Me too, but it wasnt complete and you can see his rhino head detached from his back and turned into an "accessory". The person has been reported. Shouldnt be too hard to track since we know it happened between yesterday and today and the person had to be at the service desk to get the exchange, so they can review the camera footage.

Wait... toy swappers can actually get reported? How about prosecuted for theft or even fraud?

Its shoplifting, they can get reported to the store with the staff being informed not to take returns from that person anymore. Not sure if they can get the cops involved. Canada might be different than the US.

That right there is absolute definition of a-hole right there. I hate people like that

In other news, got some more of the weapon type Mini-cons in the latest four pack. They're really cool, don't sleep on these. The Dragonus remolding as well as the Hammer guy are really, really fun.

Did you find them yet?

I'm not sure if I should laugh or be annoyed.

Though I did once see some WWE figs repacked. We found Kofi Kingston in a Randy Orton box... I wish I had a pic it was such an epic fail.

Same. At least you know it'll be twice as much fun to own.

Ratbat and Sandsting are finally out in my area. I might have to pick them up.

Considering 'if' you think Warrior Optimus' Legs are on wrong then it's kind of amazing than they can remould the toy and yet still put the legs on wrong too.

I wouldn't mind that revised mould in the sandy deco of that sort of Thunderclash like Colour scheme the legion two pack one had heck even blue wouldn't be to bad - especially if Takara did it like that.

I wouldn't mind some more blue stuff - like Drift - just for the sake of constancy. (regardless of what is or was in the show itself).

As I've still not watch it so I'm not basing any interest on that element of the toyline on the TV show.

As for Quillfire's Repaint - I guess the head could be altered to look more like the new look by painting over the eyes and painting new ones on lower and repainting his lower jaw red.

I have a quaestion about the RID minicons. Especially the "balls" ones. What are the conectors to plug them in a RID figure? Are they the standard Unicron Trilogy minicon ports, or do they use some oddballs connectors?

There are no connectors in the US. Only the Takara versions have connectors. You cant connect the US ones to any warrior figure.

So, the Takara minicons have the unicron trilogy connectors? Or are you telling that the Takara RID '15 figures have special connectors that will use whatever holes happen to be in a RID minicon?

The Transformers Robots in Disguise One-Step Changers Advanced Optimus Prime and Strongarm have been popping up in stores in the US. If any of you are mildly interested in knowing what is new or different about this One Step Optimus Prime toy, compared to the previous Target Exclusive one, we have a review for you below courtesy of Chuckdawg1999. To compare and contrast, we also have the review for last year's Optimus Prime One Step toy which is still only obtainable by buying the target exclusive set of Robots in Disguise One Step figures.

Please note that the reviewer does mistaken the two figures, which are indeed different molds entirely, but these videos still serve as a great way to see the toys and how they may compare.

Oh, so they are just standard 5mm pegs added on the Takara minicons. Thanks! For what I want to do, I guess I'll have to import some.

The balls and torpedoes can actually peg onto deployer overload's shoulders, if that interests you

I thought so but I don't want to buy that toy twice. Instead, I ordered the TAV44 Sideswipe and Bumblebee with minicons 4 pack.



The Takara minicons have a 5mm peg added and will be perfect for the custom I wanna make. Plus, the figures themselves seem nice. Especially Sideswipe, who seem better than his deluxe counterpart.

Could this custom be of the Hook, Line, and Sinker persuasion

Oh, the thing I have in mind will be of SPARKEATER'S level in size and engeneering. Stay tuned!

And, yet, I still feel like I won

Thanks to our old pal Chuckdawg1999, we now have a new review for you guys to check out, this time in the form of the Minicon Weapons 4-pack. This 4-pack includes: Dragonus, Bashbreaker, Lancelon, and Lord Doomitron. These are all new minicon molds with each turning into some sort of weapon. Check out Chuck's review below and let us know what you think in the comments section. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News ad Galleries!

Like, I'm waiting for Ransack, Glacius, Swelter and Back to complete the minicons that showed up in the show, and they are all single releases that have yet to be seen pretty much anywhere. I decided to use weapon slipstream as Jetstorm and I think I can get Airazor fairly cheap, so its those 4. Grr

Man its true, we didnt even get those. I just want all the weapon minicons, like right now I at least hope those 2 waves will show up at the same time like the first two did last year.

Me too. We're in that point where nothing new is coming to stores for at least another month, so I'm eager to get minicons, and ones that were on the show to finish out the bunch (and I do love the minis). After I finish off the show bunch then the weapon guys can come
