TheTransformers.net is reporting that Play.com has the first RiD DVD set up for preorder Here.

They are also reporting that Hasbro UK has told them that the Energon Cartoon will begin airing Autumn/Winter this year in the UK.

TheTransformers.net is reporting that the Robots In Disguise DVD that is scheduled to be released in July, in the U.K., has been expanded. Originally slated to be a single-disc with the first five episodes; It is now two-discs and will contain the first eight episodes of the RiD series.

Well in the U.K. anyway. TheTransformers.net is reporting that the U.K. company Maximum entertainment has aquired the rights to produce the DVD's. The first disc is due out onJuly 26th and will contain the first 5 episodes. It is unlikely these particular sets will be released in the U.S.

Keith Diamond, best known to Transformers fans for his voice acting in the cartoon series "Robots in Disguise," who voiced the character "Rapid Run" of the Team Bullet Train, was shot by his father three times, once in the chin and twice in his torso.

Diamond was apparently unconscious and in an intensive care unit where his condition is listed as "stable."

Thanks to Seibertron for the news and Alpha Prime of our 2005 Boards for the heads up. You can read the article thanks to Fox News by simply following this link here.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Keith.

Transformers @ The Moon has obtained one of the rare Lucky Draw Black Fire Convoy's and have taken an extensive gallery of the figure. The full gallery can be seen Here.

As Black Friday, aka Day after Thanksgiving, draws closer, there is more and more talk about the upcoming Wal*Mart exclusive that will be available at their stores for $15 during a short five hour span. Today, Wal*Mart has included their advertisement for Friday's bargains. Included in the ad is the listing for that much talked-about Robots in Disguise store exclusive. Check out a scan of the Landfill section of the ad here. For those willing to battle the crowds Friday morning at Wal*Mart, this special price on Landfill (which will receive its official release at the beginning of the sale) is only valid from 6 AM to 11 AM local time on that day.

There are now a couple of reports by fellow board members spotting the Wal-Mart exclusive TF Dinobots back on the shelves again. After a quick, short-termed sale due to low-stock but high demand it seems they have now been restocked at Wal-Mart stores once again. Not sure for how long but if you missed them the first time around here is your second chance.

Matchboxproto has posted two new auctions on eBay. One auction is for the KB Toys exclusive figure Jhiaxus, seen Here. The other is for the KB exclusive figure Megabolt seen Here.
