Even better the 2nd wave of Weaponizer Minicon on cards have shown up in the Entertainer again (after a momentary sighting late last year then they disappeared):

I hope I can get them as they look long term useful - especially Decepticon Dragonus & The swords.

The Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Crash Combiner Skyhammer set is being found across the continents. In North America, it has been found in an Ontario Walmart, in Canada, while in Europe, it has been found at Kaufhof in downtown Düsseldorf, Germany. This set features Skysledge & Stormhammer, which become Skyhammer, a new character in the Robots in Disguise cartoon, who we have yet to meet.

The Germany sighting is TFW2005's Nevermore and the Canada sighting is from Cybertron.ca's Downshift.

Nice to see something new of any kind reach the UK. It's been the most stale that I've known since the original generations line recently

I now have see if I can find the other missing minicon wave now.

Glacius
Scorch Strike Jetstorm
Ransack

I would be interested in any report on the differences in the big gift set of minicons if anyone ever got that as - I noticed some of them seem to have a bit more paint than the other released versions.

For example Bashbreaker has light grey paint on the sides of the hammer. and Tricerashot has extra paint on his face to give a couple of examples.

Because the show versions are in the 4-packs or the Battle Packs in the case of Windstrike and Sawtooth.

Thanks to Seibertronian Bounti76 we have news that the Robots in Disguise Wave 2 Warriors have reached America! Bounti76 purchased Blurr and saw Soundwave and Windblade at the Walmart in Centerville, Utah last night. Skywarp had already warped away before the sighting. With this news that the figures are hitting retail, head on out to your local Walmarts and other toy stores and start hunting! And if you need a little help deciding on whether or not to pick up Blurr and Soundwave in particular, check out our pictorial review!

Happy Hunting!

Same, I found part of the wave at Toys R Us 2 days ago and the whole wave at Target. Only really wanted Soundwave since I was buying a bunch of Lego Star Wars stuff too, but I got to pick between two and one had a much better paint job than the other.

And a reminder from the Texas Sightings Thread:

Sadly, no Bludgeon yet, have to wait a wave.

I'm gonna wait for the battlemask Windblade to be redecoed.

Could have sworn they weee spotted in the US before. I grabbed Blurr from a ToysRUs and didn't think much of it other than, "no shipping!" :lol:

To be fair, that was on a local sightings thread;I hadn't seen it reported as front page news, so I sent an email with the picture to news at seibertron.com in addition to reporting it on my local thread and noting it in the Toy Sightings thing at the bottom of the main page.

For anyone interested, the RiD Combiner Force Skyhammer is on Amazon for retail price:

I think he's/they are going to show up this week by the looks of the UK stores putting listings up for them with coming soon - I was hoping for a Activator Combiner Sideswipe too - I think the smarter thing to do would have been to offer a revision case instead of these single character editions - they make finding things kinda tricky and make things hang around way to long.

So I feel pairing Sideswipe and Soundwave Activator Combiners would have made better sense for a market like Europe.

Likewise the Optimus & Luna Strongarm would have been better released with Skyhammer.

I'm rather irritated by the missing Warrior Wave with Bisk & Ratchet
& Scatterspike in it - as well as how hard it is to get Legion Blurr and Legion Bisk too.

But the rumour is a lot of stuff is due to land on or around the 24th April. (Strange date) I'd think they'd want them out for Easter Saturday or Monday or before Good Friday even.

--

But on a positive note for those lamenting how small Megatronus was Wei Jiang is doing a overscale version of the Warrior Class soon :

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachmen ... .27706401/

(Behind the Combiner Wars stuff) A nice complement to the existing RID overscale Grimlock and Optimus too).

They usually get made in Plastic and part Metal versions too.

I hope they make Bludgeon too and that he's not all on his own - as Thunderhoof, Scatterspike or Quillfire would be great bigger too - Heck even Windblade might be nice in a bigger scale too !

Oh I've seen them available. but with virtually no word on Skyhammer online or in the US, it was surprising to randomly google and find him. He arrives tomorrow

That's not how you use FYI. You mean BTW. :-P

But yeah, I gave up on the email notifications a long time ago. Much easier to just come to the forum and click on the buttons to see the latest posts. There's two ways to do this: 1) on the main forum next to the title of the topic there's a little orange box that will take you right to the first unviewed post. 2) Within the topic there's a button next to the page count that'll do the same thing.

Subscriptions tend to fall off sometimes. It happens to all of us. I've inquired as to why, and there has been no clear cut answer. I've found the easiest way to reactivate a preexisting subscription is to simply visit the thread. You don't even have to post.

Might become the next minicon wave 1 and 2.

But I honestly recommend them. I have Primestrong and Skyhammer arrives tomorrow. Primestrong is really fun and Skyhammer looks boss
