Found in Indianapolis. Couldn't find any other official US retailer sightings. Please remove if I am incorrect. Thanks
This appears to be the first reported US sighting all right. Still awaiting a US retail sighting: Crash Combiners Skysledge & Stormhammer Activator Combiners Great Byte & Sideswipe Overdue by about a year: Mini-Con single packs Slipstream (Weaponizer), Bashbreaker, Tricerashot, Lord Doomitron Mini-Con single packs Windstrike, Sawtooth, Lancelon, Dragonus (Weaponizer) Mini-Con Deployer Crazybolt & Hammer Maybe never actually intended for a US retail release: Mini-Con Mega-Pack
I\'m sorry to say (as I\'ve definitely daleyed in this cale), but IG and DX9 have spoiled me and I simply can\'t stomach these super reduced articulation Hasbro Legends numbers. I\'m out.
Worse than that, these legion toys feel like KOs, in-hand. The legs/arms pop off their ball joints too easily, and the toys feel very flimsy/delicate. It's the type of toy to go missing limbs quite easily. I think the problem, specifically, is that ball-jointed arms and legs just don't work on this tiny scale. Compare the new legions to the old mini-cons from Armada, for example - the lack of pins and screws basically kill the longevity of any toy that small. The RID Legions clearly save a lot on production costs by using only plastic (hence how one can call these "cheap")- even Unicron Trilogy mini-cons suffered when they were made of only plastic: These sucked horrifically, for example, in a time when Hasbro used more metal parts than today. Go figure. Again, the specific problem was limbs popping off from the lack of proper screws or pins to keep the arms/legs attached. If you're not going to bother using any pins, the least you can do is charge gum-pack prices, given how the average kid will just disintegrate these things. For $5+, I'd rather not buy an RID Legion toy that will last less than an afternoon. Just my
Found Blurr at Target in Chambersburg PA. Not a bad figure. I don't like NuRiD whatsoever, but the Legion line hadn't been terrible.
