Dare I say? New toys out at US retail again!
TFW 2005 member gunman_sr5 first reported here having found wave 1 of the Classic Legends toys, namely Leo Prime, Perceptor, Fireflight and Trypticon, at his local Meijer store, and Transfan2 provided the corresponding photos. So most likely, these toys will have the same distribution pattern as their "Legends of Cybertron" precedessors already did, which means they will be mostly available at smaller stores and pharmacies such as ShopKo, Kohl's or Toys n' Joys.
Just for the record, Leo Prime is a repaint of Legends of Cybertron Leobreaker in the colors of the Japanese exclusive Beast Wars II Lio Convoy; Perceptor is a repaint of LoC Red Alert done up as G1 Perceptor; Trypticon is a repaint of LoC Scourge done up as G1 Trypticon; and Fireflight is a repaint of LoC Jetfire that was originally intended as an homage to G1 Powerglide, but because Hasbro couldn't secure the trademark, they decided to change the colors and named him "Fireflight" instead.
As always, remember to report your own sightings of "Classic Legends" Leo Prime here, sightings of Perceptor here, sightings of Trypticon here, and sightings of Fireflight here.
