No worries. I brought up this old thread, which causes confusion.

It is my bad wrong thread

Wait. This is the new SS figure. I think it’s different from the mainline figure discussed in the thread, am I right?
DarkEyes
Main Line Voyager figures, that actually look like Deluxes, have the same price than SS versions Voyagers.
Ok this is impressive, even for Hasbro is impressive.

I don't know if any othe retailers have had them, but I found Prime, Primal, and Rhinox all at my local Walmart. So for sure Walmart is carrying them. They have listings for them on the Walmart website now, so you could try your luck there.

Is this figure exclusive to some retailers in the US? I haven’t been able to find any at my local Walmart/Target or TCP etc. I’m wondering if buying it from eBay is the only option now …

Picked up the mainline voyager prime at my local Walmart today. I didn’t even check the price but was taken back a bit at checkout. 35 is a bit steep but bought him anyways.
still haven’t seen Legacy leo prime, gamer edition or the buzz worthy SS32 on shelf’s in my area yet.

Airrazor and Cheetor are definitely worth it, especially since they have much better accessories than the generations/SS versions. As for the voyagers, their distribution is so irregular and terrible that either buying them now or waiting has its downsides. Personally, I'm willing to bite the bullet now just in case I never see them on store shelves again. Hopefully, Hasbro gets better at distributing these toys once the movie comes out since so many other people are having a hard time finding them.

Yeah, $35 is a bit hard to swallow for what you get. For some reason, I was under the impression that they were going to be cheaper alternatives to the usual Deluxe and Voyager offerings. Might have taken a false rumor to heart. EDIT: I remember what made me think this. Cheetor and Primal are in different size classes in SS, so I guess I rationalized that the mainline releases would be cheaper overall compared to the SS versions and applied that to all of the releases, not just Cheetor and Primal.
I was planning on getting all of the beasts and Optimus Prime. I'll probably wait for clearance for Rhinox and Primal now. The Airrazor is too good to pass up even at $20 or $25, Cheetor as well.
WegMeister
They are $35. A little too pricey for my taste but the bulkiness of the figures (minus optimus prime) and accessories kind of make up for it.
Majestic Senzu
I might try one of my local Walmarts today. I doubt they will have them though since they restocked the toy aisles a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if they continue restocking right after the restock.
How much were they? Looks like the tag says $35.

Just went to my local Walmart in South Dakota today and found two rhinoxes and one prime.
Majestic Senzu
Any sign of these guys at US retail yet? Or any of the mainline figures, for that matter.
Nem
They're in Smyths Toys in Ireland I've seen them but passed on it because I wasn't super interested at the time. Though our distrubtion tends to be around the same as the UK given how we're so close.
cybeast
A huge undergap and they can't even make it used for weapon storage smh.

Finally done with this toy. Now I await for the Studio Series one.

Used some random upgrade kit blades and Shockwave Lab's upgrade blaster for SS Galvatron.

Got a 2nd copy today in case I decide to custom another one, really shows how the lack of paint make the vanilla figure look underwhelming:

Hasbro's mold layout is just an absolute mystery for me– Mark saying that the average voyager having 12 sheets was a genuine head scratcher considering the amount of parts that are molded in the wrong colors and are blatently painted over is way too typical for a voyager with that much sprues.
