Did you flip Drag Strip's bottom section forward to reveal the second foot port? Seems to be the right height when you do that.
That totally sounds dirty.

I think its just yours. Toysrus in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec have had the first wave for about a month now. Though always in limited quantity so they do sell out fast.

You can add BC to that list as well.

It's not just you. They're finally showing up here in Iowa. Mostly targets now walmarts are finally getting them. We have 2 toysrus in Des Moines and the only combiner wars figures that they have is one legends Thundercracker.

The spoiler and back end of the car are hinged and fold up over the back wheels revealing a hidden 5mm port for the foot. This makes his leg mode the same height as everyone else.It Is Him wrote:I was thinking about Defensor and his limbs. For Wave 1, Drag Strip is noticeably taller than guys like Alpha Bravo, so it's kinda awkward to have Drag Strip as anything else other than an arm. What's going to happen when we get Blades, Streetwise and First Aid, who initially show up as repaints in Wave 1 and Wave 2. Are Streetwise and First Aid going to be the same height as Fireflight, Sky Dive, and Blades, or was Drag Strip just a fluke?
EDIT:pardon the redundancy of post.

Nailed it. Thanks guys!

This is it, the final member of the Aerialbots, and the final limb for Superion. Air Raid is probably my favorite limb since the jet mode reminds me of the Skystriker from GI Joe. Transformation is very similar to the rest of the team right down to the fantastic hinged leg joints. If you're a fan you've probably already have this figure on order, hope it comes to you real soon.

If it's on their robot mode butts, then it's to allow one to attach the toys to display stands that allow the toys to be posed dynamically in midair.Thadicon wrote:Can any one tell me what this post hole is for?

Considering that we are getting some all-new non-traditional combining robots here... People like Cyclolus and Prime and Alpha Bravo...
Considering that they aren't locking themselves just into 'the way they should be...' and thinking outside the box....
I can not express how much I would LOOOOOOOVE to see the original Dinobots show back up. Slag, Swoop, Grimlock, Sludge, and Snarl as a 5-bot combiner...
I don't know what their big bot form would look like...
But I REEEEEALY want to see this happen!!!

I'm gonna go back into my imagination and keep working them till they are both A) cool, and B) non-psychopathic and needing to be put down...

Actually starting this year I'm not focusing on articulation since I've noticed many a great toy being derided because it can't move like a master Yogi.

Yeah, its weird. I'm in Toronto, and the TRU is at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton, a pretty major area. It might just be that they are getting such limited quantities in that I keep getting screwed. I have seen (and bought) Silverbolt, and then I saw Optimus, Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly once each, and not at the same time either, but didn't have the ability to get them. And ever since I got my Silverbolt its been high-and-dry. It doesn't help though that the store still has a glut of AOE deluxes and Voyagers and Leaders they keep putting on ever cheaper clearance, and oddly a Predaking from Prime that just sits there on the shelf all alone.

LEADER CLASS FIGURES
to be discussed in new thread, to ensure a tidier conversation about the combining toys versus the ones that simply belong in the same line.

[edit]Sniped by albnok. I'm with you on this feeling. I realize I could just purchase the comics from my comic shop, but the completionist in me is not liking this... I'll prolly buy two sets of Wave 1...

But then again, I've done so because I'm holding out for Takara's Superion instead.
Though, it is weird that the issues aren't Combiner Wars ones and are instead from pre-Dark Cybertron RID.

Yup, it's been confirmed by Hasbro the first assortments lacked the comics (well, used the multilingual packaging for the US instead of the English-only one) due to production timing issues.

The weird part to me is the "pre-Dark Cybertron" part. I doubt IDW would want Wave 2 to have CW issues, as that would mean that things planned to come out in April (Windblade CW 2, and RiD CW2) could hit in March as pack-ins. However, why they don't have say, TF/xRiD 35-38 which directly lead into CW, I'm not sure.

They should let us trade in the cards for comics or something.

My guess is that the Prowlestator/Megatron combination beginning of story is essentially seen as the seeding of Combiner Wars in general. It is the reason that Starscream wants Superion active again, and Devastator!Prowl is essentially the reason for the entire thing going down after all.
But, just a guess.

Well, Rodimus is going to make a lot more sense like that. Looks good.

Okay so just so I get somethings on the straighter end of the spectrum. Is the first wave going to be re-released for them to have the proper comics for US distribution, instead of the cards for international retail.?

More like the figures carried over from Wave 1 into the next will have the comics. Remember, while we denote only the new figures, later assortment will mix in older figures as well.

The pack-in comics are reprinted IDW comics of the Combiner Wars storyline, yes.

Sorry for the joke Scotty. While I personally don't believe in spoilers I know a ton of people on the net do and when it comes to views I can't afford to piss anybody off. Also I'm not 100% sure reading/showing the comic in a video is ok due to copyrights and all.
