We are providing an update to our original article, found below. After we posted it, TF fan Josh reported to us on Facebook that both the leader class and voyager class Velocitron toys were also found in Georgia. It is his image that you see in the thumbnail. This means that the entire line has been found in the US. Walmart is currently in the middle of a back to school reset (as is Target) so while many stores may have them, they may not have the time to put them up yet or are waiting for the proper time coinciding with their reset plans.
_____________________________
The hunt is ON! For anyone in the US who was not able to preorder a Cosmos, he has been found at a US Walmart. The Valley View Walmart in Virginia to be exact. Below is an image of the case Wreckgar39 found, confirming the case contents. They also found leader class Scourge and both sighitngs were posted on the TFW2005 boards.
In Canada, the voyagers were found. It was said that the case content was 2 Overrides and 1 Hauler. The voyagers were found in Ontario by a few Canadians and the specific sighting in the picture below was poste by Renegade Decepticon.

I like how classics hound looks, and he has ankle tilt. I also have a POTP Neachcomber in hand, and I'll never replace him. (Probably not even if the slider breaks)

Same here, because I too already have Beachcomber and Seaspray. And I'm torn on getting Powerglide or waiting for an update.
Then I jut have to wait for a proper G1 Hound and I should be good.

A normal retail toy that will be available like the plague sooner or later like Origin Bee...
Scalpers can shove it where the sun don't shine.

I don't understand why try scalp something like that. I know it's a Walmart exclusive in the states but at least in the UK and, I'm guessing a good portion of Europe, there's a number of retailers who will be carrying them. Smyths have got them now (we've already had restocks of Override and Hauler) and IndemandToys have said they'll have them if they haven't already.
I expect there's going to be quite a decent amount of stock if they're able to get them to a number of UK retailers and the JP releases will likely be like the Netflix stuff which ended up showing on a lot of JP goods stores online.
He may be a challenge to get now, especially from what I hear about Walmarts seemingly poor store distribution but give it a bit and he should be relatively easy to get, surely?
But I guess scalpers are going to scalp and try take advantage of new product just to get that early profit before it becomes easy to get.
Also, while it'll probably come out as a slight repaint or with different accessories in a multipack, I doubt they're going to lock Cosmos behind that exclusive line for good. A lot of people have waited a while for a good new Cosmos it'd make no sense (plus gotta get that mold usage up to make up for the cost of a new mold being made in the first place)

I've learned to be patient. Most things end up in my area at one point or another. Been hunting today but nothing yet. I'm thinking by the first week of the month I should start seeing new stuff like this.

Possibly, but in this case it's nothing like Origin Bee where it's very niche and only seen in one Episode while Cosmos was in several episodes. So I'm not expecting to be quite as abundant as Bee was towards the end, though I do hope I'm able to find it easier than it is to get a Walgreens Exclusive!
The fortunate aspect of Cosmos is that there shouldn't be any vehicle licensing to worry about so the odds of him being reissued are good.

I wouldn't compare this to Origin Bee. For a lot of us Walmart didn't restock the Netflix lines after the initial stock so if you missed the popular figures you never saw them. Then there was all the Walmart.com cancelations that just compounded the issue. Smyth's might be getting full cases of Cosmos but it's unlikely Walmart will since they're the ones that wanted him at one per case in the first place. Unfortunately scalpers might be the best way to get him for a lot of people just like Netflix Bumblebee. We'll see, but considering how quickly the Legacy beasts are selling out I'm not particularly optimistic, not in my area anyway.

I did stop by a couple Walmarts today, one of them got a case of Scourge and a case of Override, so they are getting case packs of specific figures. Only time will tell if we see cases of Cosmos come in. Also those Legacy Beasts arnt selling out where I'm at.

Scourge is the only leader so he would be a solid case. Are there mixed cases of Override and Hauler?
In my area the Legacy beasts sell out in about a week after stocking, my local Walmart has restocked 2 times from being completely sold out, there's currently just one Nightprowler and one Sandstorm.

Yeah, they don't last long, at least not in my area. This photo was taken on the 19th:
That's the second restock or third case, all that's left is Sandstorm and Nightprowler. I took this picture because it's the first time I've seen a movie figure at Walmart or Target (outside of BB) since wave 14 (the Sideswipe retool wave) last year. I think my area might just be starved for new figures. Target had six Bulkheads on June 27 (took a picture of that, too), but a few weeks later they were down to one.

I only ever saw the Legacy Beasts once and that was about a week ago. Never saw them before then, never saw them again since. I snagged all three when I did see them that one time, and I went to Walmart again tonight and they were nowhere to be found again.
My Walmart just refuses to get rid of all its Skidses, Arcees, and Bulkheads.

Still haven't seen any Velocitron stuff in-store yet myself, the only Legacy my Walmart has had for the past few weeks has been a small slowly-decreasing handful of Beasts and a single Core Skywarp. They are clearance-ing out the remaining Cyberverse stuff and the BW reissues though based on when I was there last night, so hopefully that's to make room for the race.

I asked my sister who is wise to these things and she told me that it doesn't pay to ask one of her friends in the UK to try and grab a Cosmos since with shipping it'll be just as bad as getting it from a US-based reseller.

Okay, so I guess I'm a little confused. Is this the ONLY Override we are getting in Legacy or is there going to be a non-exclusive version that will be distributed to other retail chains?

The Velocitron deluxes were dated to ship 8/1/22 from Hasbro Pulse, and that seems to be happening on schedule. The voyagers and Black Convoy are date for 8/31/22, though, so we’ve got a month to go yet.

The Velocitron deluxes were dated to ship 8/1/22 from Hasbro Pulse, and that seems to be happening on schedule. The voyagers and Black Convoy are date for 8/31/22, though, so we’ve got a month to go yet.

They've already been spotted at brick and mortar, I'd be shocked if we have to wait that long, though I have no idea how the distribution for the different retailers work.

When is Walmart.com supposed to ship? I thought Pulse said September.

Pulse says/said September for Scourge and the Voyagers, but it also always said Deluxes would ship today. No clue on Walmart.com.chuckdawg1999 wrote:When is Walmart.com supposed to ship? I thought Pulse said September.

Surprisingly I'm supposed to get Clampdown tomorrow. Is it using the Siege or Earthrise mold?

I found Hauler at Wal-Mart tonight. There was 1 solid case of 3. I forgot his actual name is "Road Hauler."

Good to know. I also need to learn how to read as Clampdown isn't coming today, the tracking isn't even in the system yet. I should've realized, Hasbro has never moved that fast.

Case breakdown: 2 each of Burn Out, Road Rocket and Blurr. 1 each of Cosmos and Clampdown.

Saw a box of Haulers at Walmart this morning, my first sighting of the Velocitron line. It was at the bottom of a pallet full of boxes, mostly Lego sets, and I wasn't about to find someone to dig through them so I can have my toy. I'll be going back Friday, hopefully they've got one left and the rest are on the shelf.
Man, Walmart said Nemesis Prime was available to pre-order, but every time I added it to my cart it would say sold out in my cart.

Cosmos and Blurr interested me mainly. I actually grabbed all 5, but on the way to the register my financial responsibility sense acted up so I left the others. I was going to use Road Rocket as my G1 Override, but the differences in deco were too great.ZeroWolf wrote:Sounds about right. Did you get any of them?

Have you had much chance to handle Cosmos and Blurr?

Not yet, they're still boxed. I plan on freeing them later today after work. I also got BuzzWorthy Cliff and the creature 4-pack last night (another reason I didn't buy all 5, my budget is getting stretched) and they took priority.ZeroWolf wrote:Have you had much chance to handle Cosmos and Blurr?

Got my deluxes in and I have been messing around with them tonight. Some thoughts.
I think Road Rocket might be my favorite right off the bat. Maybe it's the fact that she has the G2 bot symbol on her, or maybe that she uses my favorite color scheme, but she is really nice. I like the new head, and she looks good. I like this mold, which also helps.
Burnout is probably the 2nd standout. Again, he uses my favorite color scheme, and this is my first time with the mold, and it's pretty solid. I liked the transformation on it, and while the front wheels don't turn very well, alt mode is pretty neat too. He will look great with the Diaclone crew.
Cosmos is next. It is an interesting mold, and I like how odd he is, and that RG1 accurate alt mode. But I will say that the arm tabs are a bit bothersome, takes some force and finesse to get the back tabs in place, and I don't like it that much. But otherwise, he is pretty solid. I adore the flag too.
Blurr comes next. The IDW tooling is welcome and looks really sharp. I wish the arm flaps went somewhere else, and his legs feel a little loose, but he looks good. I hope we get more IDW toolings like this, especially for Rodimus.
Clampdown comes last. He is pretty solid, and I think he will go great with Cordon. He isn't the weakest by being bad, he's just the weakest because of how many times I've seen this mold already, that's all. He's good, just less exciting is all.

Not like the figure has any feminine characteristics anyway.

Yeah, I like Cosmos a lot. He actually surprised me with his complexity for a deluxe, the last few deluxes I've handled have been fairly simple. I like how hefty yet compact he is in UFO mode, and his robot mode is neat. He's definitely worth the money. 1 more for my Cybertron 7 shelf!
