I just got a shipping soon notice for the deluxes from Pulse too
Inferno still says February on BBTS for me. Maybe I didn't get my order placed in time for the first shipment.
Inferno's waiting in my PoL on BBTS. Here's hoping something else hits my PoL soon.
As for Pulse, I've also gotten notification that the Deluxes are likely to ship soon.

As I mentioned I've got 1 Inferno in my POL, but the second one I ordered a few days after hasn't dropped yet. Seems they really do prioritize by order date.
Steevy - any evidence to back up the solid case thing? I only question it because that was never the case previously, no pun intended. BBTS was always beholden to case assortments hence why shortpacked stuff sold out quick and typical peg warmers remained. We did hear reports of Cosmos shipping in full cases overseas, but he's an exclusive.

Hasbro has been doing the solid case thing since AT LEAST 2015. It was one of the earliest things they did in their big collector initiatives. They made a big fuss about it during their investor reports.
Specialty retailers have the option of ordering solid cases of most active collector items. It's the reason we've seen the "short packed premium" all but disappear in specialty retailers.
Pulse has charged me for TM2 Megatron and Armada Starscream. Odds are good the Deluxes will soon follow.
Legacy has been rather Decepticon-heavy for me, as far as my collecting has gone. My three most recent acquisitions are Galvatron, RID Scourge, and Jhiaxus.
As far as setting them up goes, well, it probably won't matter, but I'm kind of curious how these guys would rank together in terms of Autobots vs. Decepticons.
Scourge seems like a solid #3 in any case, but now I'm trying to figure who would stand out as the more dominant personality, Galvatron or Jhiaxus?

Got Starscream. He's absolutely lovely. Still waiting on notification for Inferno, but I did get charged for TM2 Megs. I'm hopeful he'll be here early next week.
Got all of the new deluxes save Crankcase, who was pushed back a couple of weeks. That's disappointing as he's the one I looked forward to the most. I had his G1 toy and have a few of his other namesakes. I like the cranky little guy.

So, has anyone found a Legacy Minerva in the wild, yet? (Besides the ones that were mis-shipped to a Walmart and the Hasbo Pulse Premium early access)
I have checked 6 of the 8 Walgreens near me, and only 1 even has Deluxe TFs, but they are Kingdom wave 2+3. They were in the seasonal aisle on a temporary 4-way display, so I kind of assume that's where Minerva will show up when she does, but the general lack of anything at most stores has me wondering. The walgreens website turns up nothing every time I check, too.

Found a Minerva at the local GameStop last week, but being in Canada, I don't think that counts...
Minerva might finally be showing up online. Listing showed up, but out of stock at the moment.
I generally have pretty good luck finding the Walgreen's exclusives in the wild (there are about 6 on my way to work alone). That said, I really haven't ventured into b&m stores much this year, so I'll definitely be interested if she does show up as "in stock" on the website.
I never had an issue until last year. Never saw Red Alert in stores. Wasn't too concerned because I didn't want Red Alert, but when I found out it was Minerva this year, I became a little more apprehensive about that luck. Since she's at least acknowledged on the website now, I'm at least hopeful we'll all get a chance to get her if we want her.
