The G1 reissues in cartoon colours of Perceptor and Kickback appeared in Canada last month but have yet to be found in the US. Below are images of this new Perceptor compared to the previous reissue which was a straight rerelease of the G1 toy.
A few points to note:
- the instructions only show 1 alt mode (microscope)
- the microscope is not functional
For those curious about Kickback, here is a review showing comparisons to the G1 colours as well.
The Rise of the Beasts toyline isn't done yet. While all mainline toys have been made, distribution is all over the place and just now are Americans finding the big simple Scourge toy from the Titan Changer line at Walmart. While obviously not a toy aimed at collectors, there are Scourge completionists out there and of course this gives parents a big and affordable Scourge toy to buy for their kids. We have some video reviews for you below if you are curious, and where you can check out that very detailed front grill.
This toy is part of the second wave of Titan Changers where he is the only new figure.
While many fans have had Studio Series 86 leader class Snarl for a while, he has only popped up at US retail recently. We have had a few reports of him found at Gamestop and he appears to be in solid cases (then again, that might just be a Gamestop thing). Speaking of Studio Series, we also have word that the latest deluxes have been found in the US, but this time at Walmart. The new deluxes are SS 86 Brawn and Cliffjumper from the video game series (based on the previously released Bumblebee). We also got word that these deluxes are appearing in Singapore at collectible stores such as the one found in the international airport.
We thank all the fans who submitted their sightings. Below are video reviews of these toys if you want to know as much as possible about them before buying them.
Some of these latest releases are also in stock at Seibertron's store.
Fun news for Americans, several new exclusives in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line are being found in Target stores. Here is a breakdown of the sightings:
- Transformers Rise of the Beasts Jungle Mission 3-Pack, which has Cheetor, Mirage and Airazor (finally) found by 3P Desperation in Daphne, Alabama
- Transformers Studio Series Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime found by Taureanstar in Mooresville, North Carolina
- Transformers Studio Series 86 2 Pack, featuring a dying Prowl and Ironhide, found by CringeMcCringle in Bainbridge, Ohio (AOE Grimlock was also found at that location and has been out for a little while, but just a heads up in case people don't know)
The US is first at being able to make the following statement: all toys from the exclusive Unreleased G2 line (aka Toxitron line) have been found at retail. Of course, it may not be instantaneous for every location, but now is definitely the time to check at your local Walmart. For a quick recap, Grimlock was found first, followed by Cloudcover over the week-end. The deluxes were found in the beginning of the week and now we have multiple sightings of Toxitron also being found. And that coincides with Toxitron shipping from Hasbro Pulse as well. Based on what we know is in this line (both announced and unannounced), this is the entire line.
We have video reviews for you below if you want to know more of these toys before getting them. The ones without listings, like Grimlock, are said to be available for preorder this Friday from both Walmart and Pulse, as they will be revealed as part of SDCC.
In terms of case contents, it seems the leader and Cloudcover are shipped in solid cases (so all the same toy in each case) but for the the deluxes, it is a pack of 8 and Sideswipe and Dead End are shortpacked while the others come 2 per case.
Hasbro revealed Buzzworthy Towline today who may have the longest official toy name of all time: Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Legacy: Evolution Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Tow-Line
This toy has been found at Target stores already. The image below is from fellow Seibertronian O.Supreme. It was on Hasbro Pulse but sold out instantly and there is no listing on Target yet despite what Hasbro states below:
RollOut with #Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Legacy: Evolution Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Tow-Line! This RobotsInDisguise 2000 Universe Tow-Line comes with 2 exhaust pipes, 2 blasters, hook, tow line, and shield accessories! Available exclusively at Target with limited quantities now on HasbroPulse!
There has been of news concerning the Walmart Exclusive G2 Themed Line. The deluxes, leader (Grimlock) and voyagers were found in the US all of a sudden. For those wanting all the info you can on these toys and their special decos, we have in hand images below. We also have video reviews comparing them to previous decos/molds along with a look at the box art.
The rest of the wave should be up for pre-order shortly. Please be aware that Sideswipe and Dead End are shortpacked while the others come 2 per case.
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.
