well think of it like this, will you find a better deal in the wild? if you get them on HTS you get them for less than if you would at like walmart or target. i got both for 34 bucks. in the wild you would pay like 40+ for both.

Yes, you can, but you have to call them on the phone. It's easy though, and they have good customer service. I've done exactly what you describe several times: preordered on HTS, found it "in the wild", bought it, and then canceled the HTS preorder before it shipped.

I love the smell of affordable plastic crack in the morning...made my Tuesday for $33.98.
Scored both DD and Rhinox even after 5,000+ views from fellow Seibertronians...glad to know that there are fewer out there with love for beasts and repaints (more for us ). Rhinox is pure awesomeness...was on the fence about DD but like the color scheme and will just keep him in the box rather than trying to fix the shoulder problem and fiddling with other issues. Rhinox will be opened and displayed proudly Viva la Beast Wars!

I have absolutely no interest in anything to do with the Beast-era Transformers as I think it was the worst idea anyone could have thought of doing, but as we are now getting some of the old characters let out from the Zoo appearing in the comic books, I feel I must pick up the figures, for completists sake of course.
Its a shame the U.K. doesnt get offered some Transformers loving such as this voucher offer. Heck, we dont even have a Hasbro Toy Shop to order direct from!
Guess we'll have to make do with our laminated book of dreams! #Argos

I hope they fixed the shoulders on DD.

Decepticon Doubledealer doesn't really care whom he works for, as long as they can pay his fee. And pay they do. The amount of firepower he carries more than makes up for the fact that he's totally untrustworthy. He carries enough explosive power with him to shatter mountains to dust, and for that both the Autobots and the Decepticons are willing to pay dearly, handing over crates full of Energon chips in exchange for a single battle's worth of services. This Decepticon warrior is a 3-in-1 changer and he's out to make triple trouble for any Autobot or Decepticon that gets in his way! Convert him from robot mode to tank mode when the battle calls for some major firepower. But he can take the fight to the skies when you convert him to jet mode! He'll pummel any enemy with his launching missile whether he's in jet or tank mode. Keep converting him from one mode to another so his enemies can't keep up with him! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
Rhinox is rare among robots. He has a brilliant scientific mind, as well as a deep philosophical curiosity about the nature of the universe around him. He is astoundingly strong – able to hold his own against even the most powerful opponents. He is friendly, good-natured and charismatic, with a fine strategic mind that would make him an ideal leader for the Maximals forces if they didn't already have one. What's more, he carries one of the most powerful weapons of any Maximals in the form of the twin Gatling Guns of Doom, which pump out a Predacon-shredding storm of hot lead. This is one Predacon-pounding warrior who's got the weaponry to whoop up on anyone! Convert your Rhinox figure from robot mode to rhino mode when the battle calls for some major beast strength. He'll unleash a storm of ammo at any enemy with his twin spinning Gatling guns in robot mode! Keep converting him back and forth so his enemies can't keep up with him!

And the jet mode's all wrong for him, too.
What it should have been is Flywheels.

Yeah...or Flywheels.Manterax Prime wrote:Double Dealer should've been Overlord.
Or just a lazy Overcharge repaint.
Or some random Micromaster who had a jet alt but came with a base that turned into something tank-ish.
I just never liked Double Dealer. I loved all the other Nebulon ______-master figures, but his gimmick just overrode character logic even by their standards. He was the first TF toy I ever had zero desire to own.
And yet...I'll still probably get this anyway.

*looks at TFWiki* yeah. Much better fit.
But it would work for Overlord, wrong jet or not. Double Dealer wasn't a jet or tank, so if this mold does serious injustice to anyone, it's Double Dealer.

True, but the robot mode design is also ill-fitting for Overlord, beyond merely giving him a new head.Manterax Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:No way! Using this mold would have been a serious injustice to Overlord.Manterax Prime wrote:Double Dealer should've been Overlord.

If anything, this toy's robot mode design suits Flywheels more than it did G1 Blitzwing.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, if I didn't think the choice of flying alt mode was a major improvement over the ugliest bird in existence.
Posted by RiddlerJ on November 7th, 2013 @ 10:19pm CST
I get this is an update of the original Doubledealer concept, but I always thought the mode per faction thing was the least-sensical. Should've left the insignias off him altogether.

As a kid I loved his bot mode( except for the sideways Mickey Mouse ears) and the missile carrier was cool, but I hated the buzzard/mutant rooster mode. For me, the colors are great and really look good on the mold. Admittedly, the mold itself has plenty of issues, but since my biggest personal issue with Blitzwing was the head, this repaint works out pretty well for me. I just enjoy getting some less mainline characters thrown in, even just as repaints.
I love the paint job on Double Dealer. The reason I'm not buying it is because I have Blitzwing and I don't like the mold.
Now that being said, if I see it in person in a store, I will probably break down and get it anyway.

What color was he? I checked out some images and a clip from the cartoon, but they were so dark I couldn't make out the colors.

I think you just need to replace the greyish animal hide parts with a reddish brown and the gold chrome lining parts with silver. However, TFWiki says it is purple and silver.
