Unfortunately, Legends is over. Big Powered was the finale of the line.
Star Convoy was made with the idea of potentially being released in Legends after Big Powered, but it went to Generations Selects instead, maintaining the original intent of Big Powered being the final Legends release.
Ah, I see. I kinda figured they'd go out with a bang, but it's sad to see them go. Now let's hope Selects can follow up on what Legends was for.
Wasn't legends the way for Takara to release Titans Return toys and a few others for their domestic market? Doesn't seem much of a point for that now that we have brand unification.
Legends was TakaraTomy's answer to Generations T30 and beyond, with parts of CW going to Unite Warriors (Deluxe and Voyager) and Adventure (Legends), plus some exclusives. With Brand Unification starting with PotP, and Selects for exclusives, Legends has been made obsolete on both accounts.
Though, the earliest Thrilling 30 figures Takara released were part of the tail end of the Japanese Generations line (which was Takara's answer to Generations Fall of Cybertron).
Basically...
Hasbro --> TakaraTomyGenerations (pre-FOC) --> United
Reveal the Shield --> United
Generations Fall of Cybertron --> Generations (Japan)
Generations Thrilling 30 --> Generations (Japan) (early waves only)
Generations Thrilling 30 --> Legends (the rest of Thrilling 30)
Generations Combiner Wars --> Unite Warriors (Deluxes and Voyagers only)
Generations Combiner Wars --> Legends (Leader class only)
Generations Combiner Wars --> Adventure (Legends class only)
Four figures of the previous lines not yet released in Japan* --> Adventure
Titans Return --> Legends
Power of the Primes --> Power of the Primes (Japan)
Siege: War for Cybertron Trilogy --> Siege (Japan)
* - Scoop as Roadblock, Sky Shadow as Black Shadow, Cosmos as Adams, and Shrapnel.
