Awww, you beat me to the punch. I just left TRU and was going to complain about all the kids there.

Thunderhoof is getting a "Deluxe" (Warrior?) version, right? Every time I see this version, I think about how cool it would be if they made a Deluxe version out of the Generations Scoop mold.

Huh, Jazz Actually looks better now, good photos can really change your mind! (However, his package art looks manic, like he's gonna take his lance and shove it in a very uncomfortable place)
Sideswipe On the other hand I like less than in his first pics.
If CW doesn't slaughter my wallet, I'll give these two a try!

I would be inclined to believe the "kiddie" would want the same toy his big brother got and not a dumbed down version. I know I would. Im so glad there were no "kiddie Transformers" back in the 80's. (except happy meal toys maybe)

There were no "non-kiddie Transformers" until 1995.

That race car is pretty dope.

O there were: they were called Gobots

Or "Bumblebee."

You weren't asking me, but... I have a 20 year old brother in law and I consider him a "kid". I'm a few grey/missing hairs older than that and I collect toys, so I still consider myself a kid, sometimes. I like to label things as fun or not fun, works much better in my hobbies.

So, I guess it's a perspective thing.

Fellow Seibertronian weebot17 informed us of the first sighting for the upcoming Robots in Disguise legion class figures : Fixit and Underbite.

These two were found in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong at 59.99 HK$ (which is 7.74 US$) and posted by bladestorm on OZFORMERS.

The recent review of Fixit showed us that these can be quite the neat figures, so hopefully this means these will soon find a way to our shores.
