2005 Board member Tarn31 has relayed some news from a Transformers Facebook group. Found at Target stores in California and Arizona are the second wave of deluxe figures in the Legacy line! Included in this wave are Prime Universe Knockout, Beast Wars Tarantulas, Elita-1 and the next limb for Menasor, Wild Rider!
Are you seeing this exciting new wave at your stores? Share in the thread after the jump!

It would be more thrilling if:
1 stores had stock
2 what is on the shelf didn't sit and rot for months at a time
In any case, I'd rather have a guaranteed preorder that I can cancel on the off chance I find something on a random trip to pick up something unrelated to toys

Same here. I love the thrill of hunting for figures.

Prices are just too high nowadays for me and I need the Target redcard/employee discount for my mainline purchases. Thankfully, I’ve been able to get everyone I’ve wanted without too much trouble, save for that damned Dead End. Plus, I’m still one of those nuts who loves running around looking for figures and posting on the sightings threads.

Shop where you feel best my dude, I'm also a fan of Pulse but I think I'm going to move elsewhere this year. I've cut back what I want to get by quite a lot so I don't really see the savings in a premium membership for awhile.

Me: Oh boy, I can't wait to see-Ooh no. Spider!

Exactly. If I relied on physical store, my WFC/Legacy collection would be a fraction what it is. Heck most of the figures I own, I have never seen in a store.

Just saw Wave 2 at Wal-Mart today too! They also had Earthspark stuff.

This is why Pulse is my go-to.
*Disclaimer: I'm not trying to restart the "pulse is awesome" vs "pulse sux" debate, I'm just saying that it works for ME.

100% agreed

At this point and it’s been this way for a while , if someone is relying on brick and mortar they’re simply playing themselves. Collecting would be nearly impossible
Fenrys
stuff like that is why I don't rely on brick and mortar stores to get the stuff I want

With "Legacy Evolution" continuing the same assortment codes from "Legacy" 2023 is going to be a crapshoot at retail. Without new codes they can literally throw anything from 2022 & 2023 on the shelf and it's "correct". Note that there wasn't any big clearance to get rid of 2022 products. I worry about 2024… if the codes stay the same, we could still see 2022 wave 1 in December 2024

Seems so, at least down here in South Florida.
I have to wonder now if this was always the case only I just now started noticing since I didn't start collecting again until well into Earthrise.
Notomus
so Walmart is what, a full four waves behind now?
Vanya
6 Month bump just to say that these FINALLY arrived at my local Walmart!
WTH, man!?!
Maybe the wave 4 figures will get here some time before the end of the damn year.

I had the same exact experience finding only one copy of Knock Out on the pegs, with Elita-1, Tarantulas, and Wildrider being sold out. At least my visit to Target was not a total loss.

Just seen tonight. No one else from Wave 2. Didn't pick him up since Wave 2 came 2 weeks ago from EE.

Plus his paint job wasn't that great (can't really see the scratches on him in the pic).

Just came back from my Target in NM, it's only Wave 1 figures for now.
