These are Legends toys...they're not going to sell out (maybe ever) and the only accessory they come with is disappointment.

HAHA, now thats funny! These legend class figures and Shockwave (maybe Sentinel) are the only figures I'm getting out of this line. I just cannot get any repeated characters. Plus, I ordered all the RTS and Gen. stuff. The only thing I'm waiting on to come in is Grapple, Windcharger, and Warpath.

Same thing here. I'm sticking with the Cyberverse stuff for the low price point and because I don't need any more larger versions of the same characters. My movie shelf is packed, but at least with the Cyberverse stuff I can fit a lot on a new shelf without giving up one of my larger shelves.

Went back to my Walmart today and picked up a handful of the ones they had. Forgot that they also had the white and blue Barricade in this wave as well.

Quick note on the figures, Bumblebee is a brand new mold. I looked at the legends class versions of him here on Seibertron and while he shares some similarities and unless there is a legends version I've not seen, he is different. First off, he has flip down feet instead of just being molded into the back of the car. Also, where the ROTF's legend bumblebee's wheels were at his hands, these are on his shoulders. On the inside of the right panel that forms his arm is molded is hand cannon (even legends class BB can't have 2 hands anymore) while the other has a mounded hand. The chest it molded with he updated that his onscreen character has received, he also sports the spoiler in the back.

Barricade is a slight remould of the '07 legends figure where instead of having 2 juicers for hands, his right hand has been molded as an open claw. Other wise, aside from being white and blue, he is the same mold.

Skidz is just a repaint of the ROTF version.

There there is Topspin and Crankcase which are both new characters. Neither is really that bad.

I can't tell you if Sideswipe was a new mold, just a retool, or what as he was gone. Guess I should have picked him up last night instead of Topspin (or someone saw this and went toy hunting ). But, now my Walmart has 4 BB's, a Skidz and I think a Barricade.

The DOTM Packaging is nice though. You can open the figure up and take him out of the shell while 100% preserving the package. Attached a picture to show it off. Hope the Deluxe figures share the same design. They also come with instruction inserts instead of the instructions just being on the back of the package. I've not bought many legends, so I don't know if they've done that before or not.
