The episode isnt showing up on my phone's RSS based podcast ap. Can anyone else see it via RSS?

Same problem here. It doesn't appear as though the RSS feed has been updated yet.

Thanks for letting us know. The info was all there but I had this podcast dated to display on the 20th, which is when the next podcast was due to air (my script automatically populates the date to be two weeks after the last podcast, I have to manually change the date if it's a special episode).

I asked Ryan to investigate. Thanks!

Thanks!

I should tell you Ryan that the Time Square TRU rarely has new product like it did during your visit. It also is the most expensive TRU in the area. It's a tourist trap for the folks who can't afford to go to FAO Schwartz.

I beg to differ. That Toys R Us or the FAO Schwartz (which is basically another TRU) always has relatively new products every time I've been there for Toy Fair and for NYCC. The problem you have with a store in that prominent of a location is that other people are getting the good stuff before you get there, and it's kind of a paint to get to unless you live nearby or are visiting. FAO Schwartz has basically the same prices as the Times Square Toys R Us so I'm not sure what you mean by "who can't afford to go", especially since it's free to go to.

I should've said, can't afford to buy anything from FAO. Keep in mind it has a snack bar where you can buy a $125 sundae, I kid you not so it caters to a more money crowd. Going back to the 1980's and since it reopened several years ago FAO has always been $5-$10 more; and since the reopening hasn't carried much if any mainline toys (Transformer, GI Joe, Marvel etc) This might've changed recently as I haven't gone in a while.

Every time someone messages me about going to the Time Square TRU they tell me it's stocked with product that's several months old, at least as it pertains to Transformers and Joe; I can't speak on other lines. The prices I've been quoted are also roughly $4 more than my local TRU's in Douglaston and College Point Queens NY (QUEENS REPRESENT!!!!) Ahem, sorry. Now judging as to when Toy-Fair and NYCC are it's quite possible that's when they do their restock; we'll have to see 3 months from now how it is. I am glad that you were able to find some new stuff as the other guys WOJM? Were quite disappointed that there wasn't any Joe stuff out.

There actually isn't a IDW Spotlight Bumblebee coming out (as of yet), so the reveal of his Deluxe IDW toy is rather unsettling for me as it is just continuing the Bumblebee train. It's because whatever Bumblebee body they are using hasn't been a part of the comics for quite some time (since the previous Ongoing), as he's been rocking the WFC/FOC body in RID 1-13 and even in Spotlight: Thundercracker.

Orion Pax's body, IIRC, was really only shown in Spotlight Orion Pax, and Megatron's alternate mode was only officially revealed comic-wise in this month's Spotlight Megatron. Trailbreaker(cutter) was featured in MTMTE #3 back in March 2012. So the turn around between conception to physical toy molding is a lot faster than I, and I guess alot of other people, think it is. If they are going the path that Bob suggests, that a toy is accompanying every Spotlight, then I think that the Bumblebee toy is simply just occupying Thundercracker's slot.

Good news however if the Spotlight scheme is in fact true, then as the May Solicits show, we are going to get another Hoist, albeit probably a Trailbreaker repaint

So much win in this one.

Hmm... Warbot and Springer in my collection

One word: Brothers
More words: and they do NOT get along.
Wrecker?: they both served, but at different times. The second thinks he was brought in because he looks, fights, and transforms like the first.

That's the wonderful thing about 3rd party figures that homage with unique designs. At first it fills a void, but should Hasbro decide to be awesome (I don't know what they've been smoking this year, but somebody ship them more of it) they are unique enough to take repurposing into another character like a fish to water.

I'm loving the new lines. I haven't decided if I'm going to get Metroplex.
