    Howdie,

    Just wondering if the Animated Leader Megatron and the Wave 3 Deluxe have been spotted in US Retail yet?

    Leaders HAVE been spotted, but we can't confirm if that's widespread or just an isolated incident.

    Is Leader Meg the Cybertron mode or the Earth mode? The Cybertron-mode Megs in his own packaging is out in the Northern Virginia area.

    I picked up Leader Megs here in Canada on Fri. Leader Bulkhead was also there. I also picked up Voyager Prime. Haven't seen any other wave 3 figures yet. And STILL haven't seen a single universe/classics even though I keep hearing that they're all over Canada.

    Yes, I believe it was reported a couple weeks ago.


    Leader Megatron is the Earth-mode. A completely different toy, having little to no resemblance to the Cybertron-mode.

    There was a single US sighting of Leader Megatron and Bulkhead at least a week ago...but I don't recall there ever being any photographic proof, like with the Canadian Leader sightings or the recent US Classics sighting, so I'm still skeptical about the TFA Leaders actually being out in US retail. They also haven't hit BBTS yet and BBTS has been consistently getting in Animated stuff 1 - 2 weeks before US retail. I'm thinking someone got confused and listed a Voyager Bulkhead and Megatron in the wrong place.

    As for the Wave 3 TFA Deluxes, they're definitely out at US retail and there have been multiple, verified sightings. Heck, I found 3/4 of them at my local Target this morning.

    I know here in Canada we've had sightings of Megs, but I have yet to see him. I've seen tons of Universe though.
