ONE Hauler and TWO Overrides per cases. Yet there is no Override preorders on Walmart.ca.

A) Due to being a Union Controlled city, NYC does NOT allow Walmart to do business. If it did I'd be far happier and poorer.
B) Back in the day I used to do a lot of business with Robot Kingdom but I discovered their prices were comparable to BBTS and 2-day Fed Ex shipping. Since there are still shipping issues from overseas it really doesn't pay. Also, between Walmart.com and Pulse I got everyone else.

You can still
A) find him in stores
B) cancel your pre-orders and just buy a case from Robot Kingdom (that's what a friend of mine did)

Same here, because I too already have Beachcomber and Seaspray. And I'm torn on getting Powerglide or waiting for an update.
Then I jut have to wait for a proper G1 Hound and I should be good.

We are providing an update to our original article, found below. After we posted it, TF fan Josh reported to us on Facebook that both the leader class and voyager class Velocitron toys were also found in Georgia. It is his image that you see in the thumbnail. This means that the entire line has been found in the US. Walmart is currently in the middle of a back to school reset (as is Target) so while many stores may have them, they may not have the time to put them up yet or are waiting for the proper time coinciding with their reset plans.
The hunt is ON! For anyone in the US who was not able to preorder a Cosmos, he has been found at a US Walmart. The Valley View Walmart in Virginia to be exact. Below is an image of the case Wreckgar39 found, confirming the case contents. They also found leader class Scourge and both sighitngs were posted on the TFW2005 boards.
In Canada, the voyagers were found. It was said that the case content was 2 Overrides and 1 Hauler. The voyagers were found in Ontario by a few Canadians and the specific sighting in the picture below was poste by Renegade Decepticon.

I like how classics hound looks, and he has ankle tilt. I also have a POTP Neachcomber in hand, and I'll never replace him. (Probably not even if the slider breaks)

A normal retail toy that will be available like the plague sooner or later like Origin Bee...
Scalpers can shove it where the sun don't shine.

I don't understand why try scalp something like that. I know it's a Walmart exclusive in the states but at least in the UK and, I'm guessing a good portion of Europe, there's a number of retailers who will be carrying them. Smyths have got them now (we've already had restocks of Override and Hauler) and IndemandToys have said they'll have them if they haven't already.
I expect there's going to be quite a decent amount of stock if they're able to get them to a number of UK retailers and the JP releases will likely be like the Netflix stuff which ended up showing on a lot of JP goods stores online.
He may be a challenge to get now, especially from what I hear about Walmarts seemingly poor store distribution but give it a bit and he should be relatively easy to get, surely?
But I guess scalpers are going to scalp and try take advantage of new product just to get that early profit before it becomes easy to get.
Also, while it'll probably come out as a slight repaint or with different accessories in a multipack, I doubt they're going to lock Cosmos behind that exclusive line for good. A lot of people have waited a while for a good new Cosmos it'd make no sense (plus gotta get that mold usage up to make up for the cost of a new mold being made in the first place)

I've learned to be patient. Most things end up in my area at one point or another. Been hunting today but nothing yet. I'm thinking by the first week of the month I should start seeing new stuff like this.

Legacy took forever to finally get to my Walmart, I'm used to distribution b÷ingredients slow. (But hey I live in ths U.S. so like?)

Possibly, but in this case it's nothing like Origin Bee where it's very niche and only seen in one Episode while Cosmos was in several episodes. So I'm not expecting to be quite as abundant as Bee was towards the end, though I do hope I'm able to find it easier than it is to get a Walgreens Exclusive!
The fortunate aspect of Cosmos is that there shouldn't be any vehicle licensing to worry about so the odds of him being reissued are good.

I wouldn't compare this to Origin Bee. For a lot of us Walmart didn't restock the Netflix lines after the initial stock so if you missed the popular figures you never saw them. Then there was all the Walmart.com cancelations that just compounded the issue. Smyth's might be getting full cases of Cosmos but it's unlikely Walmart will since they're the ones that wanted him at one per case in the first place. Unfortunately scalpers might be the best way to get him for a lot of people just like Netflix Bumblebee. We'll see, but considering how quickly the Legacy beasts are selling out I'm not particularly optimistic, not in my area anyway.

I did stop by a couple Walmarts today, one of them got a case of Scourge and a case of Override, so they are getting case packs of specific figures. Only time will tell if we see cases of Cosmos come in. Also those Legacy Beasts arnt selling out where I'm at.

Scourge is the only leader so he would be a solid case. Are there mixed cases of Override and Hauler?
In my area the Legacy beasts sell out in about a week after stocking, my local Walmart has restocked 2 times from being completely sold out, there's currently just one Nightprowler and one Sandstorm.

not sure if there are mixed cases for the voyagers, but I did get a look at the shipping box for the Override case and it does specifically say Voyager Override on it

Yeah, they don't last long, at least not in my area. This photo was taken on the 19th:
That's the second restock or third case, all that's left is Sandstorm and Nightprowler. I took this picture because it's the first time I've seen a movie figure at Walmart or Target (outside of BB) since wave 14 (the Sideswipe retool wave) last year. I think my area might just be starved for new figures. Target had six Bulkheads on June 27 (took a picture of that, too), but a few weeks later they were down to one.
