    I already reported having found these at German retail back in December, but how about US retail?

    sdtessmann posted this over in another thread:

    It doesn't end here, though:

    I found them yesterday at Fred Meyer in Kent, but they were $2.99 so I'll either wait for a sale or find them elsewhere.

    These things are absolute garbage. Makes me miss Robot Heroes terribly.

    I didn't even know they released these! They're on wave four already? I haven't seen a single one.

    Someone brought this up before, but It looks like there was a bit of confusion when this Megatron was created.

    He's called Megatron, but his body is clearly based on Megatronus from the Covenant of Primus.

    I really want to like these things, but they're just awful. The newer waves are better than the first few I guess. The details on these four are actually pretty impressive for what they are. The only one I have is Prowl, who is pretty un-prowly (that grin?!). Might be fun to paint them, but ech.

    As much as I loved Robot Heroes, sadly, I can't bring myself to get into these little guys. Some look nice, but others look a little "melty".

    I loved Robot Heroes and wished it never went away, but I still pick these up. My son likes playing with them.

    Never heard of these, are they basically just a continuation of the RH line?

    No, they're tiny blind-bagged toys. They have nothing to do with Robot Heroes other than a slightly similar aesthetic, but Tiny Titans are more G1 in the artstyle of the RiD cartoon alongside RiD characters.

    Oh I dig them. I have all of the second series ones. Since that was the wave I found more readily available at my walmart last easter. And wheeljack and shockwave from later. The sculpt work is pretty fantastic. Although the paint and colorschemes can be little off. And I think it has to do with everyone in the wave being gang molded from a handful of plastic colors.

    Their like plastic decoys with a bit more of a wacky stylized approach. But its not too super deformed fortunately. Its the things they did not have to include running the range from cliffjumpers "I've got megatron dead center in my viewfinder" blaster from the first couple episodes to soundwave with headphones listening to a cassette player.
