Some new Robots in Disguise Warrior class toys have arrived on US retail store shelves! TFW2005 member Soundwavempl reports finding Warrior class wave 7 in Walmart stores in the Houston, Texas area! This assortment introduces the mass retail “red” version of the Warrior class Power Surge Optimus Prime, along with the equally red Windblade and the extremely cool Decepticon Scorponok into the mix. Scorponok in particular is very cool and worth the effort to track down – happy hunting to all looking for this wave!

Fixed that for you.

They arent. Its just hot news because these never came to the states yet. But Canada had them for over a month now. So its only hot news for a very slect geographic region.

I am tempted to buy her. The Thrilling 30 one was terribly constructed and I sold it. Was thinking this one looked more solid.

I want to like Windblade, since I never once saw the T30 figure at retail… but the ridiculous lack of paint just makes me unable to be behind that.
Seriously, her head…

I just saw these in my Walmart here in Canada, didn't know these were so sot after. I'm not getting scorponok cause I have paralon, and I don't want prime and already had a quillfire from awhile ago. Only one I wanted was windblade.

Thanks! Just writing from the heart. Love that Scorponok, one of my favourites of the whole line.

There are stores that actually have RID Deluxes? I'm surprised. Virtually every store around me has had empty pegs for most of the year, or wave 1 remnants.
Deadend
Need to find that Windblade.
Oh and @Sol Fury, cute write up.
T-Hybrid
Wonder if these hit stores near me first or my Amazon order actually starts processing.

Saw these at my local TRU here in South Jersey yesterday. Didn't realize they hadn't been spotted yet. I also saw Leader Blaster and Powermaster Prime at the same TRU, which was the first time I've seen them in stores, too.

Still waitng for the single pack Mini-Con Weponizers dammit!

I started a thread on this topic a few weeks ago and was basically declared insane for it.
So is the RID line mostly done at this point?

It just seems like not a lot of care is put into the RID line anymore, kind of a shame since I love all the Warriors I've gotten so far. That Windblade looks nice but I'm afraid I won't be seeing her in stores anytime soon.

They were first sighted at US retail back in May:
RID Warriors Thunderhoof and Quillfire US Sighting – Transformer World 2005 – TFW2005.COM
Slingshot
The distribution of the entire RID2015 line has been horrible in the U.S., if I'm not mistaken. I never saw Warrior Class Thunderhoof or Quilfire at retail, and I'm sure very few people saw them at retail.

I think they've been out at US retail for a couple months now, I remember ordering them on Hasbrotoyshop back in April or May I think and a short time later someone found them at stores. But for the most part I've only seen the first two waves at retail, saw the third wave once, and just recently a bunch of stores finally got the Fracture wave. (Distribution in my part of Ohio is VERY shitty)

As promised, here is the picture with Power Surge Optimus Prime:

Yeah, that's the case ratio listed at Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store and BBCW Distributors too:
Transformers Robots in Disguise Warriors Wave 7 – Hasbro – Transformers – Transformers at Entertainment Earth
Transformers Robots in Disguise Warriors 2016 Wave 03 – Case of 8 – Transformers Robots in Disguise 2015 RID Warriors
BBCW Distributors :: Pre-Orders :: Transformers Robots in Disguise Figures – Warriors Class Figure Assortment – AS0C
Weird, those two (and Blizzard Strike Drift) have become very common at German retail at this point…
Starscream 91
Woah! Thats the first I've ever seen Quillfire and Thunderhoof at retail…
Anyway, yeah I don't expect these two to be hitting up this area for a LONG time, probably going to wait for Hasbrotoyshop on this one.
