    The Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Walmart's The Toxitron Collection Deluxe Class G2 Universe Dead End certainly looks very... bright. Those are danger colors in nature.

    Im not wild about the Stunticons, but Im giving this version of Deadend massive props for the G2 Decepticon logo proudly displayed on his hood.

    All I want from legacy is updates of some of the G2 toys I had. Windbreaker, Eagle Eye, the Cyberjets, Rapido, Afterburner, Windrazor and the classic Dreadwind and Smokejumper.
    Just...give me.

    @MaxM210 Před 9 měsíci +2

    As someone who loves Legacy Menasor, I too find myself tempted to jump in on a potential full G2 set, and too find the primary obstacles to be unknowable retail availability and general desire to cut back on spending.

    I've gotten pretty good at not giving in to the "It's rare!" brain rot. The last time I even had that feeling was back during "The Force Awakens" when everyone wanted a "Black Series" Captain Phasma. I'm genuinely glad I never picked it up, considering how dirty they did that character.

    • @Vangelus

    I absolutely love Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Walmart's The Toxitron Collection Deluxe Class G2 Universe Dead End, he is hands down my favorite release from Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Walmart's The Toxitron Collection. I hope we get the remaining 3 Stunticons somehow!

    I didn't really pay to much attention to him, was more listing to a buddy freak out over finally being able to get Tiger Stripped Grimlock.
    But man, does the paint and decos look great in vehicle mode along with the two blasters on the back.
    Always a sucker for G2 symbols.

    "It's rare, I see one, I can afford it" yeah, that's basically why I got Crasher today. That and I think it's funny my first female decepticon figure was a gobot character.
    (At least, if memory serves me right)

    @GlubberTPodmo Před 9 měsíci +1

    The other day I saw the Velocitron G2 Dragstrip at a Ross for $8. It looked absolutely gorgeous. And I somehow found the strength to walk out of the store without it because I knew I didn't have space for it, that I'd be buying it to immediately stash it in a closet.
    So of course watching this review somehow made me want to go back and see if it was still there. We're sick in the head, all of us.

    The only reason I passed on G2 Deadend was because they didn’t give him a new identity like they did with Shadowstrip. I was on board with the idea of G2 Stunticon clones being made by Jhiaxus but then Hasbro was like “nah”

      But if you want something affordable and give flashback of late 90s, I'd say Year One Legacy Core Class G2 Megatron checks the bill, icing on the cake been basically pocked sized version of 2020 Selects release of Megatron (ER mold dipped in G2 deco).

    I got shadow strip at ROSS for $7.99. I have seen crasher at ROSS and regret not getting her. I am still searching the 3 ROSS in my town for the velocitron speedia collection. So far I have found scourge for $16.99 and shadow strip. I got overide at Ollies for $8.99. I got the original legacy dead end in a xmas 2 pack from wal mart. I got wild rider in another wal mart 2 pack so my stunticon collection is up to 3. I would like to see a Menasor review.

    I love the Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Walmart's The Toxitron Collection, but too decided not to get them due to not being able to collect everything. That being said, Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Walmart's The Toxitron Collection Deluxe Class G2 Universe Dead End does look amazing and quite tempting. If only they all weren’t so hard to get.

    i was very bored by regular style legacy dead end, and my partner let me play with the g2 one i got for them for a bit, and it’s certainly an improvement. the bright colours do a lot, they dont fix his weird legs, but they do help me look past them. well, i still don’t really like him, but my partner does so it’s good he’s going to them instead.

    It took me until they dropped in discount outlets for me to actually run into a Velocitron Shadowstrip. I don't know what the hell is going on with distribution with these guys, where they just never showed up in any of my local Walmarts (and I'm in a fairly big city) but there was still somehow overstock to end up at Ross and the like.
