Legion Class wave 4 (Night Ops Bumblebee and Alpine Strike Sideswipe) have previously been released at retail in Singapore. Warrior Class wave 4 (Night Ops Bumblebee and Gold Armor Grimlock) have, to my knowledge, thus far only been available online (but is already in stock at Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth). Both waves are now out in the UK: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3992.html#post12761658 http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3985.html#post12749051 http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3986.html#post12749612 http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3995.html#post12766112 http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3995.html#post12766958
Minicons are out here too, I picked up Slipstream, Divebomb and Sawback (left Dragonus) for £5.99 each at Toys R Us, not sure if this is previously reported: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...transformers-sightings-3997.html#post12768548 All the best Maz
Mini-Cons wave 1 at UK retail was frontpaged as part of that massive post-SDCC European retail update: Robots in Disguise and Combiner Wars European Release Update - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM
So , no, not news then Cheers Torsten. Damn I missed that, I would have picked them up way sooner had I known. There was just so much news at the time. All the best Maz
It was, but I don't think the Deployers have been found, unless someone got one out of the Argos catalogue this last weekend (they're in there)
I may get that Grimlock. The rest of the repaints are forgettable. Here's hoping I can find the Minicons soon. Drift needs some students to scold.
This! Please someone give us an update/report on this. Literally the only reason I didn't get the green version, but I like this repaint even better so if the elbows are fixed it's a done deal.
People said that the elbow ratchet joint would break like after 2 or 3 transformations. Seemed like a design flaw many were hoping would be fixed in a later version/revision. Lots of complaints in the review thread...
Got a Grimlock for £11 in my local Tescos this morning http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...gdom-transformers-sightings-post12794007.html The elbows are odd. Much more force is needed to push them down to get a straight arm than is needed to bring them back up. I've looked at the issues listed in these threads: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...rid-warrior-grimlock-arm-leg-joint-issue.html http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...sguise-2015-deluxe-grimlock-post11945685.html I can't see any stress marks on my toy and I've been sitting here clicking the arm back and forth.
Thanks for the report! This Grimlock is available on Amazon now but still not sure I want to spend $17. Oddly, Amazon's stock photos show the "gold" coloring as noticeably more yellow than the more orangey-bronze in the UK sighting photo. I really wish someone would review this guy already - photo or video review.
It is the bronze colour shown in the photos. Those Amazon ones are the official images Official Images Of Transformers: Robots In Disguise Warriors - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM Oddly the back of the packet shows more gold colour and looks much better. For some acurate in hand pics see Robots in Disguise Night OPS Bumblebee and Gold Armor Grimlock New Pics - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM
Cool thanks. I saw those in-hand pics before but the Amazon photos were throwing me off - it really looks nothing like those pics. The bronze looks better IMHO. Now just to have some (additional) confirmation about those pesky elbows!
