    I've already found everything I needed from wave 1: G2 Optimus, Skids, Kickback, and Buzzworthy Silverstreak. I already had Earthrise Blaster. I don't think there's anything from wave 2 that I'm after. Of everything else we know is comming out, I just need Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus and Twincast.

    This pic is so lovely for some reason, I don't even know why. It looks like as if Scourge is on the verge of having a mental breakdown after realizing that he's just a redeco of a figure wich was released almost a whole decade prior to him.

    I'm sad they went with a WFC Show art book instead of a WFC package art book. The WFC and Legacy artwork is amazing!

    The cardboards are so flimsy. Why include that die cut for Arcee then dump it for Bulkhead? Mine's from Amazon and that thin part got torn. (I know, 1st world problems)

    It's quite a shame. They pay for this awesome art and it either ends up in the trash or crammed into a box in the closet.

    I imagine though that part of the legalities with this art is hasbro isn't allowed to do a book exclusively reprinting it. Otherwise, how much work would be involved in making a "box art book"? Slap the art on a page, credit artist (and name character) below. 2 minutes per page, tops. Add an intro page with a cringe generic "the artists we hire to make box art are so talented!"

    Bulkhead is the only one from this line that I have (and Blaster, but I got him through Kingdom, although it's exactly the same figure).

    I have preordered most of these. Since most of them seem to be out already, I checked the delivery date of the UK shop, and I see July! I think there is possibility of earlier shipping, but I think there are shipping issues. Understandable concerning the current state of the world. I can wait.

    Only nabbing Kickback and Iguanus from this wave, and Blitzwing + Tarantulas from the next. Legacy is saving me a lot of money.

    Looking at Skids, he keeps getting better and better. I don't know if I should get him or wait for Burnout or a potential Crosscut.

    Hard to resist hatchbacks...

    I just got Core Hot Rod recently and I was underwhelmed by it. It’s okay but not up to par compared to previous Cores.

    Now Iguanus on the other hand, is definitely 1 of the best Cores and a good sign of things to come.

    Got all 3 cores. Kept Iguanus and the weapons, flipped the other 2 figures on ebay. I'm really loving the complete sword, and it even works on deluxes! (You have to pull the black hilt out of the center part a little, but it stays together well.) It even scales well with deluxes!

    Blaster and Cleanatron for me. Very selective on these.

    Someone made one for G1 so it’s def possible. (On Amazon)
    The WFC sub-lines came & went so fast we barely had time to appreciate the art in between. Which was some of the best.

    All look interesting, I was wondering how Hasbro has fared these past few years, might order Skids and Dragstrip.

    Finished wave 1 today. Can totally see how Kickback will be redone into Ransack.

    Dragstrip is surprisingly tight in his design. Now really excited for the rest of the team.

    Skipped the "prime" toys and Blaster (have the Kingdom package version).

    Got an email today that Arcee and Skids will be shipping soon.
    Gonna be nice to have them earlier than June.
    And I just got Bulkhead yesterday, so his fellow cast member will be a great addition.

    Now I wait on Laser Prime.
