I have a question on the side: I have the regular retail version of Warrior Class Power Surge Optimus Prime, as much as I love the wing swords (the axe not so much, I may donate it to WFC Prime) he feels incomplete compared to the larger toy due to lack of a proper sword.
Which sword accessory would suit him best? I was looking at the one belonging to Clash 3-Step Optimus Prime:



But the orange really kills it. Any suggestions, preferably in either light blue, grey or black? Even the ones from the Decepticon Island Showdown set will do, but was it even released?

Get the Decepticon Island showdown set. It has plenty of weapons, and it has been sitting in my TRU for 2 months now, so you should be able to find it no sweat

Guess I should, I've been meaning to get more RiD toys now like Windblade, despite passing on Bumblebee and Steeljaw last year. Can anyone post a pic of the sword in Warrior Prime's fist to see how it looks?

I haven't got the set, but I'm pretty certain a Scottp picked up the set

I've seen several Decepticon Island sets on the shelf at my local TRU, and while I'd really like to have the stasis cell and the new weapons, I'd really not like a second Bumblebee and a second Steeljaw, especially when the ones I already have are the Adventure versions.

I feel the same. I want the extras, but I have a steeljaw and a supreme Bee, so I don't want the 2 figures, which are the bulk of the price.

Anyone else finding their local Walmarts not carrying Warrior class anymore? Both of the Walmarts that I frequent have dropped them completely. I don't know what happened to them, they had a bunch of them about a month ago, but now they're just gone, not in the clearance aisle or anything, and no peg space with the other Transformers. Really strange thing to do, especially this time of year.

That is strange. That can't be right.
I'll check next time I hit a Walmart.

mine still has them

Mine has had about the same 3 guys for a month now. Maybe they'll restock on Thanksgiving or Black Friday

Mine has mostly just Windblades.

My stores are actually up to date to an extent. Noteworthy mentions:

Warriors
Windblade
Thunderhoof
Scorponok
Fracture
Grimlock
Gold Armor Grimlock

Mini-Cons
Still at wave 1 and 2! (Maybe if I get Fracture I'll get them...)

Mini-Con 4-packs
Bashbreaker, Lord Doomitron, Autobot Dragonus, WindstrikeLancelon

Battle Packs
Strongarm with Sawtooth
Sideswipe with Windstrike

Legion
Groundbuster
Windblade

Everywhere I've checked locally has the Windblade/Scorponok wave at the latest.

Last time I was at my closest Walmart they had a bunch.....of early wave figures. They did drop Gen Legends however.

I've been partying with Counterpunch and Razorclaw for five days, then had to work, so just now seeing this. Will try to remember to do this in a bit.

Late to the party I know, but anyway.

Soundwave looks amazing. Like, "I might replace my PRID Soundwave" amazing. Might.

Bludgeon looks good but he's just too damn small for my liking. Bludgeon should be a Voyager IMO.

Blurr looks pretty good aside from that headsculpt. Ugh.

I'm not a fan of the RID "Seeker" mold. Between the hollowness (even the bloody HEAD is hollowed out!), the shoulder pads rendering the wings useless and the reported softness of the plastic because LOL HEALTH AND SAFETY, he's an instant pass for me.

Twinferno is kinda ugly IMO. The flame pieces just look cheap.

Regarding toys in my area, we got Scorponok and Windblade in the Entertainer recently. I'm kinda tempted by Scorponok as he looks pretty damn good. Windblade though...ech. The lack of paint makes her look unfinished and the headsculpt reminds me of a blow-up doll. A shame as the toy otherwise looks superior to the Generations mold. I might get the TAV version and make a Shapeways replacement head though. I feel like my CHUG collection needs its share of HI I'M WINDBLADE.

Scottimus Prime has brought to our attention a sighting from Long Island, New York at the Commack Toys'R'Us. This is the first sighting of the brand new 3 step-changer Bisk. In the image below you can see that this 3 Step Changer costs $22.99 and is compatible with Mini-Con Weaponizers. Have you spotted any other new toys in your area? Make sure to flag them up in our Sightings database and board section to help out other collectors!

I just spotted this Give-away for a RID Power Surge Optimus (the big white one with wings) for Canada only.

So I thought i'd mention it here especially as it might give you a giggle at the comments too.

I was tempted to sign up just to say to them - It looks nothing like a truck in truck mode the wings fall off very easily it makes sounds sometime even when you have barely touched it and they often have assembled the elbows upside down so the arms fall off.

Not to mention I can see some kids breaking his spear trying to get it out of his hand. what with that funny key shaped handle it has.

But I didn't want to burst the poor ladies nostalgia bubble.

That Comedy Giant Bumblebee might even be a better toy even if it is so over the top it illicits laughter in me when I think of it.

Clearly I'm not partial to the joke here.

So I got these out and didn't even take a picture because you shouldn't do this. The handle is so long that the part which should fit snugly into the peg can't get there because of the truck grill gauntlets getting in the way.

Now, if you're open to chopping off part of the sword hilt or unscrewing the gauntlets a bit so they can rotate (if that even works), then it'd be a really cool look I think.

I figured. O well, back to looking... Maybe I should practice painting

I have a Question for UK Board Members who have a local Entertainer store - have they seen the RID 4 packs and if so which one or ones.

So far the only one I know for sure they have is : the set which has :

Purple Decepticon Ball : Anvil - Who looks rather like a Pokemon Ghastly
White Ball (oddly marked as an Autobot) : Undertone
Red Deecepticon Ball (a bird) : Hammer (repainted item)
Red & grey Weapon (Autobot) Slipstream.

Has anyone seen any others than that one - if so which one/s

Thanks.

Just found 3 step bisk at Walmart in niles, il.

Still hoping for an answer to my Minicons question.

Also speaking of 3-step Bisk I saw him in UK sainsbury's store (Thetford in Norfolk) yesterday.

Our own ScottyP brings us this tasty sighting of Transformers Robots in Disguise themed Pez Dispensers from ToysRus in Raleigh, NC, and confirmed in PA too. Perfect for holiday stocking stuffers, we can see Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Grimlock are available for $2.29 each. They appear to be sculpted busts from the Robots In Disguise series - take a look below.
