"Heroes At Play" almost sounds like it might be a name for a line of role-play toys, like costumes and Nerf-type guns.

When I search for "heroes at play" + hasbro I get a bunch of kiddie looking super heroes.

This was the only TF looking thing I could find - which looks old to me so I think that what we are getting is not exactly this pic.

It's probably something similar to "Play skool heroes". I do hope it is a nerf gun rather than bad looking mini figs that don't do anything.

I am actually surprised that a line without Decepticons has gone on this long. Not that I'm complaining, of the few episodes I've seen they actually come up with some pretty creative disasters.

Well, it is over in the Playskool aisle with all the toys that don't need bad guys. Preschool toys in general seem to get along well enough if they prove fun enough for the young'uns.

Yeah. Can't really argue with that.

I got that Fire Station on Prime Day not realizing how big it was. Had assumed it'd come with a cool new animal Targetmaster but it didn't. That said, it's actually super fun, and worth it just for the ground bridge.

Hey Seibertronians! A bit of Rescue Bots news for you tonight. We saw it at Comic Con, we saw it online, but for some reason no one had seen the Rescue Bots Griffin Rock Fire House Playset at a brick and mortar store!. But wait no longer! It's been spotted by Yours truly at the Council Tree Target in Fort Collins, Colorado. Check it out below!

What are your thoughts on this plays at? Does that cool spacebridge sway your opinion one way or another? Have you already seems this at retail? Let us know below!

I just want the Spacebridge

The Fire House is in the new UK Argos catalogue and a few other UK online listings too. but as it costs £50.00 i'll wait for a sale since the boat got reduced to £15.00 I'll wait a bit.

I'm very disappointed that the large Playsets do not come with more articulated figures and and Transforming pet-figure just to make them more appealing.

I think adding articulation is a good reason to make people buy the characters again. and the lack of joints does limit them a bit compared to the previous (pre-cartoon) stuff

Does anyone remember one of the toy shows they showed a reissue of the previous larger Rescue bots (not the smaller ones) I remember noticing as it was the 1st time there had been chase that size with the blue colouring that didn't have the clear pieces as well.

Did they ever get released at retail. ?

Though i'd ask as this boxed set reminded me.

-----------

As for the above set if they are just repacks it's likely cheaper to buy the Rescue bots in the two for £15.00 deals for a UKSTER

I saw this at Target probably a month ago in Dallas, TX.

They were spotted in Asia, but nowhere else as far as I can tell.
