Me too! No email notification, no update on my account, no billing on my CC. It just showed up random like that.

That's what I REALLY don't get. WalMart keeps RESTOCKING wave 1 legacy and the sweep/wreck-gar ss86 wave, along with the velocitron voyagers.

Like... huh? Distro has been lousy for years, sure. But why six months later are they just getting the same boxes? Why ALL these Haulers and Overrides, but a single, maybe two hits of the velocitron deluxes and scourge? Why a billion Bulkheads, and nothing else?

Wave 2 Legacy has FINALLY started at WalMart in recent weeks so maybe whatever damn clog has been there is ending.

But this is really why I just preorder everything I can from GameStop now, or get it from A3U/Toy Snowman.

Yep distribution is horrible. I've never seen it this bad ever. Dufferin Walmart is finally empty of legacy and studio series except a wreck gar and sweep and 2 legacy buzzsaws. I'm hoping they finally restock with wave 2 and 3. Walmart major Mack 400 is absolutely horrible. Wave 1 legacy and tons of sweeps and wreck gars. Nothing has changed in months. Apart from the constant ss86 sludges that have been selling well, and new edition of galaxy shuttles

What is going on with their distribution? I got wave 2 legacy deluxes, but have yet too see blitzwing and jhiaxus let alone wave 3. Places in some countries are getting evolution!! What a joke. All I see are legacy wave one and studio series sweeps

So this is the trend of TRU's distribution a few years back with Titans Return.

WM would get all the newest waves first, and TRU got them later, and usually the first couple of waves in so much quantity, and getting the later waves in much smaller quantities, and sometimes none at all.

Now it seems WM has that spot with a glutton of the first couple of waves, and maybe a trickling of later waves.

I'm presuming that WM orders from Hasbro Canada directly, while the independent stores and GameStop get them from a different distributor.

TRU seems to be second tier, getting it much, much later, and in smaller quantities, if they're getting it from Hasbro distribution.

I am suspecting wave 2 won't show up at my local WM until after boxing week.



Then they somehow will skip to Legacy Evolution wave 1.



(My God, my cousin in Asia already has Legacy Evolution Tarn & Leo Prime from his local Toyrus...and playing with them.)

Djc collectibles has wave1 evolution in --- GameStop seems to get things in just a bit after smaller shops. Hopefully soon!

Extra skip shifts for me

A few deluxes currently on sale. Clicking on them makes the sale vanish for the most part, so add what you want to your cart through the catalog page.

^ nice find! Are they perhaps lower early for Boxing Day?
