Did you buy one of these? Because these are not a thing you (personally) will enjoy, using my incomplete knowledge of things you enjoy.

$8 for a legion figure your kidding me right? I really hope TRU is just price gouging again cause if thats normal price im not buying a damn thing until theres a markdown. I do have a TRU gift card & $5 reward voucher but ill save them for the upcoming neca alien figures & new bionicle sets (if they dont screw the prices that is).

10$ is NO LONGER the normal price point of deluxes for the US market. Get over it.

deluxes are a major ripoff at $17 and the high price point is hurting the franchise, get over it

TRU jacks up the price by 2-3 dollars like they normally do, inflation increases it even more. Plus, as someone else already said on these forums, US prices have been much lower than everywhere else for a while now; it's just that we're finally catching up to the rest of the world.

But tell us how you really feel, LOL! Yeah that figure looks a little off. I really don't like the blast effect on the the rifle. I thought at first it was a cutting blade of sorts.

Deluxes have been 16-17$ in Canada for years. They are 20-35$ in Europe, Australia, and Japan. Seriously, you Americans are so used to pay everything for dirt cheap. No wonder you get startled when the prices finally get normal instead of always-on-clearance.

Ya. Dirt Cheap. That's how it gets done down here. We pay everyone else pennies to do our dirty work for us, and expect to get paid ridiculous wages to do nothing at all. It's in our Constitution. Why should we care about or take care of other people,(like in other countries) when it's so hard to take care of ourselves.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I am legitimately looking forward to seeing what the new show has to bring... But I cannot get behind this line of toys it just does absolutely nothing for me. The aesthetics are meh, the transformations seem oversimplified, and the prices appear bloated.

This is no ROTF level of engeneering for sure...

I was kind of looking forward to a completely new line, but from all of it I've seen, it's been a let down. Generations (some) and MP seems to be about all that is hitting it's mark with me right now.

Ya know what's funny? CW Drag Strip is way easier than Warrior Class Bumblebee but no one complains about how simple it is.

I did.

I wanted to be a part of things and buy the new character because at heart, I'm a good-guy-Counterpunch.

Real-talk Counterpunch has to admit that this is a piece of **** Transformer that is in no way deserving of a price tag above $8.

Hey everybody, What are we calling this line?
We already have RID. Is this NEW RID, RID15, TRID?
What should we call it?

For me it's:

"RiD 2001" for the Car Robots-based line from 2001
"Prime RiD" for the Prime sub-line
"RiD 2015" for this line.

Easy.

Jelze, I was hoping you would chime in.
That all sounds good too me. Thanks.

I'm not really disgusted by this line. I don't have any yet. I think the character design is pretty neat. Especially the beasty Cons. Interested to see what they do with Thunderhoof.

I'm gonna start small with Legions and maybe work up. Just like I did with Prime. I hope they take a Cyberverse route. Who doesn't like having playsets for their little robos to battle on?

Yeah real-talk, since I missed out on the early review there's no reason for me to buy this without an Amazon gift card.

Here's the funny thing, I never saw RID on the Prime figures packaging. Shipping boxes yes but the cards no.

I kinda hope there's a breakout character, so I can say "Sky-Byte's RiD" and "____'s RiD". But for now:
RiD'01
RiD'15



Prime is Prime, no need to confuse matters.

CRID (Car Robots in Disguise) for the 2001 series, PRID for the Prime toyline/subline, and either TRID or TFRID for the 2015 series.

There's also the IDW-series-formerly-known-as-Robots-in-Disguise.

That's exRID.
