Find me a CJ and WJ yesterday on my way to the gym at a nearby Target.

My question is the RID suppose to be gear toward "the children" more and if that was the case..why do the figures feel so weak when i transform them like i bout to break them?

I thought i was goin to rip cliff forearms off the at one point and i seating here like I know a child is goin to break this thing trying to transform him for the first time.

Another random rant:

Why do all the bots with swords (beside Megatron) lately have horrible shoulder articulation for example Drift, Any StarScream figure with a sword/blade, and now RID Wheeljack?

Maybe you are just so powerful that the plastic doesn't stand a chance in your forceful grip.

"Toys beware the might of StryderPrime. He knows not the limits of his own strength!"

Really, they're just toys man, cut them some slack.

Maybe you're just expecting too much from a $12 toy.

Back in my day, you could have yourself a full fledged Gestalt for less money than a couple of Crappuccinos at Starbucks.

Still, for the money paid, I'm expecting a bit of durability. My masterpiece Prime is a beast going 5 years strong and it feels brand new.

Not really a fair comparison, given the massive price difference and the fact that you probably don't play with him like a child would.

I think Stryder has a good point. I've only got a couple of the Prime figs so far, but they do feel a lot flimsier than previous lines. Anyone who has the voyager Megatron will know what I mean; he is very light and feels very brittle.

People have been complaining that the figures feel cheap and brittle for years and I just don't see it. Except with Animated, there was some pretty shoddy work there.

I got the same figures last night, and I don't agree with your description at all.
