There have been none in stock at any of the Walmart’s near me for a while, nor online. Are you guys expecting more to be released or are they pretty much done? I only have the Netflix Optimus, Megatron & Elita-1, but I’d love to get Soundwave, Bumblebee and a number of others. Just wondering if I should try and find reasonably priced ones on eBay or wait for Wally World to restock.

Thanks!

The Netflix line is set to continue to accompany the release of the third chapter in the Netflix series hope you get the ones you're still looking for!

You might be able to find some first series stragglers (the ones that aren't repainted all too differently from the wfc versions - hound, chromia, redalert) around. Series 2 is current so walmart will probably get some more in (or just try various walmart if possible) with Bee being the one that scalper have jumped on.

Good news is that Takara is also offering them and you might be able to find characters that may have disapeered off shelves at online stores (examples over here in UK is we some places ordered in hotlink for £3 more than retail) so bee or others might end up being a bit easier to get in the long run. Only difference if the figures so far is spoiler ultra magnus is in an open window box so the buyer knows what they are getting.

Awesome, that’s great news! Is there a list somewhere of the characters that have been released in each wave? I’ve been compiling my own list just by reading through the forum, but haven’t been able to determine which were in series 1 vs series 2.

Also just out of curiosity, are most of you all opening boxes and displaying characters unboxed, or keeping them boxed? I generally try to keep my collectibles unopened in their original boxes; but these are just too fun to keep in the box. I’ve been buying two of each so far just so I can have one opened, but my wallet (and wife) probably won’t be compatible with that for too long at my current rate of purchasing!

Wave 1 had a few restocks after the initial release, so I would expect wave 2 to have at least 1 restock between now and whenever wave 3 will be due.

Unboxed or boxed the quintessons (and partners) are going to have the same judgemment either way
For me, I have no space for boxes and the scene from Toy Story of 'you are a childs plaything' is my aproach to opening them.


Wave 1 deluxes

I'd say that the exclusive alternate universe dead/grey Optimus Prime is pretty much Netflix as it doesnt have transformers the movie chest damage.

The other deluxe is Sparkless Rusty Deep Cover (only 4 this time) and the Voyager is Optimus Primal, as evidenced from leaked listings a while back.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about Primal and didn't know it was only four deluxes in wave 3.

It just occurred to me that the Sparkless could make decent Junkion fodder. Wasn't there rumor of a new Wreckgar coming in Studio Series?

Thank you! I had been eyeing some of those wave 2 characters on eBay but will wait and see if they show up at Walmart again.

Could make for a good aligned-styled Axer (Although as the G1 character if he had the Aligned version's story)

Definitely going to have to snag myself some of those Ironhides.

So, this image is making its way around the Internet.

Apparently, there's gonna be a Lucky Draw contest over in Singapore where the prizes are the Netflix toys of Cheetor, "Crystallux", and "Rusticon", the latter two being the translucent purple redeco of Paleotrex and the rusty Sparkless redeco of Barricade.

The original source of the image is unknown, but has made its way onto Facebook, TFW2005, TFormers, and Autobase Aichi so far.

Yeah, the TFW leaker responsible for the recent infodump said it was a fake.

I'm curious how a leaker would know if a promotion run in Singapore is fake or not. It definitely wouldn't be released that way in North America, but that doesn't mean this is fake by default.

Perhaps the leaker knows the real names of the two non-Cheetor figures and so would be able to tell that the promotion is fake by its using fake names for the two.

That makes more sense, the leaker should really just tell us what the real names are if they know them, even something close.

I believe this is the exact quote:

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Sparkless is named as Barricade per the Walmart listings. And the purple Paleotrex is a pack-in with the Spoiler Pack, so it'd be weird for it to also have a single release.

One week later and I was surprised to see 5 of the 7 Netflix Optimus' I saw last week are gone. Absolutely no other TF toys at all besides Cyberverse. Hopefully they are getting ready for a reset. They jus need to clearance that Cyberverse junk out and be done with it, make more room for better product.

Stopped into my Walmart this afternoon for a couple items, went through the toys section and almost the same thing here-- one Red Alert and one Wheeljack. Nothing else but Cyberverse.
Next stopped at Target, saw some TF statues that I've attempted to "news", some Kingdom figures, but again nothing from ER but one of the battle masters. Literally 1.
So about 5 minutes ago I decided to go ahead and order Netflix Prime from Walmart.com. Supposed to show up in 3 days.

One of the "perks" of living in a country (USA) that isn't taking the virus seriously. Things are open when they really shouldn't be.

Yup, the title is not just a bunch of random words strung together even though it may look like it at first. An image has surfaced online regarding a flyer a Sinaporian found in their local Toysrus. It is a flyer regarding a contest where if you spend 100$, you can enter for a chance to win an upcoming exclusive deluxe figure. And those deluxes happen to be part of the upcoming wave 3 of Netflix figures sold at Walmarts in North America. They are the same figure we previously saw but this is the first time we see their official images as well as their names.

We see Netflix Cheetor, the purple Paleotrex which is called Crystallux and the rusty (zombie) Datsun called Rusticon.

That flier's been said to have been a fake by leakers. Which is really believable since... y'know look at it. Crystalex and Rusticon have not existed. We know that Wave 3 is (Sparkless) Barricade, Quint, Cheetor, (Sparkless) Deep Cover. Also, it's not even printed or cut to the margin... this was made in MS Word.

Yeah, uh, scroll up a few posts.
