Good news for Generations fans this morning, as we have a new toy sighting for you. 2005 Board member harveydent reports finding wave 2 of Combiner Wars Legends figures at his local Toys at Us in Alexandria, VA. This wave features Huffer (a retool of Legends Optimus with a new Huffery-looking head) and an updated Micromaster in the form of Blackjack, who can form the chest piece to your Combiner Wars Menasor!

Its too bad this is Micromaster Blackjack in name and colorscheme only. It was originally supposed to be Runabout, but they probably couldn't use the character so soon after the Fan Club release. So this toy is a bit of an enigma.

Ditto. Glad I found this thread before I ruined the balljoints. >_>

I just bought Blackjack today, along with Huffer at the Sanford, FL. TRU. I didn't think his car mode would literally be Menasor's chestplate, but looking at that pic, it doesn't look too bad. Now just waiting patiently for my pre-order from ToySource to complete Menasor and Superion properly. On a side note, I also got a hold of Sonic amiibo at the same time. Not a bad score on a completely random day for me. I just wanted to use my $5 certificate. lol.

From the motormaster feedback thread:

I'm surprised they didn't get marked up more than that at TRU, maybe I will check that TRU Jr. near me.

Reports are circulating that e-tailers like Entertainment earth are canceling pre-orders of Blackjack as a result of Hasbro "canceling" the figure.
Not sure what the deal is there.

I just filed it down a little bit with an exacto knife and it fixed the problem. No one should have to do that though…

Nice! Hopefully I can get Blackjack sometime pretty soon.

Yep, they are the equivalent of the "Legends commanders" from TF Prime & DOTM, which are much larger the legends, but significantly smaller and simpler then Scouts were.

It's totally worth that price. Powerglide and Bombshell were fantastic so I know Blackjack will be great too.
Glad to make some one laugh.

I don't know if that's correct. They're definitely bigger than the old Legends figures but they're also smaller than the old Scout ones.

I had the exact same problem. Absolutely could not get them back….strangest thing. It was like they locked. Broke the first arm off trying to nicely move it back into position for alt mode. Used pliers on the other one and that arm broke off too. Glad to hear at least one other person experienced this, I thought I was going nuts!

Given all the brainstorms I saw today she has to pop up somewhere eventually. You know I went to tru today and didn't check the legends

I just found Blackjack and Huffer at Toys'R'us in Winston-Salem, NC. They had about three each.

Actually, these are really just scouts. No idea why they changed the name to Legends (which the Legion class figures now are) but they're Scout sized.

Cool news, I guess even though I'm still waiting on Wave 1 around here. :/
Rockdown
I am very happy about them. I never thought that Blackjack would get an update; he was a sick puppy in G1, he tried to blow up the ark.
Nevermore
How about here?
(Or, since this is wave 1, here.)
