While they were available on the website, it was unsure if the Walmart exclusive 40th anniversary Trasformers G1 Soundwave and Blaster eeissues wouold find their way in stores as well. However, we have several reports of them being found at stores across Canada. The particular images below are from a Quebec Walmart and are courtesy of TF fan Daniel. These reissues go for $66.97. We have a review below of these products, enjoy.
The hotly anticipated leader class Concept Art Megatron from the Studio Series line has been found in Canada. The sightings started in Quebec Walmarts but have spread across the country since. The release date for the US is still March, at the moment. Below you will find comparison shots for scale along with a review that compares this toy with past examples of leader class Transformers to see how the leader class budget is spent on this toy, and for you to see if it is worthwhile or not.
The first wave of 2024 Studio Series core class figures has been popping up in the US starting at the very end of January and we wanted to give you a heads up. This wave includes Mohawk (the only 2024 figure of a character from the Michael Bay movies), Concept Art Rumble (based on concept art for the Bumblebee film's G1 styled sequence), and a repack of 86 Frenzy (Red) which is great news since that figure has been very hard to find for some. The wave has been found at Target.
While it's been a month long trickle, the entire first wave of the Transformers Generations Legacy United line has now been found in the US and is also popping up all across the globe. Below is a quick breakdown of the places the toys have been found (it is not an exhaustive list) followed by review videos for all the new figures.
Core class were found at Target in the US and Walmart in Canada
Deluxes were found at Meijer's and Target in the US and Gamestop in Canada
Big news, the Transformers Legacy United line is being distributed across the globe and starting to appear in stores. This particular sighting is from a Toysrus in Singapore and it's only for the deluxe class figures. This includes Cyberverse Windblade, Rescue Bots Chase, Animated Bumblebee and Magneous, which is part of 2024's Rock Lord type gimmick for the line.
We have videos if you want a better look at the figures coming from Prime vs Prime and Chuckdawg 1999.
The images of the sighting come from Isaac who posted on Facebook.
While fans may not have paid much attention lately, Costco has been keeping the tradition of having big Transformers themed toys available exclusively to them during the holiday season. It's just that the recent offerings were non transforming licensed toys like those big remote control Bumblebee toys from Jada. But this year we get an actual Hasbro release. It is a rerelease of Cyberverse Tropper class Battlecall Optimus Prime in evergreen styled packaging. This toy was found at a Costco in Québec Canada by TF fan Guy.
Christmas shopping season has started at Toysrus. Their stores are stocked to the brim, including the Transformers section. While there is a lot of stock, amount wise, there isn't much variety. It mainly features non Studio Series Rise of the Beasts toys and Cyberverse, which makes sense as they mainly target parents/kids. They also concentrate on their exclusives and their big Transformers deal for the next two weeks combines those two strengths of their: the exclusive mainline Rise of the Beasts 3 pack from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.
Below is how various Toysrus stores look like at the moment. You'll notice that they did get the wave 4 Legacy deluxes, but in a small amount, compared to the rest. They are also up to date on the Cyberverse line, with the latest Arcee/Hashtag finger puppets and the warrior Megatron wave.
In other sightings news, the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line is being found in Canada. Leader Primal and the deluxe wave with Mirage and Nightbird has been found at Gamestop.
The Transformers Frankentron figure is out at Toysrus stores in Singapore. The second Jurassic Park crossover set was also found there, the one with Dilophocon vs JP12. Regarding that set, it was also found in Canada at Toysrus. We have reviews for both of these figures below, enjoy!

We know distribution can be unpredictable, but at least we now see that the US is getting the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line at brick and mortar retail, as well as online. We've had reports that the following have been found in Target stores across the US:
- Deluxe wave including SS-104 ROTB Nightbird and SS-105 ROTB Mirage
- Leader class Studio Series SS-106 ROTB Optimus Primal
- Voyager class Studio Series SS 86-23 Ratchet (who is packed with WFC Optimus Prime)
It was just within the last two weeks that figures from the Velocitron Speedia 500 collection started popping up at American discount retailer Ross stores, including thethe highly elusive Cosmos.
Now Target is sending Buzzworthy Bumblebee figures to Ross, as well. SS86 Cliffjumper, SS86 cartoon deco Kup, and SS B-127 were all found at a Ross store in West Bountiful, Utah.
And if that wasn't enough, Seibertronian Casey280 found Shattered Glass Slicer and Exo-Suit, a Hasbro Pulse exclusive, at a Ross in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center in Novato, California. Photo proof is provided below.
