Hot on the heels of our report of the Robots in Disguise Mini-Con Deployers finding their way to US retail, we have a sighting of the Mini-Con figures who go with them! Robots in Disguise Mini-Con Wave 1 features Decepticons Dragonus and Divebomb for Fracture, plus Sawback and Slipstream for Drift.
These four were spotted in the Gurnee Mills Target store in Illinois by TFW2005 member Grimlockimus! A big thanks to him for the news tip.

I bought all of wave 1. I hate them. Zero articulation, and the pressure got bits are hit or miss. The tolerancing is terrible.
Thorhammer
Yeah $4.99 isn't too bad; here's hoping BBTS or someone has a case of all of them instead of having to hunt around for all of them at different places and also NOT a case of 3 of one and 2 of another.

$5 isn't too bad. I may try one out at that price… but we'll see if it's really worth $5! The way Hasbro has been cheaping out on plastic and materials, I'm half expecting a toy that falls apart at the mere whisper of a breath.

$5 each. He bought 3 hence $15. Yeah I heard that post above and was like hell no. But $5 each? Yeah no real RID interest, but may get some of them.
Grimlockimus
Trust me if these things were $14 a pop I wouldn't have gotten any of them.
They're $4.99 but as show in the picture I did sorta buy three of them, making the total around $14.
Nevermore
MSRP for one Mini-Con is $4.99.

Found yesterday at Target in Maryland. Thought there was already a sighting thread, but now I see it was for the deployers themselves.

Where did that price of $14 come from someone mentioned? I have no interest in the RiD line other than Strongarm and Steeljaw (since HasTak is too ignorant so far to make Filch a toy) but was planning on collecting all of the minicons because I liked how they were shaping up but if that's their price that's just stupid. I thought the target price for these was $5.99; if it's the price for a deluxe I'll be skipping them.

They're out in Italy too! ^_^

5? ill be buying them all…
Grimlockimus
Yep those are my pictures, should match up with my crappy camera quality from previous sighting news.
Went down to Gurnee Mills and figured I'd check around for the deployers at Target and ended up finding these three. Though I didn't exactly find them on the shelf, noticed a box of them on a pallet being worked and asked if I could take a look at them. So for anyone looking for them you may want to use that DPCI and give Target a call first.

Nice! Which store was this? And are these your pictures? The receipt suggests they're from Illinois, and your location suggests you're in Wisconsen. Just want to make sure we credit these properly.
Slingshot
Bought on site. I can't wait to get these guys!
BenjaminXavier
Yay! Last thing I've been excited for in a while!

14 dollars? I might consider picking these up if I see them. Of course I don't really collect RID anymore.
Grimlockimus
Kinda figured the single packs wouldn't be far off after the deployers were found yesterday, and sure enough they have been found.
