Transformers Legacy Evolution Wave 2 Deluxe Found at Gamestop in US

They're coming! My Shrapnel shipped from Amazon last night and should be here today.

That's a neat 2-pack and I'd be keen on getting Ariel, but like others have pointed out just not a fan of that Kup mold enough to sell me on it completely.

I only have 2 Amazon pre-orders at the moment:

Crashbar (still shows a release date of May 1st ) and Core Grimlock (June 1st). It would be nice though, for once, to have these items in-hand before the next wave goes up for pre-order.

I still have yet to see studio series Ironhide or transmetal 2 megs at retail. People finding new transformers are sure lucky!

Nacelle may be cool since I never got Thrust and may never either. Although I am still waiting on news of a G2 Starscream. That is my only real seeker want after getting a Sandstorm.

TMII Megatron, nope, I doubt I'll see that any time soon. SS86 Ironhide though....That and AoE Galvatron are at every Target in my neck of the woods at least, theyve even gone on sale a couple of times.

I only saw Ironhide for the first time today at Target, they're still shipping. Haven't seen TM2 Megs in stores, but they restocked on Pulse so I grabbed one there.

I hope that leaked VNR Optimus isn't some limited exclusive. I'd love to pick him up to go with Legacy Arcee and Knock Out to serve as "Prime Universe Optimus Prime".

And speaking of Primes, it seems like (at least according to Entertainment Earth) we'll be getting Armada Prime officially revealed April 18th

It's exclusive but shouldn't be limited. I don't think we've had anything labelled as limited in a long time.

I have not seen any Legacy cores past wave 1.

Who'd left who hasn't got a modern toy? A-3, Steeljaw, and Sea Spray's girlfriend right?

Alpha Trion has 2 toys from the last 10 years.

Nice, hope he ends up matching the Botcon one, that was a more unique seeker

Not old man Alpha Trion, his younger self, A3.

I'm mostly worried that it's an SDCC or Fan Fest exclusive like Dion and Erial are rumored to be. Though, they do seem to have gone the route of making enough so the stock lasts a while if Orion and Alpha Trion are any indication

Ravage and the Alpha Trion/Orion were readily available well after their respective conventions, I think this set will be the same. If I wanted, I could have bought both during big Hasbro Pulse sales too, but I already had Ravage and did not want Trion/Pax

Ehhhhh, kinda? But made to order is a whole different matter. I would consider them different than a limited release.

I mean, they're still one-time-only releases given only to those who were able to contribute to their single production run in a single period of time, and everyone else who, for whatever reason, failed to make that very specific deadline are SOL, needing to resort to the higher secondary market prices in hopes that enough flippers contributed to the production run to have enough left over for those who missed out to still get a more expensive one.

Yeah, but by the nature of how they're produced crowdfunded figures are unlimited. They'll make as many as there are orders and nearly everyone in the world can take part, the only limit is time. They don't become limited to a specific number until the campaign is over, but the same can be said for any figure that's out of production.

I really hope we get Nacelle in the Thrust mold and not the Tetra Jet mold. I would have picked up Red Wing had it not been for that mold.

I'm hoping Nacelle ends up having the dark navy blue and dark gray I saw in a specific google image result. I would even like it if the red stripe on the wings was more of a maroon/auburn.
Regular red, white and blue will look too basic, elementary, and "good guy" for me.

Looking forward to Shrapnel showing up from Amazon this Monday...
Now, black elbows and fists, and the back of the torso being purple and not black are all a little disappointing. Considering the engineering isn't crazy, the parts count can't be that high, Hastak will get another use of the base mold, AND the fact that this figure is this character's first deluxe class update ever... Just seems like Hastak should've taken the extra steps to do this completely right with the correct colors in those places.
And still, I'm really happy with him overall and am excited to finally add this guy to my collection. The bug mode is beautiful.

Here's Nacelle's Seibertron.com toy gallery for a full look at his colors.
