Transformers Legacy Minerva found at Walgreens

Posted by william-james88 Dec 22, 2022 at 8:52am CST 42,383 views
It's a Christmas miracle!!!!!!!! While we are very adamant about not checking desperately at Walgreens for transformers exclusives until they have been reported, we are happy to now report that Minerva was found there. Specifically at a California location. We knew this toy was in the US for a long while but Walgreens always puts up their toys later, with this year really pushing it far into the holiday season. But it's been found, that's what matters. So maybe checking your nearby Walgreens might not be a wasted trip anymore. The image of proof of purchase comes from Zombie F Body who posted their find on the TFW2005 board.

Here is a review of the toy if ever you want to see it more in depth.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I hate Walgreens. Every single Walgreen in my area is out of the way of anywhere I go to and then when I go to one, they have nothing.

Sorry to be skeptical, but without a name of the item on the receipt (only a random number), how do we know that it just wasn't just *any* Gen Deluxe purchased at Walgreens? The item has been removed from their website, so it cant exactly be cross-referenced.

A picture of the item (or multiples if there were) on the store shelf would have been more convincing.

*edit*

was provided this from another fan, to appreciatively confirm it was a valid sighting

Transforming it for these pictures was unpleasant. I'm glad the Legacy figure can address the shortcomings and be such a great toy.

I will say they look good together though.

Maybe tomorrow I'll compare Legacy Megs to my POTP Optimal Optimus. Now if I can just track down a Transmetal 1 Megatron again I'll have the complete set of Beast Wars leaders.



Does anyone think Megatron had any issues going from being a lefty to a righty when his hands switched sides?

Fortunately he went through a phase where he had TWO free hands in the middle so he had a chance to get used to having a right hand before he lost his left.

And he'd already had two free hands in his original body before he scanned he T-Rex one, so maybe he was always ambidextrous.

They're robots, right? He probably just went "COMPUTER! Make me right handed, my pet has changed hands" or something.

Went to 3 Walgreens that form a triangle around my home:

Store 1: Nothing
Store 2: Had a whole bunch of Kingdom Red Alert (probably at least 8 ), and 1 each of Scorponok, Wheeljack, and Wingfinger
Store 3: Nothing

Well at least now I can say I've actually seen Red Alert at retail :lol: :roll: . I'll probably check out a couple more stores that are a bit further tomorrow afternoon, but seems likely I'll find Minerva in store this time next year.

Also, all those deluxes were at the 25% off sale price of $18.74 (or whatever it is). To put things in perspective, Back in 2016, I went into a Walgreens for the first time looking for Transformers after the TR Brainstorm sightings started. At the time I passed because I thought $18 was way too much for a deluxe. Man times have changed.

No tangible leaks of Animated Ratchet thus far, but at the most recent SDCC one of the designers was asked about Animated figures and namedropped Prime, Ratchet, and Lockdown as the Animated designs he most wanted to tackle...and since then we've seen a leaked store listing for Prime and an art rendition of a Junkion with a suspiciously Lockdown-looking alt mode....

Y'know, now that I think about it, if we are getting Lockdown and/or Ratchet, then a mold of the EMP generator will be made that both of them and Prowl can all actually use for the first time, hooray for standardized 5 mm ports.


Thank you for giving me some info on Animated Ratchet. I was beginning to wonder if I would get an answer. I remember seeing that Junkion and first thing I thought of was Lockdown.

Dammit. I already have siege Magnus with dna upgrade but if that commander Magnus is good I'll have to get it!!! :( lol

I skipped 86 grimlock because I have MP but SG version would be cool if it's anything like the customs and digibashes I've seen. Probably gonna cost an arm and a leg though

Funny thing, I almost forgot I reviewed Minerva.

Magnus is just a rumor, but who else could be commander-sized in SS86? A proper Astrotrain maybe?

I'm definitely intrigued by the Nemesis, hopefully they will give him an intimidating, menacing robot mode.

Word on the street is that the Nemesis is a her.

I'm more interested in those collab and select listing like the $299.99 one. I know there's been rumours of the guardian robot coming from Siege Omega but could they be adding anything else?

Hasbro whiffed their opportunity to give the Ark the head of Auntie, which makes more sense than the Last Autobot if you've read the earliest UK comics, so maybe the sentient Nemesis will be--

Anti-Auntie?

If the bot mode actually have a feminine appearance and is not just a "her" for clout-points, I'll be all for it.

I'll be able to ship both ships together! :lol:

It wouldnt be for Clout points, regardless, as Nemesis is a female name. And ships tend to be gendered female in English (more a cultural thing than a grammar thing).

It's the guardian robot with nothing more, 299.99 is just how much standard titans cost in Canada now (just like how deluxes were 29.99 when they were 19.99 in the US)

I was so busy reading the codes I didn't read william-james' explanation above that. Silly me.
