Good news for fellow fans and collectors in the UK. We can report that the new Legacy Wave 2 Deluxe Elita-1, Knock-Out, Tarantulas and Wild Rider have been found at Watford Smyths. At the same store, Velocitron Cosmos, Override and Hauler were available too.
To top it all, the new Legacy Core G2 Megatron, Shockwave and Optimus Prime (re-release) were spotted at Hastings Toymaster. Also, we can also spot Studio Series SS-87 DOTM Bumblebee from Studio Series Wave 17 Deluxe. We had previously reported SS-88 ROTF Sideways which means only SS 86-16 Arcee is missing from this wave.
Happy hunting!

Yeah, some while back I think
Nevermore
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:

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".

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.

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

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

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.
Silly Dave
Oh how I wish we had shelves like this in the U.S.
