    Thanks in advance for info. Sorry if this already posted somewhere.

    Was there any news or pictures at the NY Toy Fair 2015 on the possible combinar wars Sling Shot and Wild Rider? If not, what info do we know now about their possible release? (release dates, mold use, any pre-orders, etc)

    I ask because I don't want to open my Alpha Bravo or Off Road if there is just going to be a Sling Shot and Wild Rider released later.

    Considering these are supposedly TRU exclusives, and Toy Fair is only for general retail releases: No, there has not been any further information on these two.

    All we have thus far are TRU listings by two different sources:

    Source 1: Icespark
    Source 2: hailstarscream

    Considering we've already seen TakaraTomy's version of Slingshot, who's basically a redeco of Firefly with an all-new head sculpt, it's very likely that Hasbro will use the same toolings for their version.

    Why don't you just open them anyway? The offroad mold looks sick. If Wildrider comes out I'll probably get him too. *plays right into Hasbro's plan*

    Agreed. Out of all the Arielbots I have so far he's my favorite.
    He's better than any slingshot figure could ever be.
