My FR Pinnacle Rival has replaced my champ Teebirds for my workhorse fairway (still use a Brinster for OS Duties). Super flat so it feels nice in the hand, a decent amount of glide, and super predictable. I really love this disc.

Scoured the interwebs and found (4), first run Pinnacle Rivals. Decided to step away from my 11x Cal Teebird and stock up on a cheaper, more readily available disc. Can't wait to throw these babies!

The non-first runs are nice and flat and awesome too. No need to saddle yourself with the burden of specialty runs at this point...

Welcome to Legacy. I think their Pinnacle plastic is the best in the game (Icon isn't too shabby either!). Patriots in particular feel (and look) just like the really good 11X KC Pro plastic from years ago.
These Legend line Rivals are great. Once they come out with brighter colors, people should be buying these up. The glide is much improved from the Pinnacle line (even though it wasn't that bad).
I like the new Icon plastic, it is very much a stiffer and better feelings Star plastic. Good stuff.

Oh yes. The icon rival is the star teebird that everyone always wanted. Doesn't get any better for a straight fairway.

When will the Legends be available?
This is not true in my experience. Later runs have a dome to them. They have more turn. They fly like a domey star Teebird, not like a flat champ Teebird. I've gotten a couple later runs on the internet, and my local shops are all domed.
Smart to stock up on first runs. As long as you don't lose them, that set will last.

All four of mine (two white, two light blue) are flat as a pancake.

Pretty much all rivals I've seen are flat. I look at them a lot. 
the beefiest I've found are the light snot yellow, 175 and hard as a rock.

speaking to the issue of dome on the rival and how to pick stability, i was in GGGT today and did a thorough inspection of all the rivals to make sure i was right about the OS ones.
it's true; i compared the PLH of the 5-6 pinnacle they had that were sorta yellow, flat, stiff and max weight against all other colors/weights. the PLH was probably a full 1-2 mm higher. there were some that had a bit of dome too; first i've ever really seen that.
you could probably order based on weight and color alone and wind up getting a nice beefy one.
