That’s right folks, the next wave of the Robots in Disguise 2015 toyline is up for pre-order! This particular wave is made up of two of the show’s villains, Thunderhoof and Quillfire, who each get new molds, while the third figure is a repaint of the Warrior class Drift figure, who sports a Blizzard Strike deco in a styling similar to that of the Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime figure in the preceding wave. While the listings don’t show any pictures of these three yet, you can check out their renders here to get an idea of what they’ll look like!
Wave 6 will be the second wave of 2016 with wave 5 being the first. Be sure to place your pre-orders by clicking on one of our sponsors to the right and click the discussion link to share your thoughts!

Wait.. hold the phones!!
Is that a gun that actually looks nice? Am I seeing things?
Nevermore
Not quite.
There was a Power Battlers case with High Octane Bumblebee, Vehicon and Junkheap (not Dispensor), and a revision that lacked Junkheap. BBTS only ever stocked the Junkheap-less case, Entertainment Earth stocked both cases.

Its probably something like they did with the power battlers & two e-tailers, Bigbadtoystore & Amazon had different case set up but same wave. Do you remember that? Like dispensor wasn't.in one & aoe bumblebee classic or whatever (black car n movie) was in the other
Nevermore
From the Entertainment Earth listing:
Megatronus is included in 2016 wave 2 again, Fracture isn't.
dCon
I'm not.sure if you wrote it different then you meant to but I don't believe this is 100% accurate. Megatronus Fracture come in wave one 2016. While Bliz Drift, Quilfire, & Thunder hoof wave 2. And in the wave 2 I didn't see Megatronus & Fracture at all.
Am I missing something? I know I checked to.see if wave 2 had them all to order a case to save on $$ & time.
dCon
Or go right now.& pre order Takara Fracture and Thunderhoof at HLJ as they just put up pre orders today. One catch, Thunder hoof is the BIG version but looks much more accurate then the dlx (unless he can fold down his larger rake part on his head to reveal the smaller more accurate horns. The way the legends does I'm pretty sure. Or the one step)
No its probably just the fact there are so many figures in the wave most collectors already have so they have to raise the price of the wanted versions.
Check out the BIG Thunderhoof by TakaraTomy it looks awesome! I hope the deluxe/warrior version can adjust his horns to the back leaving a smaller set of accurate antlers. I think he looks kinda off in the pics. But as time has told us time & time again, don't trust those pics enough to judge it by them. Plus I'll get him anyway lol
So Fracture has made it to.HTS eh? Hmmmm *goes to check HTS*
Nevermore
Wouldn't that be the fault of the postal service rather than Hasbro Toy Shop?

I hate HTS, last few times I ordered from them they sent it to one town then to another and then back in a game of tennis keep away.
Stygian360
Or wait for HTS… like how I (and many I'm sure because he's now sold out) was able to snag Fracture today through them.
Autovolt 127
Only interested in Thunderhoof and Quillfire couldn't care about the rest.

My take on it is new mold Warriors are selling decently but the repaint/repacks not at all. So they've bundled the most desirable repaint in with the two new molds and are charging an arm and a leg in hopes of making money on the case, because they know they'll never be able to move the umpteenth Optimus and Bumblebee redecos.
VictoryLeo19
My takeaway from those prices at BBTS is that RiD isn't selling well, at all. And they're completely forced to jack up the costs on anything just to break even. I really haven't been interested in anything RiD yet, but Thunderhoof is a definite buy for me, along with Overload.
Robogeek28
Never change BBTS, never change.
Starscream 91
I'll wait for retail, RiD is a line you need to see on pegs to deside, but I will get Thunderhoof & Quillfire. Maybe blue Drift to use as Blurr.
Grimlockimus
Was interested up until the point I saw BBTS wants $75 for three deluxes, one being a blue repaint of Drift.
Yeah for $25 a piece I'll just get the Takara versions or wait for HTS to get them in.
