RID 3-step wave 8 (orange Drift and Energon Boost Bumblebee) is now out at retail in Australia.

And the RID Minicon 15-pack is out in Hong Kong.

 

Yeah, Robot Kingdom was the first online retailer to stock this set, they're usually synched up with Hong Kong retail releases.

As an aside for your board member, the Mini-Con Mega-Pack is actually in European packaging, I currently assume it's one of these weird "European exclusive" releases like Animated Ratchet/Bumblebee, ROTF Sideways/Wheelie or Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime/Predaking (all of which were TRU exclusives here).

 

...but can he do street lamp mode?

 

I guess the rumors of a rigidly enforced "street date" were true.

 

Not that rigid. *looks at his wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers*

 

Nevermore, speaking of rumors:

Is Deluxe Groove getting a solid re-release across the board? Cause EE has had the preorder open for October, and now TFSource has a listing (October), along with BBTS (September). I'm just wondering if all the major retailers (online retailers only?) will get new stock, and/or whether or not HTS will finally carry him (last year's May Mayhem exclusives also saw a second printing later in the year).

 

I would assume so. We've known about the September/October re-release since May, but I don't think any of us have an idea how many retailers will get him this time.

That's a third party seller listing, though.

 

when is Sixshot due out folks? Also is he a voyager or a leader class bot?

 

Six Shot is due out later-ish, probably around November/December.

And he's a Leader Class figure. Says so right in the first post.  

 

"A chill in the air and September she comes..."

And with it hopefully Robots in Disguise Warrior Class wave 8, as I am extremely excited about Ratchet being my MTMTE CHUG. Is there a specific thread I can subscribe to on news for that wave?

 

It comes out in November, not October.

 

Added the Asia exclusive Master Sword which I've totally forgotten about.
