Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Retail Pegs Spotted In The US

 

Meijer, thats a place thats not had an first sighting in a while...

 

I work at my local Meijer (store 174 in mason MI) they're supposed to be part of our big spring toys reset but my store doesn't have any pipeline date when they'll arrive as we're in the middle of a corporate remodel and our toys section is....disheveled to say the least.

 

Any ROTB stuff that you’re looking forward to? I’m waiting for the Battle Masters, Beast Combiners, and the Optimus Primal roleplay mask.

 

Didn\'t realize they would be so cheap. Great for a budget collector like me

 

Anything i can get my hands on honestly, it all looks like a lot of fun!

 

I am a little concerned that Legacy is going to go the wayside during the Rise Of The Beast push.

 

Agreed. My son and I have been collecting a lot of Legacy stuff. We have zero interest in any ROTB figures. I wonder if Hasbro has considered some collectors dislike the movie aesthetic and will be on the sidelines for awhile?

 

I’m not at all, the only one doing it is Meijers.

 

I've been wondering if anticipating the ROTB has led Target to not bother stocking Legacy.

 

Because he's due in June. The movie line is slated for April.

Different DPCIs. It's more likely Legacy stuff is trickling in and will ride the Spring reset along with this.

 

Huh, I saw these tags about a month ago and didnt know it was news. Oh well. Should be nice to actually SEE transformers on meijer shelves as theyve been BARREN recently.

 

Scourge will be out before June.

 

Lines fighting for shelf space:

Legacy
Studio Series
Earthspark
Rotb

4 lines, and shelf space dedicated to TF as a whole has been shrinking...


Oh, almost forgot that Walmart and Target both have their own line of exclusives, so make that 5 lines fighting for shelf presence

 

And in October, reactivate as well

 

I got a feeling even sooner than October.

 

Prices aren't terrible. Huh. *nods in approval*

 

I mean, theres more lines than that at the momment tho, specially since Hasbro and Takara merged the brand. besides those 5 we have Authentics, Generations Selects, Collaborative, R.E.D, Vintage(G1&BW), Masterpiece, MPG, Ultimates, ReAction, Classic Heroes Team, Retro G1, Buzzworthy Bumblebee and Beast Wars Again. pretty certain im missing some línes, and some of them are only on shelves on certain countries but theres a lot, 18 toylines in total, and im sure it was even crazier when japan had their own exclusives

 

I was surprised by that too. And the figures look like fun fidget toys. This line might just lure me in.

 

I’m not so sure on that. Those are likely going to be held till the game’s release date gets announced at the earliest. To the best of my knowledge there’s been no confirmed release date for the game, so we might not get them this year if a delay occurs.
