I've learned to be patient. Most things end up in my area at one point or another. Been hunting today but nothing yet. I'm thinking by the first week of the month I should start seeing new stuff like this.

Legacy took forever to finally get to my Walmart, I'm used to distribution b÷ingredients slow. (But hey I live in ths U.S. so like?)

Possibly, but in this case it's nothing like Origin Bee where it's very niche and only seen in one Episode while Cosmos was in several episodes. So I'm not expecting to be quite as abundant as Bee was towards the end, though I do hope I'm able to find it easier than it is to get a Walgreens Exclusive!

The fortunate aspect of Cosmos is that there shouldn't be any vehicle licensing to worry about so the odds of him being reissued are good.

Scalpers can shove it where the sun don't shine.

I wouldn't compare this to Origin Bee. For a lot of us Walmart didn't restock the Netflix lines after the initial stock so if you missed the popular figures you never saw them. Then there was all the Walmart.com cancelations that just compounded the issue. Smyth's might be getting full cases of Cosmos but it's unlikely Walmart will since they're the ones that wanted him at one per case in the first place. Unfortunately scalpers might be the best way to get him for a lot of people just like Netflix Bumblebee. We'll see, but considering how quickly the Legacy beasts are selling out I'm not particularly optimistic, not in my area anyway.

I did stop by a couple Walmarts today, one of them got a case of Scourge and a case of Override, so they are getting case packs of specific figures. Only time will tell if we see cases of Cosmos come in. Also those Legacy Beasts arnt selling out where I'm at.

Scourge is the only leader so he would be a solid case. Are there mixed cases of Override and Hauler?

In my area the Legacy beasts sell out in about a week after stocking, my local Walmart has restocked 2 times from being completely sold out, there's currently just one Nightprowler and one Sandstorm.

not sure if there are mixed cases for the voyagers, but I did get a look at the shipping box for the Override case and it does specifically say Voyager Override on it

Wow, never realised how the Legacy beasts sell out so quickly over in the US. Here, I see them at work all of the time. We barely seem to be able to get rid of them!

Yeah, they don't last long, at least not in my area. This photo was taken on the 19th:

That's the second restock or third case, all that's left is Sandstorm and Nightprowler. I took this picture because it's the first time I've seen a movie figure at Walmart or Target (outside of BB) since wave 14 (the Sideswipe retool wave) last year. I think my area might just be starved for new figures. Target had six Bulkheads on June 27 (took a picture of that, too), but a few weeks later they were down to one.

I only ever saw the Legacy Beasts once and that was about a week ago. Never saw them before then, never saw them again since. I snagged all three when I did see them that one time, and I went to Walmart again tonight and they were nowhere to be found again.

My Walmart just refuses to get rid of all its Skidses, Arcees, and Bulkheads.

There is supposed to be a mixed Voyager case of 2 Overrides and 1 Hauler, yes, it's been mentioned in the articles.

Still haven't seen any Velocitron stuff in-store yet myself, the only Legacy my Walmart has had for the past few weeks has been a small slowly-decreasing handful of Beasts and a single Core Skywarp. They are clearance-ing out the remaining Cyberverse stuff and the BW reissues though based on when I was there last night, so hopefully that's to make room for the race.

I wonder how long until Pulse fulfills its orders, many of them said tomorrow

I know it's a Walmart exclusive in the states but at least in the UK and, I'm guessing a good portion of Europe, there's a number of retailers who will be carrying them. Smyths have got them now (we've already had restocks of Override and Hauler) and IndemandToys have said they'll have them if they haven't already.
I expect there's going to be quite a decent amount of stock if they're able to get them to a number of UK retailers and the JP releases will likely be like the Netflix stuff which ended up showing on a lot of JP goods stores online.
He may be a challenge to get now, especially from what I hear about Walmarts seemingly poor store distribution but give it a bit and he should be relatively easy to get, surely?
But I guess scalpers are going to scalp and try take advantage of new product just to get that early profit before it becomes easy to get.
Also, while it'll probably come out as a slight repaint or with different accessories in a multipack, I doubt they're going to lock Cosmos behind that exclusive line for good. A lot of people have waited a while for a good new Cosmos it'd make no sense (plus gotta get that mold usage up to make up for the cost of a new mold being made in the first place)

Pretty much this ^

I asked my sister who is wise to these things and she told me that it doesn't pay to ask one of her friends in the UK to try and grab a Cosmos since with shipping it'll be just as bad as getting it from a US-based reseller.

Okay, so I guess I'm a little confused. Is this the ONLY Override we are getting in Legacy or is there going to be a non-exclusive version that will be distributed to other retail chains?

As of right now, the only we know of.

The Velocitron deluxes were dated to ship 8/1/22 from Hasbro Pulse, and that seems to be happening on schedule. The voyagers and Black Convoy are date for 8/31/22, though, so we’ve got a month to go yet.

They've already been spotted at brick and mortar, I'd be shocked if we have to wait that long, though I have no idea how the distribution for the different retailers work.
