Transformers Robots in Disguise Wave 2 Mini-cons at US Retail

Posted by ScottyP Aug 12, 2015 at 3:44pm CDT 39,244 views
While we've had some mention of these being found already in our ongoing discussion thread, Seibertron Twincast Podcast host Counterpunch has sent our news staff full details and confirmation that the second wave of Robots in Disguise Mini-cons have hit US retail shelves.



Counterpunch found these at a Walmart in Luling, LA. Chances are they may already be, or have been, in your local stores now as well!

If you see new toys at retail in your country that you don't think our news crew has front-paged a sighting of yet, be sure to let us know here. If you see these toys locally be sure to let your fellow collectors know in your local Sightings Thread, or utilize our Sightings Resource page.

Well dang. These are the ones I saw at my store. I just thought they were the same wave. I wasn't really interested in these guys now I want to see what wave one had.

Cool, cool. Maybe they've made to my neck of the swamp. Guess it's time for a hunt to see if I can find me some Beastbox.

Beastbox is the one I want most of all as well. I love little gorrila formers. Do you know of Gora? He's fun too.

I've heard of him and seen him in pictures, but I've haven't delved into the arms micron bots yet.

The only "gorilla bot" I own is High Score 100.

Magnus has recently developed a bit of a game addiction with him.

I saw the Drift/Jetstorm deployer set at a local Target store. Happy hunting!

I am so thankful to Hasbro to have made it that we do not need the little guys which come with the deployers to build those extra energon figures. Like that we can get everything we want without needing to get the deployers :DANCE:

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same camp. I want to buy one just to check out the line. I'm normally a sucker for minicons, but these are sorely lacking in the 5mm department, which is a bummer, if you ask me.

Agreed, but one can never hurt... :BOT:

If you're into the line you should check out at least one. They're pretty neat and have some great molded details.

I bet. having watched reviews, I do want to get at least one, maybe 2 just cause theyre cheap. But they do look really nifty :BOT:

Ya, I wish there were 5mm p&p on these guys too, but they're really fun little characters.
They would have at least made cool little shields for all the melee weapon wielding Warriors.

Very true. While it would have been cool, I see what they were going for. not fully executed well but still a neat gimmick nonetheless :BOT:

This pic does show the upcomng tav 21 retool with the ability to peg a minicon as some sort of shield.

Remember how Amazon had Legion Ultra Magnus listed in stock last weekend? So, I ordered one, and it came in yesterday. Warrior Optimus Prime was in the box :/

Automated refund system did its thing. Result: they don't even want the incorrect toy back. Probably more expensive to pay for the return shipping label on their end, so that makes sense.

Figured I'd throw that out as a cautionary tale.
