Thanks Billy-Jim!


Edit: HA! Charles even says he's not like Cliff in the review.

I find the cyberverse Ironhide mold to be pretty legendary too. It's as complex as a deluxe figure and, through sheer will, gets to have the clear chest panel actually be the front of the truck. That transformation amazes me everytime.

I've got the Trailcutter version of that figure, and the transformation is pretty cool. The truck pegs together quite nicely. The wonky head and the goofy forearms ruin it a bit though.

I prefer Trailcutter as well. Ironhide was a bit of a floppy mess, Trailcutter held together a bit better.

Were you talking about Legion Sideswipe or Legion Cliffjumper? The answer is yes to both.

I just recently found the Huffer version, he makes the cut.

I know. Look up!

Thanks for the reviews. Ya know Chuck, I really appreciate your love for the small and simple TFs. They are really under valued sometimes.

I think it has to do with nostalgia; as a child it was always easier to get a few of the smaller figures then a larger one. Also as a reviewer I tend to make my money back faster due to the lower price point.

Dang it! I've passed on that Huffer/Trailbreaker mold many times because of the goofy face. Maybe I will run into one of them at TJ Maxx again...

I think Amazon has Huffer cheap

Confirming some of the speculations started from the Transformers: Robots in Disguise app, online retailers Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store have listed pre-orders for waves 5 and 6 of the One-Step subline, plus a Three-Step Change Sideswipe toy too.

There is currently very little information about the waves other than the titles and the provisional July release date, but follow the links above to find out more yourselves!

About $12, maybe one day I will need a filler to get free shipping. That mold isn't that high on my want list. CW and RID are kicking the bejezus out of my wallet right now anyway.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll put him on the back burner considering how.much you guys are talking him up.

If any of you find that Transformer prices have gotten quite expensive, fellow Seibertronian Carytheone has some good news for those who want some Robots in Disguise warrior figures:

K mart in New Iberia, LA. Not sure if just local or if nationwide. The price of Warrior Class are $9.99.

What is most interesting here is that this isn't a sale but instead a price drop.

And here in Australia we're still paying $30 AUD apiece.

We're paying 20$ in canada. It's come to the point where both for me and you, we might as well just order the takara stuff from amiami.

Also, since I just listend to the Nenemis podcast episode, I am sure J0n is super thrilled to hear K Mart has a great price drop on TFs.

if my k-mart actually had transformers anymore this would make me happy.

It's because they're not selling all that well, probably. Stuff that doesn't move gets discounted until it DOES start moving. Sadly, the RID line just doesn't have the heart that the TFA figures had. It may be only my opinion, but I just don't care much for them.

Speaking of the one-step changers

Fracture, that is all.

will walmart price match this?

Megatron Wolf wrote:will walmart price match this?

That's a very good question. I live in NYC so Walmart isn't allowed here but from what I know as long as the item is sold and shipped by Amazon they should do it.

Megatron Wolf wrote:will walmart price match this?

From my understanding, only if it's in an ad.

Welp, now I need to pay my local Kmart a visit...

They only price match if it's in a flyer. They wont even price match online prices with me.

They will if you're firm

Wonderful. Too bad that most of the K-Marts in my area have closed down. Not a real big issue for me since there are only two figures from this line that I have any interest in but I would be inclined to snatch them up right away at this price if I didn't have to drive so far out of my way to get to a K-mart that may or may not be running them at this price. Still, it's a good deal for those who are in a much better position than myself to take advantage of it.

The K-Mart by me hasn't had any "real" transformers since they clearanced out the AOE stuff, just stuff like hero mashers.

I noticed something that that low quality pic didn't show well. This is a temporary price drop until 5/30.

Better start strong arming those other retailers sooner than later.

Smart, I didnt catch that! Now I am wondering why they call it a price drop and not just a sale.
