During this big week of reveals at SDCC, we do have some fun news for new toys found at retail. Fellow Podcast star Scotty P has found the latest Mincon 4 pack at retail. This 4-pack includes: Dragonus, Bashbreaker, Lancelon, and Lord Doomitron. The individual weapon minicons have only been found in the UK so far and this 4 pack was only available online so this is the first taste of the weapon Minicons for the Americans who wait to find these toys at retail. These were found at a Target in Cary, NC for $16.99 Let us know if ever you come across the individual weapons!

And for that matter, is there an ETA yet for the actual RiD Scorponok as seen at SDCC?
There is no release date for Paralon in the US, it will come when it comes.
The ETA for RID Scoropnok is from 1-2 months (maybe even earlier, but not later). It was already been released elswhere : http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ail/35657/
Thank you!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Scottyp, we have confirmation that wave 8 of the Transformers: Robots in Disguise legion class has hit US retail, more specifically, in Raleigh, NC! The figures Scott spotted were as follows: Ratchet (in new packaging), Blizzard mode Drift, and Groundbuster (not pictured). Check out the image Scotty has provided down below, and check out Seibertron's galleries of the other RID Legion figures.

I found single carded Back and Ransack yesterday. There's a problem, though, I found Back at TJ Maxx and Ransack at Marshalls, they're already at close out! Nuts! I blame Ghostbusters 
! Really, though, i wonder what happened. I am glad someone found the 4 pack at Target.

Hello Seibertronians! We've got another Robots in Disguise sighting for you today, this time of the 5th wave of deploy-able Minicons! Coming from user Counterpunch, just after ScottP sighted some RID legion figures a few days ago. These little figures, consisting of Ransack, Glacius, and Scortch-strike Jetstorm, were all found in Metaire, Louisiana at Marshall's for $6.99! Take a look at the image Counterpuch provided below, and then check out Seibertron's galleries of the rest of the RID minicons here!

Wait, there was a wave three in stores? I never seen anything other than one and two. That was only just a week or two ago as well. I've seen the four packs though but not any of the singles. I'd rather they just keep releasing them in singles though as I actually like the translucent armor and weapons and the four packs only have those for two of them.

Wave 3 and 4 were both found at merket six stores like Ross and Marshalls.
The bigger stores sold off their inventory probably due to the line's weaponizer rebranding which these minicons are not a part of.

I pretty regularly check Ross, TJ Maxx, Big Lots and Marshalls and haven't seen any of these from any wave. Last week I had the opportunity to check a 5 below and a DD's Discounts and still nothing. The best I've found in months was the five step Megatronus Toys R Us exclusive at a Ross that I left on the shelf because I didn't want it.

After the in-hand images we saw a while back for the two new Warrior class figures in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line - Scorponok and Windblade - we also have two video reviews for the Decepticon and Autobot, courtesy of tfrWLDNAS on YouTube in his post Roll Out Roll Call haul look. Check them out embedded below!

I picked up a warrior class Thunderhoof yesterday, somewhere here in North Carolina east of Topsail Beach, and I seem to have a problem with him. Honestly, it could be user error, but I can't get his legs to snap in properly when transforming him to alt mode. Any help would be appreciated.
The exact issue is in snapping his tractor cab together.

Well dang Iron! I just transformed him because I wanted to help you out, but he just went right together.
I remember having a similar issue the first couple of times I TFed him too. Is it the main tabs that hold his legs together that are giving you trouble?

Talking about horrid QC/QA. That would definitely make it hard for it to come together. Is the best thing taking it back to the store for a refund or swap of a possible defective one again or would it be better in contacting Hasbro with it?

Nope. Bought it while traveling on vaca, and tossed the receipt with other travel trash. Ah well, guess he stays in robot mode.
Kinda in between legends and deluxe size.

So basically the size of the old Cyberverse Commander class, but with 5mm hands.
So close to having the old Basic/Scout class size back.

I saw warrior class Grimlock (G1 paint) on the pegs for the first time and I was surprised when I saw the back of the package. I'm sorry if this has been brought up multiple times before but I'm not a fan of this line at all but what I saw got my attention really.
Will we see a Takara release of Grimlock with those awesome shine paint apps? Thanks in advance.

Poor neglected RID.
John Warden (or the guy interviewing him) even forgot it existed (as they did Rescue Bots too) in the recent Forbes interview.
Well I say interview more like a press release pretending to be an interview.

I'm loving Beastbox. Dragonus, Slipstream, and Divebomb are alright but maaan Beastbox is a dangerously awesome little ape. The lack of articulation doesn't even bother me. Buying these 4 unlocked the need to get more mini-cons. Definitely gonna have to pick up the ones that turn into weapons. Might even need to fill in the gaps of the first couple waves so I can make the shark and lion energy beasts.

Technically, there are no actual toys of Forth yet. See the following for an explanation of the confusion:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:william-james88 wrote:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:william-james88 wrote:D-Maximus_Primal wrote:I am so sad for the toyline. Those minis ended up at TJMAxx and such? Damn. and then finding these guys is so hard anywhere and the distribution sucks. I really want these guys, but just can't find them!
The molds of most minis were available in other ways right? Like Hammer is with Crazybolt and Back is with Battlepack Grimlock. And the others are in that 4 pac with weapon slipstream. If one skips wave 3 and 4, is tehre a mold that we wouldnt have?
It's not that I want different molds, it's that I want to finish the minicon pairs. I want forth to go with my back, I want Swelter and Glacius so I have that pair, and I need Ransack to go with Backtrack, so it's more me finishing the show minicon pairs
Arent Back and Forth the same toy though? Do you have pics to show the differences between them?
I have the Back that came with Grimlock, I want the individual Forth since the paint jobs are reversed basically

Back's Wiki article wrote:Prior to the toy's release, there was quite a bit of confusion regarding single-packed Back's name. Some online retailers initially solicited the figure under the names "Decepticon Backfire" or "Kickback". Whilst the figure was subsequently named as just "Decepticon Back" in official Hasbro solicitations, stock photos of the toy in packaging and in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, further confusion arose when the figure's North American packaging sported the name "Decepticon Forth", as did the listing on the official Hasbro.com website. International releases, including Hong Kong, Australia and Europe, still sport the "Back" name. Eventually both versions were even found side by side at the same store in the US… and then Hasbro released a Mini-Con Mega-Pack sporting an unchanged re-release of the figure, again named "Decepticon Forth". With the Robots in Disguise cartoon having presented Forth as a very different-looking character, this wiki currently treats that name for the figure as an error, though we can't help but notice that Hasbro seems to keep quite literally going back and forth with the figure's name.
Forth's Wiki article wrote:For reasons unknown, the North American packaging of Back's single-packed toy labels him as Forth, which led to a whole heap of confusion between the characters until their cartoon debut.

I mean this dragon right here? This looks awesome. Give us a toy of this dragon, Hasbro!

Dunno what's taking Hasbro so long to get on the ball with making an actual Forth toy that isn't just Back with Forth's name.D-Maximus_Primal wrote:I just want a second one so I have the pair

Well I got Warrior Class Windblade, Scorponok & Power Surge Optimus Prime - pleasingly quickly in the UK - now the question is will the Legion Class, One steps and Minicons show up too.
I only rarely see Minicons for sale and frankly they cost to much at £7.00 each. (especially with the lack of paint and lack of Articulation in them).
They are more like a £4.50 price toy. The gift sets are much better value - so hopefully some of them will show up - i do think it's a shame though that they didn't keep the parts frame on all versions as it would be nice to get the accessory parts in enough colours to make multiple coloured lion/sharks.
Hopefully more stuff will begin to show up after September.

I thought the UK was up to date on minicons. Kurona reported seeing weapon dragonus months ago. Those still haven't shown up in north America yet.
