When Hasbro announced Wildrider, I cancelled my order for Offroad, since I'd rather have the original team. Now I'm hearing a rumor that he's going to be a limited release--can someone confirm this?

Brake-Neck (Wildrider) and Quickslinger (Slingshot) will not be general retail, instead they'll be released through "emerging channels". That basically means they could appear in any smaller, or online store that carries toys. Right now, there are pre-orders available for the both of them as a set.

I don't think they will be very hard to find online, so not sure I'd give up that easy. I just wouldn't expect them in your local Walmart, Target, or TRU is all.
