Its fine, Bee and Optimus dont have those either. So its all equal footing.

They also had the Tiny Turbo Changers. Forgot to check the price, though.
Could you tell us if these are allowed to be sold. Thats the big news we are looking for right now. And that goes for anyone finding these in the wild. Since everything from the launch has now been spotted in the US, we now need to know if it can actually be purchased. So if anyone finds these again, please let us know so we can properly report the news

Which Hasbro is showing 0 signs of attending. Plus its in July, 3 months after the movie toys are released. I am pretty sure we wont get the first full image of Nitro in both modes at an event.

Allowed to be sold? What do you mean? I found them on the shelves, marked and everything. I could go back tomorrow and try to buy one, if that would help.

Sometimes toys on the shelf before their street dates won't ring up.
That would be awesome if you can.

Yeah, they are marked with price tags but no one has been able to actually purchase them so far. When I went, the cash froze up and they had to call a manager who had to take the toy away, and put a key in the cash for me to proceed with my other purchases. They were then removed from the shelves until they are allowed to be up.
But we dont know if thats the case for all TLK toys. Like thoe tiny turbo changers, it would be really fun to know if they can actually be bought. Because the whole idea of newsing something is to help out the community and while spotting new toys is still news, it only really helps anyone if they can be purchased. So let us know when you go back and we can update the story

Plus Barricade appeared in the background in the IDW comics so that to me makes him G1.
I'll definitely pick him up.

i am just curious here, since when is IDW G1? sure, it uses some G1 characters in new scenarios but so do the movies, animated and Prime. I never saw why that would make it G1 over any other reinterpretation, let me know your thoughts when you have a sec.

Because it was officially stated as such. While it may have moved towards bringing in many other continuities as a reference point with the G1 characters and ideas being a basis, it was very clear from the beginning that they were directly using G1 designs and primary inspiration. I really don't see how you can look at Infiltration Prowl and Animated Prowl and just figure they're doing the same thing.
Regardless, I highly doubt this is a conversation to have here and Windsweeper was simply stating their own headcanon and/or preferences. This is a thread about TLK toys. I'm sure whether or now IDW is G1 is an interesting subject (in my opinion it originally very clearly was but has gradually moved away from that), but let's give it its own separate topic or at least keep it to the IDW threads.

I don't see why not, as AoE had them, and quite a few.

That's just... I dunno what that is. They could have used a previous movie Bee mask in a revised colouring style and that would have been lazy but actually looked like the character but this is just ridiculously poor. Now there may be some kids who can't tell the difference between RiD and movie Bumblebee's head designs but this is insulting the intelligence of those who can.

I think that figure sucks huge balls. I got it today and will do a pictorial review (which will also include your video )
So people will have two very different opinions.

The Wave 1 Transformers: The Last Knight toys available for purchase were:
Knight Armor Turbo Changers
Tiny Turbo Changers
Deluxes at $30
Voyagers at $40
Legions
One Steps
The line has yet to appear at Walmart in the US and will only be available at Toysrus on the 24th. However, for Americans who want these toys before others, Think Geek has made them available for purchase. Scottimus has taken images of this which you can see below. And remember, if you find any toys from this line, please let the community know by either making a post in the sightings forum or, even easier, just jot it down in our sightings section.

Enjoy!
Here is what Pascal had to say about these:
The legs on Bumblebee are really annoying, they want to move up (due to transformation), same with the toes (they're spring-loaded and fold up in car mode). Very unstable. Prime is cool though.

This is how they were when I found them, I was incredibly excited. Barricade can be seen hidden in the back a bit there, I was worried he wouldn't be at first. He was the one I was most excited for. Cracked him open today, he's good! I cannot wait for a good reprolabels set to go on him, and I kinda want to swap out his legs for some reason. I tried my CW Nosecone's legs, and I think they looked really good besides the color difference! Wondering what I could do (if anybody has any ideas on what might look good, let me know! I hope to find something in black because I think that would match the figure color better than any other blue I could possibly find).
These are the legends, but I had absolutely no interest in them.
At checkout, the cashier had to get a bit of assistance from somebody else because it seemed the figures were not to be sold yet. Luckily, though, I was able to get them with no trouble.
This was my final selection lined up. They look good. Grimlock actually has some really nice painted detail, in my opinion, such as on his foot and knees where they don't just make it all one color but break things up with different shades of silver and gray. Perhaps it's not much all things considered, but paint can be scarce on figures these days so it's good to know that not all figures suffer from the lack of it. The dino eyes being red and robo eyes being blue puts me off a bit, but other than that I really like him. Berserker is nice, had a lot of fun with him, though the head seems to pop off a bit easily. Doesn't matter too much, it's a simple enough fix. I already expressed my thoughts on Barricade, (again, anybody with leg ideas let me know!). Slash is the most underwhelming for me, but that's not because he's bad or anything. I like his colors more than the original, but that's about it. He's fine though, just doesn't stand out to me from the rest.
This... kinda made my day. I thought of the possibility of TLK toys popping up in Toys R Us when I checked it out, but I didn't expect it would actually happen. Today was a good day.

I will start by being very blunt: I think this figure sucks. If this is the best this line has to offer with its deluxes, which is what I am hearing from other reviewers, then we are in for a rough ride. Simply said, he is a basic and lazy shell-former. The transformation is nothing new, it's very similar to deluxe Drift from Age of Extinction but without any ingenuity that figure had like the folding doors to reveal new robot detail.
Instead we just get a plain figure where kibble just hangs out. He is far from being as sleek as any character model has shown us and in fact looks nothing like his character model.
I was going to say maybe the head looks similar but they do something super odd where the head is made of two pieces and the piece in the back is a dull beige plastic. I have no clue why they couldn't use the same plastic colour as the front of the head. It looks odd and cheap.
A lot of the problems stem from the simplicity of the figure which results in a terrible looking back, which totally invades the front. There is almost no transformation or deco to the legs, which have the outline of the wheels showing in robot mode, making it look like he has super weird calves.
The backpack is as bad as it gets with shell-formers, taking up the height of the figure, basically, but what bothers me is that it doesn't peg into anything at the top.
Another thing, this figure is puny. Here he is next to Kup.
That Kup cost me $15 USD while Baricade cost me $22 USD (current MSRP for both lines in Canada). This figure just makes me appreciate my Kup even more now.
I do like his knuckles though.
The weapons are ok and I do like that they can be stored in alt mode.
Another thing to note, this toy is not based on any specific car since there is no licensing. Here is a shot of the back of the box where you can see the amount of steps it should take.
So that was my opinion with the photos showing you what I am talking about. Chuckdawg had a very different opinion and here it is below!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:While Barricade's transformation is not perfect, it's not as fiddly as it could be. The best part is the wide assortment of accessories, I especially like the Autobot beating stick. If you're going to buy one figure from the first wave of The Last Knight Deluxe Class, make it Barricade.

As for the rest, I'll wait for the usual sale. Even if that "sale" will just bring back the prices at normal levels.
Still, that new Hound is mighty tempting too...
So far however, none of the deluxes interest me.

Ok so then it doesnt matter if your walmart will have those figures tomorrow or not then.
The voyagers you want are only coming in like 2 months.

Well, thanks, you saved me a trip.
Optimus Prime seem like a fantastic mold, but I have enough of him already and I'll eather wait for it to be 20$, or if some super special repaint ever come out. Based on Evasion Prime, this is very likely.

I even followed the URL and only got an error message. I suggest hosting your pictures on Imgur or another site if they're too big to upload straight to Seibertron.

I'd quite like to get painting some lil details on this Barricade but yes some of the car kibble could have been made to fold up more to improve it but I still like the look of it. I'd paint the back of his head like I do with some of my figures anyways to block the lightpiping they have (I hate lightpiping, just paint the damn eyes the colour they're supposed to be!)
Posted by william-james88 on April 19th, 2017 @ 6:29am CDT
And his car mode is also made up. There is no license.
