    I find it strange that they focused on Raiden and not JRX from Car Robots, but if it means either a reissue of the original or a new combiner for Generations, then all is good.

    Is it my imagination or is OhMyPrimus' prices a little better than BBTS? They don't have Targetmaster Twin Twist, but they do have Topspin and Kup...

    Hmmmm...

    the tradeoff is that their shipping is a bit pricier since theyre shipping from asia

    Heck yeah! This is great - I hope we get a new Raiden out of this around the same size as Titan Devastator.

    Let's see...

    (*tries adding Targetmaster Topspin onto cart, sees that shipping is US$13.14 with a total of $49.64)

    And BBTS has $4 shipping...

    o_O 

    Am I that desperate for these guys...? :confused:

    Raiden never came out here, but even then, it was just a reissue of some OG Diaclone toys from the Constructicons era. The Trainbots are kind of a self sustaining space bridge / transport on the Headmasters cartoon.

    I mean, what counts as "in the states" because the Seacons are available via Pulse.

    I did the same thing initially. So Raiden could very well be one thing while Hasbro/Takara do Micromaster combiners as part of the WfC trilogy.

    @AnnoyedRobot probably means more of a domestic release rather than an imported release like the seacons

    Raiden? A Mortal Kombat crossover would look well next to the Street Fighter crossover figures.
    Hope we get it in some form in occident.

    Whatever this ends up being, it\'ll probably be way out of my price range. But for those of you who\'ll be able to afford it and have been waiting for something like this: go right ahead! Your faith has yielded its reward, and your beloved choo-choo bois shall soon be yours.

    Wasn't there talk of Micromaster combiners in Earthrise outside of the front and back halves styled ones?

    Downsized Raiden with a pretool for Sixtrain or Sixliner?

    At least one was displayed recently. I forget if it was at SDCC or NYCC.

    It's because nobody gives a shit about JRX. It was a lackluster toy that is only fondly remembered for the novelty of being the first new mold train combiner.
