Transformers Legacy Wave 2 Deluxe & Core And Velocitron Deluxe & Voyager Out At UK Retail - Transformers News - TFW2005
My Walmart has 2 Coronation Starscreams in various states of "crushed to hell" and a headless Bulkhead, what they lack in selection they make up for in aesthetic.
It's important to point out that SO FAR just solid cases of Cosmos have been seen for the deluxe: None of the other 4 (Road Rocket, Burnout, Blurr & Clampdown) have yet been found though that may change very shortly
Smyths is the only UK shop that looks like this and many of us have to travel far to get them. There'a two other UK toychains, Toymaster (a loose confederation of shops) and The Entertainer both have "varying" levels of stock Supermarkets have abandoned Transformers and most other Hasbro boys toy lines
Just found some of the Velocitron figures at the Walmart I work at here in Mass. picked up the one Roadhauler that was left on the shelf also have 1 override left and some Blurrs, Roadrockets, and Burn Outs as well as some Legacy wave 1s
As said above. this is because really there are very limited destinations in the UK (and Ireland) for toys - we don't have department stores on the same scale as the US, and any non-specialised shops (Tesco/ASDA/Dunnes) might at best have some LEGO with a focus on toys for kids below 6. Smyths is effectively like the Irish Toys'R'Us, sompletely devoted to selling toys (and games), and has since expanded into the UK and mainland Europe. In the UK you have a few other options (Entertainer, Toymaster), but Ireland only really has Smyths and a handful of independent shops, as well as some Toymasters that - for some reason - still have PWT figures (nothing worthwhile though) It means that our shevels look packed, but outside of Dublin, our capital, we're usually up to an hour away from our nearest source of figures. Also means shelf time (and what dictates a shelfwarmer) is far more broad over here - I was able to get NF Bumblebee and Soundwave while I think wave 2 or 3 of Kingdom was on shelves.
Has the rest of Deluxe "wave 1" been reported at UK retail yet? Smyths previously only got solid cases of Cosmos. Now they got the rest as well, as confirmed by Toys Are Russ on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XlLD9GgqhD4 I can spot Blurr, Clampdown and Road Rocket, though I don't see Burn Out. He's mispronouncing "Jhiaxus", though. The name was created be a pun, "Gee, axe us", and thus shouldn't be pronounced "Jye-axus".
