Transformers Legacy Evolution Wave 1 Found in the Philippines

Posted by william-james88 Nov 27, 2022 at 12:17pm CST 45,211 views
We share with you a report of the first wave of Transformers Legacy Evolution deluxe figures found in the Philippines. These were found at a Toysrus. The wave includes Needlenose, Breakdown, Hotshot and Scraphook. The sighting comes from the Cybertron Philippines Facebook page. This is good news, it means these toys are ready for international distribution so they could make it to the west sooner rather than later.

So that means Canada should be getting them shortly, correct?

...and wave 3 has yet to show up in my area. :BANG_HEAD: . Additionally I am curious. Because starting with PotP Hasbro changed their strategy with Transformers to refresh the brand every year to avoid retailers not stocking waves beyond 4 or so. (Although this hasn't effected SS for some reason). But while the line did change slightly from Legacy to "Legacy Evolution", I wonder if the UPC's changed such that retailers like Target abd Walmart will still want to stock them, perceiving them as "new"?

I don't call ONE of each remaining on the pegs "peg-warmers".
Those pegs looks pretty bare and cold.
I wasn't referring to quantity, more like the figures themselves. Where I live the situation is mostly the same, only Arcee and Elita on the shelves, along with Bulkheads and Bee Soundwaves.


It still doesn't count which characters it is. If the shelves barely have anything, we just can't call them "pegwarmers."
If the same damn figure(s) stay(s) on the shelves/pegs for weeks or months, I'm calling it a warmer, whether there's 1 or 10. [-(


Me:
*glances at one of my local meijer that still has Absorbing man wave Marvel Legends from literally 5 years ago on the rack*


You could flip that venom online and make a nice sum


An excellent point but alas its all Speed Demon And Lady Beetle :lol:
And i realize this is old news by now, but i picked up Core Shockwave out of my box again today and was remind what an absolute delight he is. Similar to the ol Combinar Wars one, special in the legs, but truer to the Siege Voyager just teeny

Odds are no. Canada doesn't get stuff first often. That Earthspark stuff was a fluke. Asia usually gets stuff first due to proximity of the manufacturing.

I got Transmetal II Megatron this weekend, and I want to gush about him some, because he is really good. He is by far my favorite Legacy leader so far.

He has a great presence to him to start. When you flush out his wings like they were meant to be out, he takes up so much space and casts a hell of a shadow. And the paint work on his wings is really good. i love the fading effects on them, and the translucent plastic was used great.

I am OK with the face, I know the problems with it, but I am OK with it.

I love the ponytail still being there, even if head articulation is a little hindered by it. But the entire sculpt with the ponytail is really good.

I do wish the arms had a little more beef to them, but considering the original had that look to it, I'm not that bothered.

His components in both modes tab in pretty solid, so you can manipulate him and mess with him a lot without fear of having him come apart.

The transformation is pretty logical, but it is a fun thing to do. I love how the arms work to get his torso solid and dynamic.

His dragon mode, PHEW! I LOVE IT! It has such a great presence to it, even better than robot mode. He can throw some great shapes, and he looks fierce. The flame effect works well in this mode too, I appreciate that accessory.

So yeah, Megatron gets my seal of approval. He is really damn good. I love him.

Also, Armada Starscream is still pretty good.

A surprisingly find today at my local Walmart. Wasn’t sure if I’d see Cosmos again, especially in a store but apparently they had a restock. Ive seen restock on the Voyagers from this line but nothing with any of the deluxes. This is my 2nd time finding him in the store. The first one was for a friend but now i have a copy for myself.

Nice. Hopefully he becomes more widely available after all. I also saw him twice in store, the 1st time I grabbed him for myself and the 2nd time for a fellow collector in my area. He really is a fun mold. I hope Hasbro finds another use for him somehow. SG Cosmos would have been a no-brainer IMO.

I would say the no-brainer use is going to be Pathfinder, along with a green Warpath for Treads. I'm actually suprised Treads hasn't happened yet.

Very cool. Collecting this stuff is best when we all get what we want.

Perhaps a future Buzzworthy release? Though Cosmos would require a new head and I'm not sure what alternate they may have included with the mold if any.

Nice score! I only hope this means more will be circulation other stores, the frustrating thing is Cosmos does not have listing on Walmart to see which store it might be at nor is it recognized on brickseek. Basically flying blind here and every store but one is way too far away to check on a whim.

You might be flying blind no matter what. All the stores by me are swimming in Road Rocket, Blurr or Burn Out. None of them show up as available at any of the stores near me and Walmart's website.

It's very odd. Most of the stores I go to, you can see product movement from week over week, but one particular Walmart I go to hasn't really shown any change. In 3 weeks, even after black Friday. They have the same 6 SSBB Arcees, 6 SSBB Ironhides, 1 Preceptor ( I thought would sell immediately). As well as 6 each of Velocitron Blurr, Road Rocket, and Burnout.

At this point, I honestly think Walmart chose to get the Legacy Beast and Velocitron exclusives in lieu of deluxe wave 2 ( and maybe wave 3). Unless anyone can confirm seeing deluxe wave 2 or 3 at a U.S. Walmart?

@ o.supreme, definitely an interesting thought you have. I can say I haven’t seen any of wave 2 at a Walmart and in my AO, we have 7 within 50 mile radius. Which a couple of those, just don't stock anything new. In addition, the Walmart that is up the road from me, wave 1 has taken up much of the space, plus the ones you mentioned. The only sighting of wave 2 was Elita-1 at a local Target. In fact, while i was near KC, i stopped into a Target there and they had 2 from wave 2. Who knows!

The only thing past wave 1 that I've seen in a US Walmart has just been the wave 2 core assortments and those have just been in the last week or so in the bins of smaller stocking stuffers in the main aisle.

Same here, and only just recently.

I've only seen wave 1 Deluxe at Walmart, wave 1 and 3 Deluxe at Target. What happened to wave 2? Feels too late to blame COVID and logistic issues when most of us saw every figure (or at least one figure from every wave) from WFC at least once in the thick of it.

I've seen Jhiaxus and Blitzwing at Walmart for a couple months now, but not at Target. It's too early to complain about not seeing wave 3 Voyagers or Megatron yet.

I've only seen Core wave 1 in stores, that goes for Studio Series as well.
