I'm talking Bludgeon, Twinferno, & Thermidor. I am SO close to saying I'm done with RID but I just need these three. But whats going on here? Why is it impossible to get them? I've heard some retailers in other countries have them but why has the US been skipped? Any websites even have preorders or orders up at all for these three? Any information would greatly be appreciated.
looks like they lived up to their name, and toy stores got "rid" of them badumtsss (I personally have nothing against the line, but even now I haven't seen the likes of Thermidor, and only saw Bisk once)
Tail-enders of most lines tend to be pretty scarce. For examples, ROTF HA Mudflap and red Rampage come to mind. Also, probably this.
So I'm bringing back an old thread of mine to ask once more... Does anyone know of websites currently that have Thermidor, Bludgeon, & Twinferno for order? Can't even seem to find them on eBay and I think at this point its fare to say that a US release is not going to happen and I still need them for a complete RID collection. Hasbro has really dropped the ball IMO.
Distribution sucks because you've got waves of TLK still chilling from back in May hogging the pegs making stores gun-shy about ordering more Transformers. I mean, Overlord is a highly sought after figure but wouldn't you much rather have a giant RC Squeeks that nobody wants taking up that shelf space?
It appears as though RID is coming to a close and the last wave of any line tends to be hard to find. Retailers are usually stocked up on previous waves and don't want to order another case when they know that particular line is ending. The only one out of this wave I'm looking for is Bludgeon.
My local TRU had twinferno & the bb from that wave. Somebody had already beat me to the bludgeon & thermy.
Ah. Here's the bad news: there's actually a wave after the Bludgeon/Therm/Twinferno wave that does not include Bludgeon/Therm but does include Twinferno. So, we still haven't seen Bludgeon/Therm in the US yet.
I've posted the Target links before but they're still sitting at out of stock. Here they are anyways. Bludgeon Target : Expect More. Pay Less. Twinferno Target : Expect More. Pay Less. Themidor Target : Expect More. Pay Less. These suckers are hard to find and I'm not sure how much of a run they're doing for them. However, all businesses need to make a bunch of money before the end of the year for tax reasons. Chances are we'll see them flood every store as Hasbro pushes everything out of their warehouse that they can. Though I am in California so we tend to get the rarer stuff (though east coast gets it first). I guess it just depends on where you are. Hopefully you can pick them up!
Son of a... Thanks for the info. That's distressing, but at least there's a better shot at Twinferno (hopefully).
