Attention collectors! 2005 Boards member wreckgar39 has just shared photographic proof of his sighting of the highly anticipated Transformers Legacy Velocitron Deluxe & Leader Class toys at physical Walmart stores.
The Walmart exclisive Velocitron Deluxe class IDW Blurr, Burn Out, Clampdown, Road Rocket and Cosmos, together with Leader class RID Universe Scourge were found at Valley View Walmart in Virginia. Time to check your nearest Walmart stores, specially if you weren’t lucky to get a pre-order during the recent Walmart Collectors Con online event.
Happy hunting!

Did you find them yet?

Or it could be the Vietnam factory is garbage.
Thanks, Takara.

That looks more like a disgruntled employee or extra hyper kid got a little rough with the figure.
Armageist
Yeah the plastic on these is something else.

I've seen other QC issues on Burn Out (Gront Windshield poorly glue at top and/or paint coming off).
Scrutinize these before you buy them. Hasbro really cutting corners evidently due to Covid/Shipping.

I just noticed a crack on my V Blurr's right foot.
Which was not there when I received him.

Does anyone have the Walmart SKU # for the deluxes that works on brickseek?

Probably, but so were Fractyl and Packrat (if memory serves) and they've yet to materialize. My general rule of thumb is until we get store listings I take any leak with a grain of salt. And even then, some store listings (like Amazon Prime) never come to fruition.
T-Hybrid
Wasn't Antagony on a leak list somewhere?

Oh, I know every character out there has a fan, no matter how obscure; my entire collection is pretty much weirdo repaints. Heck I got Sandstorm as soon as I could. It's not meant as a slight against BW fans, I just didn't feel the need to blue my text to denote sarcasm. (I just hope that since Walmart over-ordered on them, they afford Velocitron the same.)
Fenrys
Yea, personally I love a lot of the deep cut BW repaints, especially prototype Tigatron, Buzzsaw, Skywasp, Nightprowler and Sandstorm. Just wish they'd do Fractyl and Packrat and hope we get Antagony and Cryotek

There are a number of BW fans enjoying these deep cut repaints, which is to us what the Diaclone repaints are to fans of G1 and earlier.

I'm pretty sure I have it, still. If I can find it, it's yours.

I like my Nightprowler, now that I fixed the face:

I really have a bad feeling this is going to end up like the Netflix line, namely the items that everyone wanted but no store had because they only got one shipment
Skreeonk
Welp, looks like I missed out Cosmos at my local WM, had my wife take a pic of the section, looks like everyone is there except Cosmos & Clampdown. My only hope now is for restocks, or if someone out of the goodness of their hearts finds one for me (always PayPal ready!).
My wife's comment on the approximately 200 shelf warming Legacy Buzzsaws and Nightprowlers "Who are these guys? No one seems to love them." No, no one does.

The flag is actually green plastic fully painted over. Can't remember where, but there is at least one pic shared on this site that shows it
drmick
Does anybody know if the white flag is counted as being one of the three metal molds that comprise Cosmos? There is no other white plastic- nor any white plastic that is painted that I can see.
