This newsie is happy to report a new retail sighting from the Transformers Legacy toyline. Found at my local Target here in Albuquerque today was Core class Scarr! No sign of his wave mate and fellow Dinobot, Swoop. But, the repackaged Kingdom Core class Starscream was on the pegs.
Update: Swoop spotted by 2005 Boards members all are dead and The_Barry at a target in Columbus, Ohio.

Our favorite Robots In Disguise have scanned a new delicious alternate mode! Milk’s favorite cookie, Oreo! These were released today at grocery stores in Peru as reported by Transformers Peru Facebook. While they don’t feature any crazy Oreo limited edition flavors, the cookies themselves feature Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal and Terrorcon symbols on them! As of right now, these may only be available in Peru, but hopefully other countries will follow.
Now the question remains, if these Oreo cookies were a limited edition flavor, what would they be flavored as? Energon? Kremzeeks? Beryllium Baloney? Sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Thanks to 2005 Board member Notomos for dropping in and sharing his find of Studio Series deluxe Age of Extinction Crosshairs and The Last Knight Hot Rod. These two were fulfilled by online retailers some time ago, but had not been found at brick and mortar until now.
Notomos found both figures at his local Wal-mart in South Dakota.

Some new listings on Amazon Australia have revealed two possible new Core class Studio Series figures from the Rise of the Beasts film. 1st up is Arcee, scaled to Core class to accommodate her motorcycle mode presumably. The other figure is a bit more interesting. Apparently the name of the figure is Terrorcon Freezer and he can attach to other figures with a weapon mode.
Update: Upscaled images added.
