I don't think "plastic free" has anything to do with the lack of box sets on Hasbro's side. Rather, this is another one-off for Hasbro's isolated China market.

Youtuber Toys R Russ managed to get an interviews with 2 of the current TF Toy developers. The interview is nearly an hour long, they dont give anything away, but I'd say the last 10 minuets or so are worth a watch; they mention that several exclusives are coming later in the year they are excited about. This makes me glad to know Selects isn't nearing the end of its run, and there is more to come.

I'd say yes. Even if there is no option to purchase directly, its not "unobtainable" if you had the right connections and enough money. How many of us have exclusives from conventions we never attended, or clubs we were never part of .

Needlenose
chuckdawg1999 wrote:The Double Targetmasters hit me deep in the nostalgia feels, they were some of my favorite later G1 figures and I dug the gimmick. Needlenose is much better than I think anyone thought it would be. Articulation is spot on, even includes swiveling wrists. Articulation is so good you can even pull off some good sniper poses. Transformation is smooth and intuitive resulting in a great jet mode. This should be the first purchase from the wave.
Hot Shot
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Armada Hot Shot is the figure we should've gotten with the Universe release some years ago. It remains faithful to the classic design while updating the articulation and giving the overall look a modern spin. I am disappointed that Jolt, Hot Shot's Minicon, wasn't included as I feel that's part of the overall package. While maybe not the first deluxe from the wave that you should purchase, it should be close to the top.

In the interview Toys R Russ had a few days ago with members of the design team they mentioned a TF Fan Tuesday (or Friday?) event will be coming "soon". I imagine there will be more RotB Reveals as well as Legacy Evolution Wave 2 (Or Legacy Wave 5 if you prefer).
As far as we know, it will probably have 2 more Core Class Dinobots, & Thundercracker

I am waiting to see if amazon drops the core prices to grab those 3, they have done it fairly consistently.
I'll get the rest soon enough, wave 1 of 2023 should be plentiful at some point.

They're going to trickle out the rest of the Dinobots now?

This is exactly why the only two Evolution figures I've pre-ordered/ordered day before Amazon started shipping, are the Dinobots. Would it be neat to grab Hot Shot or Lio Convoy now? Yeah, but based on the amount of Kickbacks, Drag Strips, and Bulkheads I can see running to Target, I have plenty of time. But a combiner, especially Dinobot combiner, I feel like isn't gonna last long around me, so I might as well pick them up as I see them, instead of trying to find one of them on the aftermarket. Made that mistake with SS AOE Grimlock, and almost made that mistake with both SS86 Grimlock and Slug.
Well, that and I've stopped pre-ordering TFs in general when they're months out and suddenly they've been moved forward to tomorrow. Seriously, I get that the supply chain's messed up, but it's be nice if they would stick with the original ship date, or give you a Pile of Loot system like BBTS has

I'm trying to give up preorders unless it is something that will for sure be hard to get otherwise.
Do I want them? Yes. do I really want to rush right now? Not really? I'd also like to space them out, I feel like some bots last year did not get the love they deserved because I got a bunch all at once.
Plus, they aren't in stores near here yet. So I know that I will have time. I want those Dinobots too, but I think there will be plenty to find, at least of this wave. I will get more impatient once we get to 5 and 6.

The only wave 4 item I'm taking a chance on is Lio Convoy. I hope to see it at retail, but if not, so be it.

I think all of the Commander Class figures have had restocks? I don't know if it's guaranteed that it'll happen, but I don't think all of those are already out in the world.
Personally, if I want it and there's a preorder, that's what I do. If I'm on the fence and don't need it, I'll wait for a sale to decide. Pandemic shipping and retail availability were a nightmare and I'm not going back even if things never get that bad again.

Legacy Evolution is still the same line as regular Legacy, right? If so, I dread seeing Wave 1 and nothing else for months to come...

Jetfire and Skylynx I think have been reissued 2 times because of their immense popularity (probably far fewer were made than Hasbro/TT anticipated interest in), however I think they anticipated the same with Kingdom Rodimus and in an attempt to course correct produced far more. Despite me never seeing it at B&M, Rodimus was on sale for up to 60% off online at some points during the holiday season. I just checked, and at the time of this writing, Rodimus is Normal CC price on Amazon some 18 months after his initial release, but even jut a couple of days ago, I saw him on sale for 15% off.
With Motor Master who can say, if enough people complain about having incomplete Menasor's they might do a reissue.

Unfortunately there is no clear answer on that. If L:E SKU's the same as L, then yes, it's likely retailers wont carry it. But that was the whole reason Hasbro switched to packaging refresh every year starting with PotP. I mean we could argue that "Prime Wars" and "WFC" were 3 year lines (Well Prime Wars was technically 4 but...), with new packaging each year so that retailers would keep ordering.
Legacy Evolution does have new packaging art, but if it SKU's the same as Legacy, then Hasbro kind of undid what they attempted to fix back in 2018.

Did the fix work? If we compare it to Studio Series, for instance, which doesn't have a line refresh, did we see more yearly refreshes of Generations toys or Studio Series toys? The first wave of the various generations lines have been well stocked but beyond that, I don't know (then again, that alone might make it better stocked than SS).
Also, on a different topic, I am rather impressed at how well Motromaster sold. he is sold out practically everywhere in Canada and the US at the moment. I don't know if there is more to come.

He seems to have done well here too. I never seen a physical copy of him in stores but did however see the barcode/price sticker ON shelves where he should be, so it was likely just ships in the night. Which is a bummer bc I'd been banking on picking him up on sale similar to how I got Sky Lynk and Rowdy Roddy Prime

Yeah same here, I've been able to get all commanders on sale. As of right now, I have missed out on motormaster, but we'll see. The quantities still seem really low, I think not all stock has been alloted yet, especially when the limbs outside of Dragstrip arent even common at retail yet.

I'm not taking any chances with the Stunticons so I preordered and paid everything at full price. Now if only that sonovabitch Breakdown would REALLY come out already...

I don't blame you (or anyone)... After seeing Dragstrip go on sale on Amazon multiple times, my plan was to wait until Dead End and Breakdown went on similar sales.
And I'm glad I never canceled my preorders for Breakdown with Amazon, because it seems like IF those ever go on sale, you'd have to have extremely lucky timing for that to work out.
I snagged one Dead End from my Target, and it had have been a random return. There's been no sign of any wave 3 deluxes anywhere in my area.
So now it will be interesting to see if the next Stunticon I see in a store is Dead End or Breakdown.

I never saw the Dragstrip sales or I might have gotten him then, originally I was going to just pass on him as I didn't care mush for the character of the looks of the bot. Then it occurred to me I probably should get it for completion sakes. I also planned to get them all on sale but now that seems very unlikely.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I haven’t ever seen a Commander Class figure in-store.
Amazon had Dragstrip for either $20.99 or $19.99 a couple times.
Kickback was $17.99 for a while…
But I would say waiting for any of the last 3 to go on a sale now is a risky roll of the dice.
It will probably happen, but you’ll need a lot of luck to actually get any of them before they’re gone.
I’m getting my second Dead End from TFSource.

I've seen them all in store, except Jetfire. I got all mine online, except Sky-Lynx, who I got at Target 9where I've seen them). I've never seen ANY of them at Walmart.
Posted by o.supreme on January 21st, 2023 @ 4:54pm CST
I got my Jetfire from Walmart during it's initial release. Skylinx from Target. Rodimus from Amazon ( due to stores in my area not carrying it). And Motormaster from Target, which I'm coming to appreciate more and more how rare this sighting was ( and it was actually my daughter that found it, not me). So despite me having all CC so far,I only ever saw the first 2 at B&M, although thelast 3 have been confirmed at different Targets

Maybe two in wave 1, Motormaster in wave 2, and the last two in wave 3… I would’ve been really happy with that.
Now, I do think all 3 Insecticons should’ve been released within 9 months in 3 consecutive waves.

Not to mention, the Cons getting entire waves to themselves is a rarity, that's a luxury that's typically only given to the good guys. In fact, the last time there was an all-Con Deluxe wave was also in Combiner Wars when the Combaticons hit the scene, and 90% of the time it happens in any other size class it only happens because that wave contains at least some of the 3 most bankable Cons in the franchise (the Legacy rereleases of both Core and Voyager Soundwave, for example).ZeroWolf wrote:It would be pretty unlikely unless it was part of an exclusive subline.

Was that in Canada by chance? If not, they could have been online returns.
At any rate, it seems kind of odd already having about half of L:E wave 1, and they really haven't shown up at retail in the U.S. at all yet. (save for the once exception I posted yesterday). Also it wasn't from Robot Kingdom or another international seller, just plain old Amazon.com.
Pre-Orders are certainly nothing new, and I understand they dont mean getting the item first. There were plenty of other times in the past I cancelled online pre-orders when I found something in-store first. But moving forward it seems the way to go since finding things at B&M is becoming less likely. Not necessarily because of distribution issues, but because the big 2 in the U.S. (Target and Walmart) just aren't carrying them in the quantities they were previously.

I find wave 3 of Legacy absolutely mind boggling, there's only one Autobot across all classes, the rest are either Decepticons or Predacons. The entire line ratio is pretty off when it comes to retail figure, 10 Autobots and 22 Decepticons and Predacons. Pretty crazy.

Definitely not online returns, this was one of my local Walmarts, they had a ton of them. December 19, 2021.

Right now, you can still find Rodimus Prime in TrU's brick and mortar stores on clearance at 84$CAN. Strangely, I never saw Motormaster in a TrU store.

I never, ever saw any Commanders at Walmart too. Just online, my local geek store, and at Toys R Us.
Right now, you can still find Rodimus Prime in TrU's brick and mortar stores on clearance at 84$CAN. Strangely, I never saw Motormaster in a TrU store.
Motormaster sold like crazy in Canada. Looks like people were ok with that $140 price.

Each case has 2 Leo Primes and 1 Tarn. Those who ordered them from Amazon.com should be getting them soon as well.
