Interesting find at CVS pharmacy

Postby GuyIncognito » Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:22 am

Went into local CVS to pick up a Rx yesterday. I always check the toy aisle just to see if they have anything.

They had a bunch of DOTM deluxes, including Air Raid! I haven't seen Air Raid at ANY other stores. But I still didn't buy it because it looks like crap. If not for the packaging, I would have thought it was a cheap knock-off "Converter" toy or something. Do you think this figure was designed by an intern or something? Maybe a kid got to design a figure as a Wake-A-Wish Foundation thing? Did Hasbro recognize how awful this figure was only AFTER they had manufactured them, and maybe that's why they didn't distribute them to retailers?

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the retarded green Hasbro DOTM Air Raid, not the awesome Takara DOTM Air Raid.

I personally saw it once at Target, but like you, never interested in picking him up. I think he should be canceled, not HA and deluxe Soundwaves.

The only bad thing about the figure is the flail arm and even that can be fun at times. He has an interesting transformation and excellent alt mode. Highly under rated.

picked him up a while ago and have to agree between the color and bot mode he is rather underwhelming not to mention that sad excuse for a radar dish/weapon.
then again thats what i get for making an impulse buy. >:oP

I always wanted Air Raid, but whenever I saw a Wave 5 figure it was either Darksteel or Armor Topspin....

Damn repaints :(

I personally love this figure. Picked it up back in October of 2011 using a half of coupon. For $5 he's awesome. For full price he's still a great figure. Saw on more last week at the target got my first air raid at. In package it looks like crap, but once it's out of the box he's a sturdy plane with a pretty cool robot mode.

Taken entirely on it's own merits, it's not an awful mold. It's a plane that turns into a slightly retro-looking robot with a gladiator vibe. I think most of what this figure's missing is a rationale for its existence. That is, why do we have a retro robot with a gladiator vibe in the DOTM line? What's the story there? It seems like there ought to be one. (And I bet if there had been a good one, this figure would be commanding premium prices on the secondary market.)

It doesn't help that this figure occupies a distribution slot that could have been had by Soundwave or Que. That makes it kind of a kick in the nads to DOTM collectors (in North America, at least).
