Deluxe Bisk was one of the only RID figures I was interested in getting. Seeing as Thermidor is a mould mate, I'll get him instead.

Just hoping that our Tesco's get them in!

 

Hopefully I'll get Blastwave there on Labor Day Sale.

 

Oh I always assumed you were Malaysian for some reason...

 

Already got them.
Thermador - A bit better then Bisk, the blue is nice, and it feels like they fixed some of the issues. The claws actually tab to the side of the car.
Bludgeon - Hate the cheese wiz orange, and way too much of it. Other then that, still a good figure.
Twinferno - Sort of garbage. Legs feel like they\'ll break from transformation, toe transformation is pointless, dragon heads are a nice G1 reference, but he\'s a stealth bomber, why have them? Flames are cool, but the square pegs suck, and the paint could be better.
Happy Hunting.

 

After a visit in vain earlier in the week, I went back to the New Malden Tescos and found a set today. They had 0 on Wednesday, and 8 today so it's a reasonable assumption I saw a full case:



Four repacks - Op, Strongarm, BB, Grimlock



Four new toys: 2 Twinferno, 1 Thermidor, 1 Bludgeon



I can see the logic, Twinferno is the new mould here and Thermidor & Bludgeon are repaints ...... but instinct says those two are going to be more popular just cos Bludgeon is Bludgeon and we didn't get Bisk.

Bludgeon's orange is a bit pale and the red should be burgundy, almost brown but apart from that it's near perfect.

 

Obligatory question: EAN barcodes?
