Transformers Legacy Wave 3 Deluxes found at Canadian Toysrus Stores

I just got Skullgrin yesterday. Thank goodness I saved his instructions because his Transformation is NOT innately intuitive and it should be, considering it’s a lay him down box. It’s a nice boy mode though

Make sure you fold down the spikes on the back of the head, it's NOT shown in the instructions.

But did he misspell bot mode, or imply this Skullgrin has the youthful appearance of Cubone, mourning his mother?

It was a quickly delivered Pulse order.

I love it here

There's a video review up for needlenose by primevsprime
And I still think the figure is great. I know there are some that aren't a fan of how simple he is but I love both modes and the transformation looks fun. I like the targetmasters too, I prefer the bot mode to be sacrificed for a better gun mode in their case. Chonky guns weren't my cup of tea. Anyways here's the link

Ya'll have issues. I love it.

Can we throw JKeffrey Dahmer in the mix or is it too soon? Did we already jump the shark?

I finally opened Skullgrin
I like him.
His alt mode is cool
His bot mode is menacing
And the fan modes Hell yeah
As a (poor)sentry mode that speeding Autobots can sneak up on


Then BAM!!! He transforms and blasts them!


Or a possible tower on a city bot
I don't have the Black Zarak, but I bet he looks great with it.



That tail piece is key
It's a versatile part for this figure.
Pleasantly surprised by this terrifying monstrous robot

Another one for you guys -

Was Minerva back in stock this afternoon? I spent five minutes trying to check out before it was updated to sold out again. I'll try again at 1 PM ET, I guess.

They are having a problem processing payments. It might go back up at 1.

Yeah hard to find items like Minerva, Crasher and Shadowstrip we're back in stock on Pulse for a few minutes stuck behind a premium membership paywall. At least Walgreens has the listing up for Minerva now, so hopefully soon it will be available on their site.

It's not just the premium membership thing. During Hascon the same thing happened, but I wasb't affected that time.

There was an issue with payment processing. I called. They said that 'no one' could buy Minerva or anything but she went out of stock WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE.

I don't know whether to be offended at Pulse, or pity them right now. I got a jokey " is your WiFi ok" email to come back to my cart and finish my purchase.

Well if they can figure s*#t our and fix their site so I can purchase what I want, then maybe I will...

It's still showing out of stock for me. Or it's sold out again?

Maybe those items really weren't back in stock and weren't supposed to be on the list, but someone messed up and now they have to do damage control

AcademyofDrX wrote:It's still showing out of stock for me. Or it's sold out again?

Nope. It was just out of stock the first time.

They don't 'put up more' for non-Premium members...even if there was an issue affecting untold numbers of customers. But take heart - She's listed on Walgreens, and she was not as of Tuesday. Keep checking there, as she's 18.74 on their website.

Yeah, I haven't had any problems getting Walgreens exclusives for TF or Marvel, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Though Twitter is my primary source for drops and, well, *points at dumpster fire*.

Preternia said he's 'going to post here until they shut it down' so keep using him. He's the man.

Allegedly

I really want to like the new "Pretenders". But Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst not being the same size bothers me. Well, also them not being actual Pretenders too, but I could live with that, they look really sweet though. Just gonna stick with my PotP set. Though I'm still hoping the Diver mould will be realeased somehow. Not holding my breath lol.

PrimevsPrime uploaded a video review for Legacy Evolution deluxe Needlenose. You can see form the images that this is a tall deluxe, almost reaching the height of voyagers, as you can see with the comparisons in the video. He also comes with 2 Targetmasters, Sunbeam and Zigzag, that interact with Needlenose in multiple ways. Those wondering how simple the transformation would be will get their question answered here.

I scored almost all of Wave 3 on the pulse restock today. Inferno was the only one sold out, but the deluxes, Starscream, and megatron were all secured.

I was able to get to checkout with Minerva, almost bought a 2nd, backed out last minute.

As does mine

Am I the only one who thinks that Needlenose mold would make a good Cybertron Thundercracker?

Somebody pointed out that Needlenose has extra plastic on its nosecone and tailfin that match the Triggercon Windsweeper.

Pvp mentioned being curious about needlenose being a potential combiner or something down the line. Maybe if retooled into dreadwind?
It also makes pretty much no sense but it looks like he could make up part of the Armada starsaber. I guess with another deluxe jet bot down the line
But it makes no sense for this character to be part of that, and it'd be a ridiculously huge weapon. So.... just me with a dumb idea lol

I kinda like the Windsweeper idea m'self.

I dont like either of the ideas I had haha those were just thoughts that popped into my head, I don't support them

Windsweeper does sound like a solid idea

I think since made amends to fans with Legacy Menasor over that pile of garbage from CW it only seems fair that they do right and improve Liokaiser. Maybe someday over that unknown horizon.

In other words, you think he's intended as a premold for Hellbat?

And the last few posts suggested Dreadwind and Windsweeper (and no one loves Hasbro's '88 lineup more than myself!), plus Hellbat being a Dassault Rafale opens up the possibilities of Storm Cloud, Skyhopper, MW Tundercracker and Skywarp and BWII Dirge...

Well, in this new mold, Needlenose may finally live up to his function of fashion designer, if that many other 'Cons end up copying his style.

Or did you mean he could become LeoZack, since the torso is the biggest improvement CW LioKaiser begged for? I need to get going on making one out of PotP Starscream, and Jalagar out of...would it make more sense to have a missile-dune-buggy that turns into a big gun than one that tacks onto LioKaiser's butt?

Regardless, given his height for a deluxe, couldn't they have kept him a tad shorter and used the extra plastic to improve ZigZag and Sunbeam within budget? Oh well, he scales great with Spinister, and I can't pass up any '88 update.

Wave 3 sightings but my stores only have the wave 1 Core and Deluxe figures, wave 2 voyager, some Galvatrons, and the respective store exclusives. Studio Series is a little better but that's its own topic. I wound up buying everything online. I'm not entirely sure where the blame lies but I'm getting flashbacks to Earthrise where something similar happened. If history fully repeats itself, a deluxe Legacy assortment will show up at Aldi with no announcement for the holiday season.

So while wave 3 is just starting to make it's way into some areas. I guess I won't be seeing them at Any of my local stores any time soon

Yeah, my Target has had the same single Elita on the peg for at least a month now. As well as 4-5 Red Cogs and Galvatrons. But between Pulse and Amazon I got all the figures I needed so I'm giving up brick and mortar stores for a while, especially over the holidays.

Actually a little more complicated of a transformation than we thought. Looking forward to getting our hands on him

Surprisingly with all the stackable coupons, all the Red Cogs sold at my Targets, but still plenty of old Buzzworthy Terrorsaur, Dinobot, and Kup clogging shelves, and yes Galvatron and Coronation SS ( which is why I have yet to still see Sludge). For some odd reason I was able to sneak in an order on Amazon for Dead End a couple of days ago, but it's always my backup just in case I see it at B&M first, but as you say, I doubt that will be the case.

Could it be that due her color scheme some people are mistaking her for just another Arcee release? lol
I mean we've had a very heavy dose of Arcee lately one right after another while she was still hanging around.

I've yet to see even a single Elita release at any of my stores. It's still nothing but Wave 1 Deluxes over here.

Also the same at my Wal-mart; Full shelves, but full of wave 1 and every Velocitron figure except Cosmos and Hauler. SS Core class Ravage and Shockwave as well.

The above pics I posted were from Target. I've not heard reports of any Walmarts in the United States with Deluxe Legacy Wave 2. It's almost like they opted for Velocitron instead of standard Deluxe wave 2. Also, while Targets do have them, they are reduced to one peg instead of 2 ( can't even get a full case out) because Buzzworthy is clogging up all the other deluxe space with toy deco Terrorsaur and Kup.

In my area wave 2 and wave 3 were sparsely released, but Wa;marts are clogged with Wave 1, and ARE STILL GETTING WAVE ! in NOVEMBER. That's ridiculous. Even for Walmart.

Elita One at 3:00 AM

I've been checking for Minerva daily on walgreens.com the product page that appeared last week is now gone...
