Transformers Legacy toyline

[Superomegaprime]

I don't see any benefit to Hasbro Pulse Premium membership, it just screams scam to me, but then I live in the UK and I just don't see any benefit, when postage is free over a certain amount and that easily made up on TFs these days, the only so called benefit is the abbilty to preorder about an hour ahead of those who don't have Premium, but I wouldn't call that a win! I don't do conventions, so is there any real benefit beyond that, I don't see any, which is why I think its just a scam and not worth the money or am I missing something?

It would have been good if I'd had better luck llast year, I could have maybe got that proton pack. But that's a lot of 'if's and 'maybe's, not enough to have continued it for me. And a I'm in the U.S.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee multipack figures might all be in "toon accurate" paintjobs?

Translation:

- "Transformer Generation Buzz Worthy Deluxe Class Autobot Trail Breaker".

I was a member for years, and it was great. But stuff sells out too quickly now, so it's not worth it for me anymore.

...have all appeared at half price or less in under 6 months of their intial release...

I guess I haven't been paying attention. Where have Titan Class figures been available for 50% off?

I wanted toy colors but I was okay with toon colors. But seeing how toon colors work with Galvatron, I'm sold. This was the way to go.

That actually looks pretty good. Doing a tire swap between the two may work out well.

I can't speak for other Titans (because tbh I haven't really been paying much attention to the sales for them cuz I don't have room even if they show up at a crazy good price) but I do know that BlackZarak was available at GameStop for $70 back in November.

So that's one place that's had at least one Titan Class figure for a massive discount.

The free shipping alone makes it worthwhile for me, but results may vary depending on how many things you order.

 

[Echowarrior]

Preordered at BBTS.

When I have money again I'm tempted to build an Armada collection. I'm just in awe of how this turned out. I don't know why the toon head looked so weird in the render, because now that we have stock photos of the physical toy it looks fine to me. I can't believe how much I'm liking the look of the combination as well. I was firmly in the camp wanting a big Tidal Wave, because I did not care about the combination. But I actually want to display this combination. The adjusted proportions (including foot extensions) have won me over.

And that Galvatron is just beautiful. That color scheme was always a winner, and it looks like they nailed it.

Pulse Premium was pretty good for store exclusives (and, YMMV, still is), but outside of Walmart’s stuff, Hasbro has been pretty good about cycling overstock, reruns, and the other major retailers HAVE stepped up to improve availability. And all considered, I’d rather give my money to Hasbro (or proxy) than Walmart.

In terms of “cheap Titans”, Best Buy (I assume they got some overstock for the holidays) had both Cybertron Metroplex and Black Zarack routinely on sale for $120 or less. Black Zarak even hit under $100 several times. However, by and large, I’ve really not seen Titans really “stagnate” on the US market. Cybertron Metroplex is the biggest “Titan fizzle” I can recall since they became a regular yearly offering. And I think Hasbro’s tweaked the production numbers to mitigate that issue (I NEVER saw Nemesis on sale, and Armada Prime was either the strongest selling Commander we’ve yet gotten, or Hasbro trimmed the production low enough for full sell through).



In terms of Tidal Wave? I am completely happy with what Hasbro has been able to deliver here. For all the different “plates” they were trying to juggle (toy vs cartoon colors, cartoon/toy scale vs iconic game scale, combining vs size, etc), I think Hasbro delivered on everything they practically could. Us game fans get our giant battleship, cartoon fans get their deco, and they even managed to deliver a means of combining with the Armadatrons. And just to juice it up, they managed the best base mode any Titans has yet sported.

It would be HIGHLY hypocritical of me to spend the last…ten years?…harking for a Titan Tidal Wave and not get him. I’m getting Tidal Wave, the question is, if I manage to snag a discount. Regardless, I’m not in any rush to preorder a toy seven-ish months out and will be available AT LEAST through the holiday season. But I don’t intend to stall too long…not after how Nemesis did. Magmatron? I think he might end up a softer seller like Rodimus Prime ended up being.


And just a heads up, of sorts. JtPrime DID post a near complete list of the United 2024 product calendar a few months back. While subject to change (especially the back half), it’s probably a good “guide map” to the upcoming line. I won’t post the full thing for those wanting a surprise, but it does indicate Armada Galvatron is slated for release about the same time as Tidal Wave.

Wave Breakdown of 2024 Transformers Legacy Line

Thanks to JTPrime17, we have a wave breakdown of the 2024 Legacy Line, along with two listings for generations selects multipacks. While we know a commander class and titan class figure is coming next year, it is unknown which characters those are. Tra

Just because Pulse sold out of Tidal Wave NOW, doesn't mean he won't come back up. Especially when his release gets closer.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

As much as I hate to say it, I probably have to bow out of most major Titans going forward. I just don't have the room.

That also unfortunately includes the Ark and the Nemesis. But at least Tidal Wave looks like he'd be easier to store, breaking him down into his individual components.

I might be able to manage one more... that spot is reserved for G1 Fortress Maximus (or a recolor, or faithful modern reproduction), of course. I will knock someone over if the stars finally align and the opportunity presents itself for me to finally get one.

Galvatron incoming..

(A shame his shoulders will still be nerfed... )

Oof, it's even worse than that... didn't the pieces attach to his lower arms before, so he could, you know, aim them and stuff?

Reminder though that Legacy Armada Megatron's shoulder joints are nerfed, so they can't be moved backwards, which severely limits the figure's posability. Perhaps that's why?

 

[Sabrblade]

It was said back at this toy's first reveal that the arm pieces can attach to Megatron's arms OR shoulders, giving us more options to display the combination however we wish to.

I wanted toy colors but I was okay with toon colors. But seeing how toon colors work with Galvatron, I'm sold. This was the way to go.

I still want toy colors, but this looks pretty good; maybe toyhax stuff can help add some more visual interest. Held out on the mold to get it as Galvatron (and am also hoping for a Cryotek from TM2 Meg's) and I'll be glad to get it.

Regrettably, I'll have to pass on Tidal Wave, but I'm glad they accomplished what they did with it in this format. Maybe if it were a Commander, but I've about maxed out my space for Titans and all I can make room for is any future improvements on Metroplex and/or Fort Max, for which I can try and sell off the originals.

 

[unluckiness]

I'll bite on Tidal Wave. He makes a much better counterpart to Omega Supreme than Devastator and I like the anime colors. Not much use for the Megatron super mode parts. I'll pick up either version of the mold but not a t full price. Tidal Wave's kinda pricy but not like I'm buying much figures nowadays.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I'm very happy with Tidal Wave on two fronts.

1) He looks cool and great.

2) I feel no need to spend $200 on him as I've held to buying mostly Generations G1 guys and he's just off target enough to pass on.

If someone gets him for me at some point as a birthday or xmas gift I'll be quite happy and if I never own him he doesn't make a hole in my collection. Best of both worlds.


ZacWilliam, having all the Star Seeker subline would likely make me want him a hair more, but being walmart who knows how many of those will be findable.

I may make you an offer on the super mode parts, if you're up for it.
