I never seen the Universe Cosmos around my area. I was lucky to find Warpath, Hot Rod and Cyclonus.

 

Me neither, and I usually find everything in stores at some point.

Very very very very very very very very rare.

 

Even on the secondary market he is almost non-existant.

 

Like many other TF's Universe Cosmos is a myth as far as a UK release is concerned, but for once it seems the US had similar issues with distribution.

I didn't want the other 2 that were packaged in the Henkei release so I pretty much wrote off ever getting it until a couple of weeks ago when I found one from an ebay seller in Malaysia.

It cost me just over £12 shipped which is almost enough for a Deluxe at UK prices but Cosmos is excellent and I now have him stood next to the new Seaspray..............he's wondering how his former Minibot pal got so big  

 

Rare enough I made this

I think I only ever saw Legends Brawn in a store from that set (and didn't want him).

 

That entire wave was skipped over here.   The BB/Brawn/Beachcomber/Ani Starscream wave was quite easy to find for a while, in comparison.

 

He's actually rare?!?! I found Legends Cosmos at WM one day, picked up him and Targetmaster Cyclonus. Never opened either of them.   I still regret not getting Warpath though. There was one left and he was gone when I went back later that week.

 

I never saw that wave at retail myself. A board member here was out one night and found them. He called me to ask if I wanted the wave. Those Legends are in my collection now.  

 

I believe he was a tail-ender, along with Hot Rod, Braun and Warpath. I think the deluxes of Hot Shot and Ratchet were also in the same wave, tuff guys to find!

 

I never saw them in a store, save one time where it was obvious they were returned. They were all taped up.

I got the whole wave from BBTS though, after I got the Henkei. Only problem with them is, no Hot Rod and I actually wanted him.

 

I wish we could all lobby for Hasbro to re-issue the last of the Universe Legends (Cosmos, BumbleBee, Warpath, Brawn, Wheelie, Beachcomber, & Hotrod) as a Target or ToysRus Exclusive 7-figure set, like they've done in the past with Cybertron and Movie Legends.

I could never find any of these figures anywhere, and the aftermarket prices are just disgustingly expensive. A reissue set of those 7 would open my wallet quick for Hasbro. They should have anticipated that people would want these figures so much, and still do to this day. Such desired and long awaited characters, and in their respective mini-bot size even, would garner the interest of most fans.

 

I consider myself lucky to have found Cosmos, Rodimus and Wheelie on clearance in a Meijer store. Never saw Warpath, ever. Brawn and Bumblebee I picked up in a Wal-Mart, I think, but I skipped Beachcomber for some reason.

 

I found all of them at the local Toyrus when they came out, the only one I didnt see was Hot Rod. They were there for one week and they were gone. Seems like they only had one case and that was it. I seen Hot Rod go for about $35 sealed which is crazy!!

 

Aren't Cosmos and Brawn the only ones out of that wave not to be repainted? I'd say we're due that at least.

 

i got the entire wave for 20 off a board member, thankfully, also the henkei ones aren't that hard to get

 

Never saw any of that wave in the stores that I went to.

 

the bumblebee wave was everywhere and the cosmos wave was nowhere. i didn't even see any of that wave once around here. misb henkei c-19 is impossible to find as well.

 

Only ever saw them in my local(ish) import store. Don't think that wave ever came to the UK. Didn't realise they were that rare so I only bought Warpath, intending to pick the others up another time. That was the last I ever saw of them.
Wish Hasbro would put them out again. Don't want repaints of them - I want the proper colours.

 

I think you are right. they others all go repainted somehow/where.

 

I don't think the repaints of Wheelie and Hotrod ever made it here either. We recently got the Hound and Beachcomber repaints though. But then we already had Hound and Beachcomber first time around. Repaints of things we already had here irk me when we don't get either version of other stuff at all.
