Transformers: Robots in Disguise Easter Baskets at KMart

These started showing up the day after Valentine's. Walmart has similar baskets, but smaller. You'd think they'd include a cheap fast food level figure in these instead of all generic stuff with images on them, being based on toy licenses and all. Couldn't even be bothered to include proper candy for the price.

Agreed. Pre-wrapped Easter baskets are traditionally supposed to be for TF knock-offs, which offer way more play value than these frisbees and yo-yos. Primus, how I wish I'd gotten the Transmetal Primal and Megs basket years ago, before the crackdowns.

I've seen a few newly KOed faces in baskets this year though, mostly in CVS and Dollar General (I think). The Hardtop and Superion-Maximus A-10 mold in one Unicron Trilogy themed basket, and a Bayniverse legend Ratchet in another. Nothing really worth bothering with though, not like 10 years ago with all them gestalt teams. And now the CW toys are too big to fit a whole team in a basket even if they were shrunk a bit, so that won't be happening with them, and Hasbro reaps another minor benefit of finally giving us combiners the size they should've grown to long ago!

"Taffy candy"? Isn't that a bit redundant? All taffy is candy, as far as I know.

Wow, look at that sweet Bumblebee frisbee. I'm so jelly of whichever kiddy got this today.

I'm being a bit silly, but in serious, happy Easter everyone.

Easter has changed over years I remember see baskets in stores with more candy little less toys now it opposite

I know what you mean. I miss the ones that had generic Dinobots or Beast Wars figures in them. About 10 years ago I got a basket from Kmart with a very large KO Sky Garry in it. I haven't seen anything nearly as cool as that since.

You're able to do that?

All you need is a decent picture of the 'code ring' , from a Seibertron.com galley for example, on a second device or computer screen and it will still scan to unlock in the game. Yeah it's "cheating" but having to re-scan the 'code ring' again when the character 'goes back to Cybertron' after about a day is stupid.

On the legion class figures, what weapons (if any) are supposed to fit in the hand and vehicle peg hols on the figures?

Anything with a standard 3mm peg should work.

This is a great question. Hasbro confirmed there would be others. I suspect Fracture and Thunderhoof to get the Warrior treatment and maybe Clampdown too.

I am really hoping for Thunderhoof.
I would say any of the Cons that are teaming up with Razorclaw are good candidates, as they will be reoccurring characters.
I would really like to see Buffalo Dude. (Can't think of his name OTTOMH)
