While a good part of the world has had this toy out for quite a while, Knight Armor Hound was never found in the US, until now. Panda Prime has found this Hound at Walmart. This makes the Knight Armor subline fully out at retail. The only toys from Transformers: The Last Knight line still not found in the US are the wave 3 one steps, wave 3 legions, Cogman and leader Dragon Storm so let us know if you find them.

Can't wait to find Dragonstorm, but I JUST found Scorn and have only found Staffe from wave 3. Not looking great for getting last knight without relying on e-stores:\

Is 2 weeks really the time we now wait to call something a shelfwarmer?

But if no one ducking touched it, it's probably going to shelfwarm.

Ugh...tell us about it pal! coz here in the UK we're still stuck with Wave 1 of the Tiny Turbo Changers! & god knows if or even when we'll see Wave 2(in order to get that Sqweeks figure) now YES!!! places like Ebay ect have SOME of Wave 2(minus Sqweeks...so far!) but I also am waiting for Deluxe Cogman(even though he's on preorder on the Kapow website) but no sign of any bricks & mortar shop distribution of him yet(in the UK)

Well how long should it be, dude? Nobody ever told me how long somethin's gotta sit. Can you throw me a bone here?
After two weeks there's NO other leaders there except Prime, and it's the same one sitting in the same spot at the same funky angle it was when I got Megs. All I'm saying is... they got nothin' else in. I was lucky to get the only Megs that showed up, and I'm not sure they're gonna get any more.

Yeah but the idea of a shelfwarmer is that the toy is still there when the line outstayed its welcome. Thats what makes them so distinctive. In this case you have a movie leader in the shelf space for movie leaders for people to buy while waiting for a restock. Thats just business as usual. You get where I am coming from right?

Yes, any Deluxe Class Transformer from TLK should be about (maybe a little less or more than) $20, depending on exactly where you look. Bumblebee, Berserker, Barricade, those guys. Not that I'd wholeheartedly recommend any of them for that price, you'd be far better off saving a bit more and getting one of the Voyagers from Wave 2 or 3 - they're much better figures by comparison, and far more worth their price-tag, even if that price-tag is a bit higher.Jason5billion wrote:Are there any TLK Transformers with eight steps or more that cost less than $20? I saw a Hot Rod Walmart exclusive for about that much; but he only had about three steps, so that's why I wouldn't pay much for that figure. I did see larger leader Transformers that had plenty of steps, but they're about $50. Now if someone gives me examples of Dinobots, that won't do because I have plenty of beast Transformers now. I know TTC's don't have many steps, but at least they're they're not expensive, and you get a surprise when you see what's inside.
As for shelfwarming, I think a good definite example is the occasional CW Leader Skywarp one may see sitting around. It's obviously a little hazy when exactly a toy becomes a 'shelfwarmer', but personally I feel like it's safe to assume a toy has at least overstayed its welcome when every other figure has turned over a few times and the one in question hasn't (not just the figure type e.g. TLK Leader Optimus Prime, but the exact individual figure hasn't moved while everything else has to a notable degree).

Dude, don't waste your time with TLK if you want some epic transformations. Go hunt the classifieds or even Ebay for some nice ROTF, HFTD, or DOTM goodness. Those deluxes, voyagers, and leaders were EPIC. So much so that with all the complaints parents gave Hasbro, the Transformers have been heavily simplified starting AoE and RiD.

Holy shit... What have I done? I responded to the legendary Jason5billion...

Is Berserker worth buying? I enjoyed Barricade for what he was, and Berserker does look cool. Plus I just adore the Dread designs.

Dunno. Look at video reviews and judge for yourself. I'd wait for a sale but even then, I now limit myself for the TFs I buy. After dumping so many toys to get some sweet, sweet geewun at my local geek store, I came to realise how much crap I bought before just to have something new.
So now I concentrate to only what REALLY matter. Space and money are not infinite and I'm now past buying everything in sight.
Beside, a TR Trypticon will soak most of my TF ressources for this month.

From what I've seen and read, his biggest problems are the panels not being glued in so they fall off during transformation. He still seems better than his twin Crankcase, though that's not saying much.

Berserker has the somewhat sad honor of being the only TLK Deluxe figure that I've purchased, and I'm pretty happy with him honestly. Admittedly, I absolutely coated him in Sharpie which makes him look a fair sight nicer, and I also didn't get him for too much more than "normal" Deluxe price, so that may have colored my opinion somewhat.
It's worth noting however, that despite the other major complaint being that his vehicle mode is a total PiTA to line up all the panels correctly, I haven't had much trouble myself. Sure it would be nice if I didn't have to put any effort at all into making it come together, but I haven't found it nearly as impossible as it's often made out to be. And he looks pretty great once you've got him together, too

I like him way more than barricade, his kibble is folded away very neatly, here is my review:

He looks really good too:

This grouping of figures has been extremely hard to find in stores all across the country, so we wanted to provide a connection to a site where you could pick some up.

TLK drift is in wave 3, which is starting to make its way on Walmart.

Wouldn't it be weird, Soundwave with a samurai chest?

I can glue the alt mode front since the faux chest doesn't fit the DOTM asthetic, also some epoxy clay could work make some new details.

Oh so it's more like a structural issue. Nice.
I do hope your custom will still transform.
Also, a challenge out of the left field. Why not make that Soundwave AoE/TLK style? And plot twist, no mouthplate and he have LIPS! Gasp!

But Movie Soundwave never had a mouthplate. Still, the AOE/TLK style design could work for him, maybe a Doctor Claw homage could work.

Many characters had a radical design change for the "Knight Trilogy". Just look at Barricade. So a "knight" Soundwave may also be very interesting... Especially with a face reveal!

So here's Emgo's review of deluxe Cogman.
Personally, I'd buy it twice. One to keep sealed and the other for play. The open one, I'll "finish" painting it.

To be fair, the choices boil down to "gorilla arms" or "giant gaping wrist-holes". The reason I haven't voiced much on Leader Megs is simply 'cause I don't own him, nor do I plan to - I'm extremely happy with the Voyager I have, and having seen the Leader once in person (at a Toys R Us), I just couldn't work myself up to paying Leader price for another TLK Megatron when the one I've got is all I could ever want .
