Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Class Hound Deco Variant Found

And neither are at the UK yet...

That Hound could be a scalper's prime target. I know for myself that I'd take at least one and keep it sealed if I ever find one of those "Red Cross" Hounds in the wild.

Neat. Wouldn't mind Hound.
I finally got sick of waiting for Bee to turn up on shelves and just ordered him for £29.99 which is still silly money for a Deluxe but he's a real nice one and at least it's over and done with now. Or it will be when he arrives and takes his place next to my jazzed up voyager Optimus Prime.

So I asked at my local Walmart if they had any more TLK stuff in the back.

Know what they said?

They haven't ordered anything TLK related since the giant flip and change Hot rod. And they are not ordering any more TLK stuff since stuff stocked in April haven't moved.

So TLK is dead in the only store that sells TFs within 45 minutes of me... and it never went past wave 1.

The distribution of this line is and was absolute crap. The fact that the only thing I saw between 10 different stores TLK related past wave 1 was some wave 2 legions, wave 2 1-steps, Nitro and Scorn twice, and half the TRU exclusives and Walmart exclusives.

And, seeing as many of you had the same experience, I am let down, disappointed, angered, and depressed. This line had so many great figures past wave 1, and most of us had to go online or are still struggling to find things. It is ridiculous.

At the very least, the only guys I have yet to get are new Bee, Cogman, and the legion wave with Hound and dragonstorm.

But still, most of my TLK stuff was either from online or Canada. Cybertron, Prime, Barricade, Berserker, Infernocus, and the wave 2 legions were the only ones I found in store

Agreed. This would be on of the few times that I actually would blame Hasbro for the distribution woes of this line - not because they're in charge of distribution (they're still not ) but because their wave assortments were probably the worst decision made in recent years.

Front-ending the line with a character that had literally 5 seconds of screentime, a repaint of the least-recognisable and arguably worst-looking Dinobot from AoE, yet another Bumblebee who is an objectively-inferior repaint and not even the new mold they made for this movie, and exactly one new mold of a character that had any significant ("significant") presence in the film... yeah, Hasbro really shot themselves in the foot from the get-go this time around. Even the Voyagers are the same trend, albeit to a lesser extent - nobody wanted a boring-colored (if movie-accurate) Grimlock repaint and the Optimus, while an okay decision since Optimus is always a decently safe bet, didn't actually do anything to help since the accompanying Grimlocks still had to move before stores would restock with another (hopefully newer) shipment.

At this point I've all but given up hope of seeing Deluxes past Wave 1 near me - every single store still has a Slash and Berserker or two clogging the pegs - and while I managed to find all Voyager waves by total fluke, it was just the one case of Wave 3 and now we're back to Hounds and Grimlocks everywhere again. I just hope that the lesson Hasbro "learns" from this doesn't end up being "well the Generations-style toys from TLK didn't sell well, so I guess nobody wants them and we should stop making them". Hopefully they get the message as intended - we don't like repaints of stuff we already have, it's not that we don't like good Movie toys. The problem with voting with one's wallet is that wallets are notoriously inarticulate

(On another note, since I picked up the Grimlock repaint on sale a couple weeks ago I now technically have every Voyager released under the TLK line. Maybe I'll do an ultimate-Voyager-comparison post or something when I can be bothered. Spoilers, Grimlock and Prime are at the bottom and everyone else is at the top.)

This is untrue, the bee redeco sold very well compared to his wave mates.

That Bee was ironically a good call. It's the dinobots that shelfwarm the hardest.

I have seen them in asda along with the small die cast cars and figures, and in Fenwick's here in the UK this weekend.

This is officially weirder than #Braingate.

Both are already sold out

The has the same lower legs as Lockdown.
