That Warrior Grimlock re-release has me hoping they fixed the elbow issue

Elbow issue?

I guess the elbow hinge was breaking and producing look elbows that didn't work

Not quite breaking: the elbow joint is of the soft ratchet kind, and the plastic catch has the tendency to break, leaving Grimlock with a floppy lower arm.

The perks of returning to a country where Easter is fairly big on its chocolate eggs include coming across some Transformers: Robots in Disguise themed products too! Spotted by yours truly in the Florence area, Italy, the Kinder GranSorpresa Maxi for 2016 include two possible variations of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Sideswipe - vehicle (plus dino) and robot - but no transformation, only minor articulation, and a few stickers. Some in-hand images of the Optimus robot are also mirrored below from Italian collector site Giocattoli Vecchi!

Kinder Eggs are always fun! Those look like some decent little candy prize toys.

kitty!

(sorry, automatic response whenever I see a cat)

They arent little. These are the big easter editions (in comparison). Look at the price tag, thats about 14$ for the egg. The toys look like 5 inch figures.

Yep, the eggs are a decent size, the second down from the Gigante (Giant).
I only have the weight, 220 grams - but a regular egg is only 20 grams!

aww that's a b#@$¤r that it can't transform

coz i love the look of Prime's truck mode

ok...i thought as much....it's up on Ebay already

IIIIIIIIIIIII love candy!!

Look what I found at TRU the other day. Any of you find something weird here?

What the ....?!?!
That's deployer Fracture with a weird gun.
Trickery, treachery, and thievery is at work here!

I think the guy just wanted the minicon.

So should I be looking for the Blizzard Drift/Thunderhoof/Quillfire wave? I feel like that came out for about ten seconds online months ago, but I haven't seen a thing of it either at stores or online. Ended up getting the TAV Thunderhoof and Quillfire because they were easier to acquire at the same price.

so with episode 6 of season 2 out....when are we going to see Simacore(who's basically a repaint/retool of Ground Pounder) & his minicons, as toys?

I'm going to go ahead and say probably never seeing as we would first need a ground pounder to retool for your idea. Also I think they've made it pretty clear that we're not getting a toy of every single character from the show.

I will make a post shortly.

Probably will depend on how well Groud Pounder's upcoming Legion toy does. I wanna see Polar Claw as a toy, since he was very clearly a potential retooling of Steeljaw.

Fellow Seibertronian Shajaki has found the illusive second wave of 2016 for Robots in Disguise, the one constituting of Blizzard Drift/Thunderhoof/Quillfire wave in Alberta Canada. These were available online for a moments but have yet to be found in stores, as far as we know and this is a sign that it will hopefully be found in the rest of Canada and the rest of North America. If you have seen this wave in stores, please let us know, since it includes some sought after Decepticons. About Drift though, Shajaki sent us an in hand picture as well, enjoy!

you may have to rethink that!

Rethink what? A legion figure isn't indicative of anything. There are a bunch of decepticons that haven't and won't get figures. Plain and simple.

I dont understand, the legion figures dont count? RID loves its redecos. If there is a character on a show that can be made from a simple redeco I dont see why they wouldnt. The show is lasting for at least 4 seasons.

I just watched today's episode on the DVR. I think that's your next new Deployer mold after Crazybolt.

Well he said him and his minicons so I assume he's expecting a larger figure. Legions don't mean larger figures.

not necessarily!

but seeing as you mention it....maybe a larger figure will come along at a later date(packaged with minicons....Decepticon Hunter, Deployer).
