If the past waves are any indication, they should be hitting general European retail in a month or two. I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

Ya. I'm thinking Big Lots and Dollar General for sure.

Cliffjumper = better then the henkei
Ultra Magnus = whatever
Skywarp, after seeing "combiner wars legend or w/e" Thundercracker.. to quote Ricky from trailer park boys "This is ****** man.."
super massive "D'N'B" style edits. The US version of Thundercracker from the second legends starscream, and acidstorm, was so badly painted I wanted to return it, horrible. the original universe legend mold was painted/ colored 1000000000x better..
combiner wars legends if not a unique mold, will be half arsed. (tho black jack, I looked at 8 copies before I found a "good one"..)

I wonder if/when these guys get a European Release will Cliffjumper be Memorial Cliffjumper

Problem is, who could Twinstrike be redecoed into for a full complete Abominus wanna-be

I've thought of this as well. Wings aside Doublecross is almost perfect. For Twinstrike you could always go with RID Bruticus. Sure you're downgrading him from Cerberus to Orthrus, but that didn't stop them from making Strafe.

Cliffjumper's backer card art is interesting, I'm pretty sure it's the first time we've seen it. It's Legends Bumblebee's art made up as CJ, but given painted on windows similar to Cyber Battalion Bee's transformation. What's really bizarre is CJ already has perfectly fine updated art from his Legends figure. All I can think of is that they wanted something a little less current IDW and something more gritty.

I don't know where the Ultra Magnus art comes from, but doesn't it look an awful lot like the art used on Universe packaging? Probably the same artist, but if it isn't new art then I wonder if it was intended for a figure that didn't get produced?

But at a 3rd of the price here (€5-€6 compared to €15-€16), getting Legion instead of Legends is a no-brainer. Besides, we never got Generations here at all.

True, but didn't we already get a RiD Bruticus homage in Lazerback? Guess it's worth repeating

Meh, I'll never see these in store. Especially at that price.

Speaking of prices, in Canada, legion figures went from 5-6$ to 8-9$! That's almost a 50% price ike! That's quite brutal. I love the little guys for my Cyberverse Battles and I used to buy many on impulse. Now, I must be very selective.
Sigh...

Hey kanrabat, where would we see these if they were around? I know we got the RTS ones at mass retail but would tiger giant or rossy be a market for the ones that show up at drugstores in the states? Or would they maybe show up in the bin at the back of l'entrepot de jouet? (speaking of which, have you been there lately. let me know in a PM if thats the case).

There's some odds that l'Entrpôt would have them. It's still pretty random though. I havent checked in a long time.
There is no Giant Tiger at Laval, but there is some at Montreal and they may carry them at some point. It was the only place I could find the repaints of the Cybertron Scout beasts. Winners is also completely random and they might have them too. Finally, forget about Rossy. That shitty place sell toys with a 50% markup from TrU's already high prices!

One thing that piss me off is now that Target is gone, their nice exclusives will only be available via scalpers.

...or friends.

Even if now having to pay for shipping suck, it's nice that you're willing to help out!
And I'm always the kind to return the favor somehow.

Now, to see what nice things Target USA will come up with.

Technically speaking it is, as it is those molds that are being released. Yes they've been repainted to represent other characters, but the molds are whst the are.
