The new Transformers Legacy “Toxitron Collection” Deluxes have showed up at Canadian retail, and it didn’t take long to get our first in-hand images of these colorful toys based on unreleased concept redecos from Generation 2.
Thanks to 2005 Boards member Oniconvoy we have images of the new G2 Dead End, G2 Universe Jazz, G2 Universe Laser Cycle (Legacy G2 Road Rocker with an unreleased G2 Laser Cycle Jazz deco), G2 Universe Mirage and G2 Universe Sideswipe.
To top it all, thanks to TFToyBox YouTube, we have additional images of G2 Universe Mirage. While these toys haven’t been spotted at US retail yet, G2 Universe Grimlock has been found at a Walmart in Florida a few hours ago.
See all the images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I have no regrets with buying this whole capsule. Absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure I would, but it's a great line.

I was lucky enough to find Sour Watermelon Mirage and Strawberry Habanero Jazz in store. Have yet to see Tequila Sunrise Sideswipe or even Lime Lacroix Lasercycle in store. I enjoy Mango Grimlock but do admit he kinda floats around the collection. He serves as my stunt Grimlock when a freinds kid wants to play with one, while I clutch my precious SS and SG Grimlocks to myself

I almost feel like I won the lottery! Found a single Tequila Sunswipe in store last Saturday!
And with that my Toxitron collection is complete.
Only one I didn't get is Grimlock since I have no desire to double dip on SS86 Dinobots.
Leader prices are too high for repaints especially when I'd be compelled to complete the whole team in G2 colors.
I'd rather get the OS KOs of the PotP team to mod and repaint myself as new characters.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the other G2 Sideswipe (black-and-red) to get an earth mode.

I want that sideswipe, just gotta paint his face silver, since I hate the blue face, but I love the rest of the deco. I don’t even like the sideswipe mold that much but I MUST have this G2 version for the amazing deco and alt mode!

Agreed, the G1 toy head would be a great option.

The fact that people are finding them in high quantity, unlike the velocitron line, mean they are less likely to end up at discount retailers.
WishfulThinking
Grimlock is a solid case pack of 2, IIRC. It's more a matter of if that Walmart just got some or not.

The only problem I have with the G2 line ending up at discount stores is that I got them all for full price, but then again… NO REGERTS!!!

Does anyone make a repro of the sphinx (toy) head for this Mirage? It is easily my preferred design. I'd like the option.

Very true. My hometown Walmart is plentiful of the Toxitron collection while the Walmart near my college has none. I had to drive to a Walmart about 20-30 minutes away just to find them. And I did find them there. It seems that Sidswipe, Dead End, and Grimlock are hard to find. Both Sideswipe and Dead End are short-packaged making it hard to find them. Not sure how many Grimlocks are in a case. But I haven’t seen him.

The two closest to me have never got them at all. Not even one case. I've had to travel to other states to see them.
WishfulThinking
At this point, I think most of the G2 line will end up at a discount retailer (ROSS, Ollie's, TJ Maxx, etc.). Some Walmarts never even carried the line.

If my local Walmarts are any indication, I'll still be seeing flocks of him in 2027. They should've named him Shelfcover with as many of him there are…
Neko-bot77
From what I've seen Cloudcover is going to linger until Walmart gives him the 1/2 off discount

My Walmart has a bunch of Toxitrons and Grimlock that no one wants…and as much as I love the Leader Grimlock mold I'm not sure if I want this one. Got the G1 colors and SG and not sure if the G2 colors really speak to me. As this point I'll get it if he's on sale but if I miss him then I won't shed any tears.

I've seen all of these in store now except Sideswipe who I would like to get since the one from Pule had paint damage on the roof. Seems that was a widespread issue though so may be difficult to get one without the damage.
Vanya
That's the last one I want to get, but I got nothin' that's on your list.
Patrickab7
I have a G2 Crew of Neon(Laser Cycle), Acid Trip(Mirage), and Techno(Jazz).

Did one of y'all grab that Grimlock I posted the listing of on ebay? I hope so
