We will need to see what happens later on. and just because he is in the game does not mean he will be in the show, same with the comics and toyline, As I have mentioned before

Glad to prove you wrong

I only post that site due to the fact that the original source seems to be down or removed.

Thank you for posting something like this: Proof of something. While it really does not give us a clean image (since it is all story board stuff like that) It does show that he may be in the show if the 204 really does mean season 2 episode 4.

I thought this was just the way the waves/cases are, bbts has carry overs too

They do but BBTS usually offers a set of just the new figures. Then again there's been a few instances where they haven't offered that, probably don't want to get stuck with certain figures.

THEY MADE A 1-STEP SPRINGLOAD

I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW

A true "Springload" of fun eh?

I do really look forward to him too. With that kind of name, a one-step truly does fit the character

I am surprised that springload is news to quite a few since we knew about that one step in october: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... per/34112/

I saw this, but actually seeing the toy in package and with color just made it for me. It really is awesome

Haha, I certainly like to let people know what I think In all honesty though, RiD seems to be heating up toy wise. We getting some cool stuff!

sorry

Is Hasbro actually starting to "Care" a little bit about some aspect of RID that isn't a 3 Step-Changer ?

For a while there all we got was yet another 3 Step changer.. at least the Minicons and the one-steps give some appearance of there being an intention to continue the toyline.

Oh and as to the point Quillfire and Springload seeming new - well if I had seen them before it was so lo res It didn't stick in my mind seeing the in-package and a slightly bigger grey scale than I had before does cement it in my mid as a thing that exists.

I would be curious to see for sure if Sideswipe is a new mould or not too - I can't see the image well enough to tell - seems possible though if Bee is a Drift style remould that he might be a remould too.

Why can't we get 1 step changers in the Chug line. I'd love some Scout size cars in the G1 style instead of the stylised movie and rid lines.

That should never happen thats a terrible idea I don't want to have less legend, deluxes, voyagers, and Leader class figures made because of crappy kid toys just trust me it shouldn't happen....

Because then fans would threaten Hasbro to never ever buy a tf again.

Also RAR, Hasbro said from the get go that the first year of RID was to get the autobots out first and attract the kids to the line (by clearly setting age ranges when speaking in interviews and such). They said the rest would come in after that and we are seeing it now that the line is more established and has some footing amongst the younger kids. Now they can release more decepticons and new fun stuff that we can all enjoy.

We're not their target market. They're primarily a distributor first, sell to folks like us second. I mean, just look at that website, I don't think it's been updated since 1999

Are you talking about BBTS? I respectively disagree. As long as I've shopped there, it's been all about us collectors. I do not think they do any distribution. (And sure, the site looks dated. But I can find stuff there! I would prefer function over visual aesthetics any day.)

No, they were talking about entertainment earth. But yeah I got confused too.

Make that 3 and I was part of the conversation. Lately BBTS has just sold cases without doing a set, when they do a set the figures are usually priced higher since they know they're going to get stuck with extras.

For what it's worth ToyWiz is scalping some of the new one-step and legion figures on Amazon. $20 for Windblade, all I can do is shake my head.

Quick question: I have the ability to get deployers Drift, Slipstream and Jetstorm for a total of $21.23 with free shipping. is it worth it?

If you need your figure to have articulation of any kind in order to enjoy it, then no deal is worth that figure. That is why I will never buy it.

I'm not huge on articulation. Plus it's the only way to get the minicons, and I do want the minis

That IS a selling point, albiet a frustrating one. Having the same issue with Airazor.

Worst case, you could probably find Warrior Drift for cheap later in you so wanted.

Isn't there a blue Jetstorm coming in the next wave?

Yup, he comes with the blue Deployer Drift.

I already have the warrior Drift, it's the minicons that i really want (Drift would basically be a bonus)

And Cobs, there is a Slipstream coming out in blue, but Drift comes with Jetstorm...

Sounds like you have only one recourse. Shame they can't come down a little on the price point.
