Now where the hell are my individual packed minicons??????

I am getting really antsy too.

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

Had to take my laptop in for repairs so I decided to drop in the local Asda to see if there were any Generations Legends I could pick up. There weren't because the UK doesn't know what a "distribution of Transformers" is, but there were some RID 2015 minicons and legends. One of the ones there was Dragonus who I was wanting for a while so I was like screw it, let's get this guy.

Gotta be honest... Kinda disappointed. He is cute and I kind of adore the torpedo mode all weaponed up - looks like it came straight out of mad max - but he... Just doesn't do anything. No articulation of course outside the head waggling a little bit, and the purple translucent things are just kind of on him. I do like him, but not enough to make me not disappointed in dropping £6.50 on him or not getting legends Fixit over him. I mean, cmon, this guy cost me the same as Legends Groove. You can't tell me he's worth even half a legends groove.

So... Yeah. Bit sad because this was my first RID 2015 toy as well as my first time buying in-store since I was a kid. But hey, I have him and there's no going back now, and I kinda like him for what he is. Just wish he was better.

Aye, I've heard that right enough. Kinda gutted I didn't pick him up tbh; maybe I'll do that when also picking up my laptop.

Also since this is my first time on the thread (hi guys), scrolled up a bit and saw that the minicons aren't sighted anywhere? At Asda I saw Dragonus (duh), Divebomb, Back, Slipstream and... uh... Blizzard Strike Slipstream, lol. Also saw legion Strongarn patrol mode.

Woah woah, I thought you meant 2015 Dragonus, you have the weapon version?! If thats the case, send photos along with a picture of the reciept and we will news this up

Now I'm not sure if I got an older version lol. I'm not up to snuff on the RiD toys; can I get a rundown on the differences so I don't look like an idiot?

Pretty sure you have the latest one. And if ever you go back to the store take some pics!

Damn, fraid I got the green one with the purple add-on bits. There was a steange mix of waves - thet had vanilla legion grimlock next to legion patrol bumblebee, for instance - so I shouldn't be too surprised. I'll see if I can take pictures next time I'm there tho

Darn, you should have gotten weapon dragonus. Because while he still doesnt do much he at least becomes a handheld weapon. But dont worry, I got the same one you fot too and I still think he looks ok. And did you know that those bits of armour can connect with others to make a bonus lion figure?

And darn, D-Max, I thought the weapons started wave 4, not 5. Man I really hope these come soon, I got some rainchecks to bank!

Well I mean like, I didn't see the weapon Dragonus while I was thete either; just the one I got.
Saw the lion thing, yeah - think I prefer them stuck on Dragonus tho.

Makes sense. I just wanted to mention the weapon versions since that might give you an added play feature that would maybe add value to these toys for the user.

I dunno, I think Dragonus makes a great familiar.
