I don't think I've ever seen a trailerless RiD Optimus before.

Those die-cast cars are interesting, I really like that Prime cab. Are they HotWheels/MatchBox sized or larger? What is it that actually lights-up, the whole interior with the windshield & windows, or just the head-lights? The packaging almost makes it look like the wheels are the feature. Also, are these a UK or Euro exclusive or might some USA e-tailers have these for sale as well?

Hey, it's Hashim here. The die-cast cars are Hot Wheels sized. On the underside of each vehicle, there is a sort of translucent sculpt of that character's face, for example, Sideswipe's car has a sculpted image of his face on the underside, and this is what lights up. This is cool because when you press the button, it stays lighted up for a few seconds and when you put the vehicle on a surface, it looks like the vehicle has neon lights! As far as I know, the Autobots all have blue lights. I've heard there is also a Steeljaw in this wave. And finally, I believe this is a Euro exclusive. I bought the Sideswipe car and if you want, I'll take some pictures and put it on my Instagram account, which is @Optimusprime809. Thanks for the questions!

I've now gotten my son the all unique warrior class figs, deployers, minicons, and the 3 step OP. I really like the warrior class figs, but one thing really disappoints me, no minicon pegs on the warrior class figures. There were even a few places where I thought there was a peg, but it turned out to be the wrong size. Like there's two paired pegs on Jazz's arms to lock his arms in place, but they're just a little too big for pegs. It would have seemed liked such an easy thing to tweak some of the designs to include the minicons, especially drift and fracture (drift cold just alter the side mirrors). They both feel incomplete without being able to equip their little buddies.
And thunderhoof, best farm-themed transformer ever! Complex, but fun and intuitive. I may take that from my son's collection and put it on my desk at work.

I agree with the whole not able to mount the minicons thing. Drifts arms look a bit naked without them

It would make sense for Hasbro to include pegs in the new Warrior figures, the ones with the new packaging.

That R/C Bumblebee looks cool, hopefully it works well too. If there's a Strongarm R/C car I hope it comes with, or Third Part makes a Grimlock trailer.

I don't know this old Lego Duplo trailer worked pretty good.

Yyyyyeah, there's some things we rely on Third Parties for and some that are kind of unnecessary. Figures of obscure characters that likely won't get made any time soon? Check. Upgrades for figures like Perfect Effect's Combiner Wars kits? Check. Better weapons like the Third Party TFP Dreadwing weapon to replace the weird weaponizer thing and rubber sword he came with? Check.
... a flat slab on wheels with a piece of cloth. Probably not something you'd pay more than a couple quid for.
Now if you're talking his Crane disguise, there's something Third Parties could come in handy for...

Kicking myself, a few weeks ago an eBay seller had Warrior Power Surge Prime, Windblade, and Scorponok in hand. I tried emailing them to inquire about a deal on shipping, they never responded and the figs sold out.

Our Seibertron.com moderator Cobotron has spotted not only some Titans Return figures, but also the new Transformers: Robots in Disguise Power Surge Bumblebee and Sideswipe at the Toys R Us in Council Bluffs. If you're in the market for the bigger bots from the animated series, these came out a couple of days ago, so happy hunting!
