Good find Stormy! Those little buggers look great. I'm actually really really liking the legends figures for Universe. Even the repaints score high points with me. I think I'll be picking both of those up. I like the packaging, which I'm sure will be raped and murdered by Canadian packaging.

I can't remember, are they exclusives?

The boxes have the target logo. I'm assuming they're Target exclusives.

Nice find. Any word on a release date?

Yeah, the repainted legends do look very nice indeed. I think you are right about the exclusive and have updated the front page. Thanks. :D

I'm ... tempted.

Dammit. Don't wanna buy repaints. :-(

I want that one with ramjet and Thrust. We all know how I just LOVE Seekers.

Hun-Gurrr is cool!

Those paint jobs look nice, but I think the only Universe legends I'll be picking up will be the new molds, especially Hound.

That is one sweet looking gift set. Did I mention that I am a sucker for gift sets?

The only reason i'd get it is to fulfill a Legends Of Cybertron seeker set.
i mean, it has ramjet and thrust.

but tjey have really poor colour schemes (all of them) and just look like knockoffs!

Those are spectacular. I love these little multi-pack releases. They're just going to be a bear to find. Hopefully we'll get DPCI information soon.

I *really* hope these aren't a Black Friday release.

I think they look really cool.
I still want a Legends Leo Prime.

these figures will be repainted and renamed till the end of time.

Posted by Sledge on June 17th, 2008 @ 9:44am CDT

I like the look of both sets, but whether I buy them will depend on how much they cost. I'd be hoping for under £15, given there's probably a couple of molds in each pack I'm not bothered about.


Re: Universe Classics 2.0 Legend 5-Packs (726825)

I am as blind as a bat.. of course, it has target written on it. :shock: #-o

As soon as we find out when these are coming out I will go to every Target in the Silicon Valley until I have them. Color me sucker for repaint store exclusive sets.

Besides, they are legends, it's not like I can't squeeze them in to my shelves somewhere.

I’m going to get somewhat angry if I don’t get a legends Dirge now.

MINE!!! Too bad they don't combine though. Still rather nifty. :D

Hot Zone?
Now there is an interesting twist on a name Hasbro lost the rights to.

Nice looking packs, but I wonder how the molds are holding up, seeing as they have been used a fair number of times over the past 3 years.

Looks like they used the Cybertron spelling "Scattorshot" instead of Generation 1 spelling "Scattershot".

You know there is a fan-combined mode the Cybertron Legends Optimus Prime and Leobreaker. You could do it with Hot Zone and Leo Prime, or Menasor and Razorclaw.

This is going back a long while ago, I believe I posted it but there is a KO Legends combiner. It uses a MicroMaster Core, and a bunch of Vector Primes or whatever his name is now.

Giftsets rock! Do we have any idea how much these will cost in the U.S.?

Wow, I... I want that. That is an awesome amount of fail even for a KO. Anyone know where I can procur one online?

I'm definitely going to have to get these.

Posted by Jaz-Zen on June 17th, 2008 @ 11:05pm CDT

I'm not really into Legend-sized figures in general, but I DO like the paint jobs. It would be cool to see Leader-class Cybertron Optimus, Voyager-class Cybertron Vector Prime, Voyager-class Cybertron Starscream, Voyager-class Cybertron Soundwave, and Ultra-class Cybertron Jetfire repainted like Hot Zone, Scattorshot, Ramjet & Thrust, Skydive and Air Raid, respectively.

Especially when we know that the Voyager-class Cybertron Starscream has already been repainted into Dirge, and Cybertron Evac has been repainted into Blades.

I really would like to see Leader-class Cybertron Optimus & Voyager-class Cybertron Vector Prime get repainted into different characters, since that's never happened (at retail) as far as I can remember, and I would personally prefer to have Cybertron Soundwave repainted into Skydive instead of Blaster.

Of course, Hasbro and TakaraTomy love to make repaints just as much as some of us love to buy them, so I actually would bet that we'll see these characters as "full size" repaints, just like Blades. :grin: :lol:

I'll probably get them if they're not too much. Hopefully we'll get the rest of the Seekers. I like that Legends mold and would mind owning a bunch of them the same color.

I guess so. I didn't check the names.
