Well that didn't take long. After the Toxitron Leader Class G2 Grimlock was found at U.S. retail, we now have a confirmed sighting of the Deluxe Class figures from the same line! Mirage, Sideswipe, Laser Cycle, Dead End and Jazz (in their unreleased G2 decos) were all found at a Walmart in Salt Lake City, Utah, by yours truly. After picking up Jazz, Mirage, and Dead End, it looks like the rumors of Dead End and Sideswipe being shortpacked are true. There were 2 each of Jazz, Mirage, and Laser Cycle, and one each of Sideswipe and Dead End, making any potential G2 Menasor harder to complete.
This sighting leaves only Toxitron himself, and Voyager Cloudcover as the remaining figures in this line not yet sighted in the U.S.
Are you looking forward to finding these figures in your local Walmart? Let us know what you think below!
Hot off the sighting of Toxitron Collection G2 Deluxe figures at a Canadian Walmart we also have our first sighting of a Leader G2 Grimlock at a Walmart in Florida by a TFW member. Thanks to Nemesis Primal for letting us know as well as photos from both sets of sightings.
Nemesis Primal wrote:Apparently as of yesterday the Deluxe wave is out in Canada, seems like Dead End and Sideswipe are the shortpacked ones based off Robot Kingdom's case breakdown and in-store availability:
And on top of that, a TFW user bruteslayer101 found G2 Grimlock in Florida, looks like the IDW head on the box art was not indicative of the actual figure:
So I guess the hunt is on for those looking for these?
New sightings in Canada are coming at us in a fast and furious fashion and from three different retailers:
- At Toysrus we have a sighting of the Buzzworthy Ironhide and Prowl two pack in most provinces.
- At Walmart we have sigthings in the Ontario eregion for the Walmart exclusive G2 deluxes 2 Deluxes including Mirage, Jazz, Laser Cycle and Dead End. These are all part of the same wave.
- At Gamestop, fellow Seibertronian -Kanrabat- found the Legacy Evolution Medix, these are hitting several provinces simultaneously.
Hello one and all! When the Dirge and Ramjet two pack came and went on Amazon a few years ago, many were frustrated that not only were they exclusive figures of well-known characters, but they were in limited quantities, and the aftermarket prices skyrocketed. Well, last year, we learned that Hasbro was planning on re-releasing Dirge in the mainline Legacy Evolution. The figure only had one change from the original, with yellow plastic for the wings, rather than the painted wings of the Amazon release.
In any case, the wait for that figure is over, as both Tuned Agent and Cyber Bishop have reported finding not only Dirge, but his wavemate Nemesis Leo Prime at U.S. retail! Both were found at U.S. GameStop stores (where new Transformer figures have been showing up with increasing regularity lately). Photo proof from Tuned Agent is included below.
Are any of you looking forward to these figures? You may want to check your local Game Stop if you're in the U.S. Let us know what you think below!
Gamestop has been the place to go for preorders and new Transformers figures in the US and Canada. Case in point: Beachcomber, Axelgrease and Devcon have been found in both US and Canadian Gamestop stores. Now the stores don't carry a lot more than what was preordered so it's not guaranteed you'll find all these three toys in stock at every location. The sightings come from all over the place in either country, but the image below was taken by fellow Seibertronian Cyber Bishop who found their copy in Louisianna. These are set to be shipped out by online retailers very soon as well.
We have video reviews below of the three figures. Let us know which of this wave you are planning on getting.
We have news that Transformers Legacy Evolution Nemesis Leo and Dirge have been found at Canadian retail. They were found at Gamestop stores, but not at the same time/locations, so they are shipping and arriving separately. The image below is from a Montreal location.
There was a pop up event in Taiwan and titan class Nemesis from the Legacy line was available for purchase. So now fans have it in hand. We have images below from Alex. Speaking of in hand pics, we also have some of core Snarl, which is a pretty big deal since he hasn't even been revealed yet. So this is our first look at not just him but a completed Volcanicus as well. Those images come from Yahoo Auctions.
And we thank fellow Seibertronian Rodimus Prime for letting us know that Armada Megatron was found their local Walmart in Georgia. All images are below.
Good time to visit your local Walmart, if you're in Canada. Not only are there some great new deals but there are also some new toys. Mainline voyager Rhinox from Transformers Rise of the Beasts just hit shelves, along with the latest wave of core class legacy figures (you can see all those on the shelf image below). We have some reviews of Rhinox for you below from our community.
Walmart has also got some nice deals on Transformers toys. The retro G1 releases are only $29 CAD (which is slightly above $20 USD), making Hound and Thundercracker 40% off. The ROTB Beast Weaponizer two packs (which I highly recommend to any parent who wants to get their 5-7 year olds into Transformers) are only $15 CAD ($11 USD). That is great value when you consider that it makes them the same price as the inarticulated Battle Changers.
While Jawbkreaer has yet to choose his alt mode in the Transformers Earthspark show, his spoilerific toy is being found in the US. Fellow Seibertronian Emerje found it in a Walmart in Maine. Starscream is part of the same wave of warrior class toys.
Emerje wrote:Found Jawbreaker (and Starscream) at Walmart tonight. He's pretty simple, but has an effective transformation. I like the way everything tucks away leaving him kibble free. Definitely a worthwhile Warrior class figure.
Toysrus Canada is getting rid of some overstock and Winners/Marshalls is getting it. The good news is Winners is using the already liquidated price from TRU as a basis for their discount, so toys are cheap. Case in point, the exclusive Silverstreak which is only 9.99 CAD (about $7 USD)
