting the black Ironhide, but only as part of the Target-exclusive 'Straightaway Shootout' box set.

I'd be extremely surprised if these didn't see a US release. Wheelie and Soundwave were first unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con, and many of these also showed up in Wal-Mart's computer system as long ago as April...

I don't buy many Legends, but:
Legends Wheelie is a must-buy for me. I passed on the Deluxe.
And Legend Soundwave is kind of neat and cute, so I'll probably get him.

Never understood why since the first movie they have made so many kiddie line toys. EZ Collections, Fast Action Battlers, Robot Heroes, Robot Replicas, Keychains, Mr. Potato Heads, Bobble-Heads, Mighty Muggs...I miss 1984-1988 when each character got only one toy and if you were under 3 tough luck.

There's a concept called "making money". A company as successful as Hasbro doesn't get to where it is without diversifying its product lines.
Do you miss the 80s era of Transformers enough to not own any post G1 figures?

I don't collect Legends but that Wheelie is a must have for me.
Btw, what the hell happened to Ironhide, was he involved in a car crash at some point? That looks so bad.

Wheelie looks at least somewhat in scale as an EZ toy.
Too bad they aren't sold individually. Would have love to get the little guy.

At retail, they are not sell 8 figures as a set. We can buy it individually, the catch is all boxes are blindfolded. You dont know what are you getting.
