Fellow Seibertronian Cobotron has spotted both Robots in Disguise Warrior Drift and Optimus Prime in a Target in Omaha, NE today for $14.99. He took a picture of the Drift he purchased along with the proof of purchase. Now that these are available in stores, if you are wodnering if they are worth picking up, we recently put up galleries of the two figures and a review of Drift is also available.

Wave 2 One Step Changers are out too. Has that been front paged? Picked up Fixit in MD today.

Because Prime ran over my dog.
You know I have a don't "over Prime" rule right? I have RID Legion and Combo Wars, so I'm approaching my yearly quota already, and it's only February.
He was there though. They had 2 of each. Prime does look cool.

You made the right choice. Drift is the best Warrior class figure thus far, and in contention to be one of the best figures of the year. It might sound strange but I find the Hyperchange Prime more enjoyable.

Grimlock looks good but is a junky toy (at least the one I got). Our old friend Chuckdawg did a good review on Drift here, so I thought I'd give him a try.

I gotta agree with you Chuck, this guy is the one to get. He reminds me alot of Cybertron Hot Shot, but with way better arms. And legs for that matter.
His Alt mode is super cool. It's very Tron like.

Seibertron podcaster ScottyP was able to find the 2nd wave of 1-Step figures at a Target in Cary, NC. He was able to confirm Grimlock and Steeljaw however this wave also contains Fixit. You can always send your new retail finds to Sightings@Seibertron.com. Be sure to include a picture like ScottyP did.
If you don't want to wait on these to show up in your neck of the woods, they are also now available on Amazon.com. Click on the links to see the listings.

Drift is the perfect example of what the Warrior class can be; solid, movable figures with a simple Transformation.
Have mine coming on Monday.

Grimlock is actually pretty clever. Steeljaw is ok, but I really dislike that he has 0 articulation. Absolutely none. Most of these guys at least let you move an arm or something.

Warrior. It has its problems, but still the most satisfying Grimlock. Though I like the size of the 3-Step "Hyperchange" one and it has a cool transformation. If you don't mind a brick I'd actually say that one.

Cobotron, care to give your detailed take on Warrior Grimlock?
Also, the statement about Steeljaw having no articulation was referring to which class?

Well, but only 'cause you axed.
I think that Grimlock's charater design is really great. The whole design of the show looks good to me. The figure is a really good representation of that design in both modes. The paint apps are actually slightly better than I've seen on some generations figures lately. He is well articulated for a simplified design, and can hold some good poses. Transformation is fast, fun, and easy.
My problems are mostly with his construction. I'm comparing him to Drift right now. there isn't a single screw used, unlike Drift. He is completely pined together, and sloppily at that. The biggest problem is he has a lame elbow. the elbows are on these newer style ratchets that feel really cheap. His right one dangles and doesn't stay where I try to put it, but when I move it, it tightens up to the point where it feels like it will snap. also the shoulders feel flimsy. Lastly, it's hard to explain, but the way his tail trans forms is sketchy. The panels slide out on these long posts. Those things, if not handled with care are going to break.
I said a couple pages back about Strongarm, that she felt like she could withstand anything a 6 year old could put her through, not Grimlock. He's the one that's going to break. I like the idea that he doesn't need a weapon because he's bad a$$ dino brawler, but like shajaki said, he should of at least come with a sword. For $16 ($20 CAD)I totally agree.
Maybe I just got a lemon. I don't know. The hard pill to swallow with all these guys, is the price versus the quality. Drift feels much more stable, even more than Strongarm. Maybe some tooling and manufacturing improvements were made for wave 2.
I'm still more excited about this show and toy line than I originally thought, and I'm really lookig forward to the minicons.

everything you said about grim is spot on, and unfortunately i dont think you got a lemon as mines like that too
it sucks cause if he's a fun little guy, but i can only recommend him at a lower price.

i really need a fix. RID are popping up almost everywhere, and theres only so many times i can pick up strongarm, carry her around for 10 minutes, and then put her down before leaving.
TAV cannot some out fast enough.
(and i just double checked if the differences were enough to make me wait... dammit they are)

Yeah, Strongarm's definitely the main one I'm gonna wait to get the Takara version instead of the Hasbro version, even if the other three also have some minor show-accurate improvements in their Takara versions as well.

To quote James Brown, "I got ant's in my pants and I need to dance. some big fine Mama come an' gimme a chance!"
I would wait. Fine Mama is worth it.

Where's the petition to sign for "I actually give a crap about this toyline"? I just don't have much to say right now. I don't own any of the toys yet, because I can't justify $15-17 for the ones I've run into, and I'm waiting for the show to premiere in the states to watch it. Call me old-fashioned.

Well, it's a stretch saying I really don't give a crap about this line but on a tight budget and a geewun centered collection RID does not impress me enough. To me they look 'okay' to 'decent'. So far Thunderhoof only really looks nice enough to want to own.

I got the one-step changers today (Sunday) and I can tell you they're rather fun. I know 99% of collectors pass on these but the growth from wave 1 to wave 2 is fantastic. Steeljaw can move its arms and stand quite well, then again the entire car hood is the tail!

For me, the only Japanese releases I'll be getting are Bumbelebee and Strongarm. Drift, Grimlock, Fixit, and especially Sideswipe are nice enough in the states.
