While we've had some mention of these being found already in our ongoing discussion thread, Seibertron Twincast Podcast host Counterpunch has sent our news staff full details and confirmation that the second wave of Robots in Disguise Mini-cons have hit US retail shelves.



Counterpunch found these at a Walmart in Luling, LA. Chances are they may already be, or have been, in your local stores now as well!

By the Allspark! The Robots in Disguise toyline is taking full advantage of the late summer retail reset season, and thanks to generally cool guy and Seibertron podcaster Razorclaw0000 we have more sightings to report. The Toys R Us exclusive Clash of the Transformers sub-line, which has been available at Canadian retail for some time now, has at last hit US Toys R Us stores!









These were found at the Wilkes-Barre Township, PA Toys R Us. Razorclaw's email to the staff came during my lunch hour, so I hit up my local TRU in Raleigh, NC and sure enough, the 3-Step Hyperchange Heroes and Megatronus were available there too. This could be a sign that these toys were "street dated" and are hitting stores nationwide almost simultaneously.

The 2 packs of Legions figures will set you back $11.99 each, and the Deluxe class figures cost $14.99 each. Both of these size classes are simply repaints of earlier toys from the line, with the exception of new mold Legion Megatronus, and are certainly reminiscent of the now infamous 2007 Allspark Battles Transformers Movie sub-line.

The 3-Step Hyperchange Heroes are $19.99 each and are not only retools of the earlier versions, but they include new weapons as well. Finally, the all new, all big 5-Step Megatronus figure will run you $29.99. Keep in mind with all this listed pricing that Toys R Us prices may vary from store to store, or increase without warning at any time!

Galleries of many of the earlier versions of these molds can be found in our Robots in Disguise Galleries.

Be sure to let our News Crew know here if you find anything you deem newsworthy. If you see these toys locally be sure to let your fellow collectors know in your local Sightings Thread, or utilize our Sightings Resource page which has been updated to include these figures.

When it rains sightings, it certainly pours. This analogy may imply that we're getting soaked in our news cycle today, but this ain't Sea World, it's as real as it gets because now we have Rescue Bots toy sighting news to report.

Yours truly stopped in to the local Toys R US in Raleigh, NC today and spotted the Transformers: Rescue Bots High Tide Rescue Rig, as well as the Tunnel Rescue Drill Set and Shark Sub Capture Set previously only known to be available on Amazon.





It'll run you $29.99 plus tax to party it up on High Tide's boat, and the Rescue Drill and Shark Sub were too busy flipping burgers so I didn't scan them to get the price, but it's likely comparable to Amazon. Probably.

If you see any new toys at retail that we haven't made a news post about yet, and they're still, well, new, be sure to let our News Crew know here, and if you see these particular toys locally be sure to let your fellow collectors know in your local Sightings Thread

Robots In Disguise (2015) Deployers (wave 1) and Mini-Cons (wave 1) have been sighted at retail!

I know, you're thinking "Wait, haven't those been out for a while?" and you're right, they have. Heck, I even found them last week and posted it in the forums, but didn't news it because I thought they had surely been front paged by the time I had found them. That was my mistake, so I must apologize.

I'm not the only one to have found them, fellow Seibertronian Cobotron has them in hand as well, and unlike me he decided to share the images of his findings! (I really, really dropped the ball on this one, eh?)







Do what I didn't do and share those sightings with us, you just might get your name on the front page! If you have a sightings submission and want to see your name on our front page, send us an email using the sightings form, share the find in our sightings forum, and remember...

Bumblebee Disc Demolisher Kre-O Set Found at US Retail

Great news for US Kre-O fans out there, the Bumblebee Disc Demolisher Kre-O set has been found at US Retail.






Hold the phone, isn't this line not planned for a US release at all? Well, it certainly seems that way for traditional "Big Box" retail, but while out at the comic shop today I also stopped next door into a TJ Maxx store in Raleigh, NC and picked up this set for a measly $9.99 plus tax! This is not only discounted from MSRP, but also much better than recent secondary market prices for this set.

This set had first been seen in Canada several months ago, and has possibly been at discount retail in the US for a few weeks as well. Will this be a harbinger of future sightings of more Robots In Disguise Kre-O product, or could this just be a one-off order that's made its way to discount chains? Time will tell, but if you see other RiD Kre-O sets at US retail, be sure to let our News Crew know here, and if you see this particular set locally be sure to let your fellow collectors know in your local Sightings Thread.

ScottyP has some fun news for Rescue Bot fans with a new sighting:

Rescue Bots Rescan Bumblebee found at a Target in Raleigh, NC for $9.99. Feels like this came out of nowhere. Others in the assortment were all in previous waves: Salvage, OP (small truck), Heatwave (boat), Blades (jet).
