Bummed to hear about the mold degradation on Medix, NORM. I don't have, nor do I care about Medix, but I am hoping to see Reboost and Screech (the Red and Orange, respectively, Diaclone versions of Skids) to go along with Burn Out and Crosscut someday.
Wave 2 of Legacy United is up. Gears sold out on Amazon and Pulse already.
Went with EE for Gears and Sandstorm. All I need for my Geewun goodness in this round. Got Cybertron Wheeljack at Target too.
Just need Windcharger and Buzzaw to complete G1S1 and have that childhood wishlist completed. Be nice if someone actually recreated the original checklist insert pamphlet for G1S1 using these updated figures once completed.
Hearing about that Skids mold degradation makes me super worried, because Crankcase was already looser than I liked, and I really want that Cannonball...
I still don't like the lack of hood transformation/integration, but I REALLY like that Gears can put his on his back, instead of behind his head like I've always hated with him & Brawn.
Someone already found the Wheeljack (Cybertron version from G1 episode 1) at a TRU in Vaughn, Ontario, Canada (just north of Toronto).
Good old TRU Canada has gone back to price gouging though. $55Cdn (plus tax so over $60Cdn for a Voyager Class figure). For you guys in the US that works out to just shy of $41US before tax. Voyagers are what? $35US right now? Highway robbery, but hey it is a store exclusive up here as well. Just sucks that the store is TRU.
I got shut out on everything at my got-to sites (Pulse, then Amazon) so I wound up ordering everything at BBTS, but then Gears went back in stock at Pulse so I ordered there too. Only one I’m completely shut out on is Wheeljack, but Target TFs have often been plentiful by me. Was surprised by sell outs everywhere else though!
I can keep an eye out for you, Norm. I'll text you if I see him.
Finally found my Bombshell. Then, 30 seconds after opening realized there was no gun. In lieu of a weapon I got a 2nd warning slip. Some lucky bastard got 2 guns. I hope they don't choke on it since they have no safety slip to warn them of the dangers. Sad thing is you can't even complete the transformation without the accessories, so I'm not done looking for Bomby yet. Sigh!
Finally found my 2nd (and 3rd) Bombshell 4 months later, so I now have a complete figure. Yay!
Found Origins Wheeljack at my Target. Yay! Went to pay for him and got street dated. Boo! Good thing I didn’t cancel my preorder right away.
Snagged my 1st Bombshell at Kroger's Sunday, it's good to complete my fave Decepticon faction but he's the weakest of the three. Now we wait for the Deluxes to wrap up.
Unfortunately I did not bother to ask after the associate scanned Wheeljack. I left thinking I could wait for my preorder so the street date was not that big of a deal.
@leor I only ask in case I come across it before the street date also. I only ever find out about that shit as I’m at a register. It’s the worst. If I find before a known street date, I’ll hide it for later.

Just out of curiosity, were you planning to do the hip swap between Bomby and Shrap? I did it and it improves the figures imo a small, but substantial amount aesthetically.
First I'm hearing of such a thing. What's it do?
