    I've got all the Legion figures so far except Bumblebee (still too much Bumblebee overload for me to buy a single carded one) and I like them all quite a bit, except Arcee's incredibly loose backpack bothers me. I might want to army build Vehicons if I can get them at lower prices than the $6 I paid at Toys R Us for the one I have.

    I'm sure they will be cheaper before to long. You might be unlucky to find that they get rotated out of the cases by then though. But that would only be a problem if they sell out.

    I'll probably keep an extra bumblebee in reserve too make into a Legion Hotshot if Hasbro don't bother I'll make my own.

    Got me my first two figures last night from Target. Legion Ratchet and a Vehicon. Both are great figures and I can't wait to get the others. The gummy weapons is the only downside to them, and even that's not that big of an issue for me.

    Should be cool to see any Cyberverse reveals from Toy Fair. If nothing else, a better look at Optimus Maximus would be nice.

    Haha. Yep!

    Thanks!

    I haven't had any luck. I don't think Target is getting them in just yet, but they will probably have them by the 26th.

    Target has them for $4.99...

    I think Soundwave and Skyquake Commanders have already been confirmed.

    Skyquake yes, but Soundwave is apparently getting a Legion sized figure. Soundwave is wave two, so I imagine we'll probably get our first look at him from toy fair. I'm not excited about him being a Legion, but the fact he's already being made makes me happy. I'm hopeful that he'll turn out pretty good.

    Edit: Well never mind about Soundwave, looks like that listing was for a movie repaint...

    Wave 2 legions and commanders and the playsets here: TRANSFORMERStoyfairpage

    Looks awesome. Sucks about Soundwave. Paint looks nice, at least, but it's a shame that the only true Prime Legion in Wave 2 is Breakdown (who looks great as well).

    ^ I agree - Breakdown looks awesome! But... why is Skyquake Purple?

    I don't know - maybe they figure Bulkhead and Skyquake would put too much green on the pegs at once?

    Went to 3 Targets and a TRU today and only had luck at the first Target which had 3 Bumblebees, a Cliffjumper, an Arcee, and a Ratchet. I bought Cliffy, Arcee, and the Doctor of Doom figuring I could get Bee any old time. every other store I went to only had one Bee left on the peg. The Eradicon however is gonna be a bitch to find I take it.:(

    Just got Bumblebee today. I actually like him. Great sculpt and great vehicle mode. Haven't found the Vehicon, yet.

    Can't wait for the next wave of legions/commanders/playsets.

    I just cleared out new space for the oncoming Prime figures just revealed at toy fair. This line is looking great.

    That Dreadwing looks like he has plenty of Scout class engineering tricks in him.

    He looks terrific too, so does Ironhide.

    I really dig the Energon Drill w/ Knockout. Nice to see Breakdown (Beefy!). And I have no problems with sneaking in some DotM Legion repaints. More troops for the war!

    And they can repaint that Dreadwing/Skyquake mold as many times as they like. I will buy them.

    Oh man, Bumblebee's sculpt is just plain awesome. It makes me forget that he's, you know, Bumblebee.


    What will you guys be doing with Evac/Soundwave/Mirage? Not sure yet if I'll be putting them with my DotM or Prime Cyberverse figures.

    They'll get smooshed into my all encompassing Cyberverse collection. Which includes select Legends class figures (like the Cybertron Starscream mold, RTS Prowl, 07 and RotF legends etc), Cyberjets and some Powercore Combiners.

    That's what I do as well. If the figures have a relative scale, they are included.
    The PCC Constructicons work well, some minicons (Sixspeed Shadow Recon makes a great Mirage stand-in) and even the 3rd party Targetroids fit the scale.

    Right now, any and all upcoming Cyberverse figures will be welcome additions.

    Going down the page...
    Evac - looks pretty sweet. Seems like he borrows CV Roadbuster's transformation.
    Breakdown - suitably chunky, bummer he's not a Commander like Bulkhead.
    Soundwave - looks pretty cool for a repaint, and I do like the mold.
    Mirage - iffier. Car mode looks good in red though.

    Dreadwing - nice. Almost brings Energon Starscream to mind, not sure why.
    Ironhide - red and black do look good. Amused that in the vehicle mod photo the cannon is on backward.

    Wheeljack/Starhammer - still kind of on the fence on the ship, but I want 'jack for sure.
    Knockout/Driller - much more likely right off the bat. I like KO's energon weapon.

    Op Max - ....better photos needed, see review before buying. Though I do wonder if there would be as much kerfuffle over the set if it wasn't Optimus-as-base-bot.

    Grimstone looks great towering over Legends in combined mode.

    Just about all that stuff looks awesome, except Optimus Maximus, which I'm still just...meh about. I doubt I'll get that Soundwave (and maybe not Mirage), but everything else I pretty much want. I'll be holding off on Legion Bumblebee under the assumption that it'll be in a multipack or something I'll want, or if nothing else wait to get it on sale to fill out the cast.
