We’ve got word that the latest assortment of Robots in Disguise Three Step Changers – and the first one to bear the new “Combiner Force” branding – has arrived at US retail. TFW2005 member Rookbartley reports finding the new Three Step Changers Grimlock and Thunderhoof at a Meijers in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Grimlock here is an entirely new mold, while Thunderhoof is a redeco of his previous Three Step Changer toy.
These two, along with new molds of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, were previously seen at a launch event for the assortment in the Philippines. We’ve also had reports that the Bumblebee and Optimus Prime are out in the wild at stores such as Five Below, so happy hunting one and all!

You.could follow Nevermore's suggestion but I understand what you mean. If things aren't really.on.your.radar I can see how it's easy to overlook. I.personally notice when we get new WWE figures, and i certainly dont collect oe buy WWE figures XD but i.come from smaller toy stores that what you have so it might be why

Pretty much the only one I'm interested in is 3step Soundwave.

My problem is I pay so low attention I have no idea if they are new or not.

There are some people that collect these like me & chuck for starts, as im sure alot of other ppl do too, so if are toy hunting, & see some brand new stuff I'm sure we'd appreciate it + you get your free news credit. I mean look at those combiner Force non posable figures those are super popular!
Thanks!

Lol. You are right. I saw them and went, "Meh"

Thanks!

Yes, and I apologize. I was right about Bumblebee and Grimlock not having prefixes but Thunderhoof does.
'Seismic Stomp'
The small text around Grimlock's name is just safety jargon.

Isn't Thunderhoof a redeco?

Thats because its not news. These have been around for a week or two but because no one cares about this line, no one cared to report it (like you), so the first person that does (even though its a while later) gets a news credit.
Also, that thunderhoof isnt really news anyway since its just a repackaged toy from last year.

I would hang out more but I forget to turn on notifications. lol.

Hey I caught one of your videos on YouTube the other day. You were out shopping/stalking for Voltron. I didn't realize you hung out around here. Aside from lack of articulation I really dig the new Voltron set.

View attachment 27669070 Yes, I know what you're talking about. There is nothing attached to the names on the packaging. Just 'Grimlock', 'Thunderhoof',and 'Bumblebee'.
I'd have to go back to Target to get a better picture, but I do have one of Bumblebee.

Wow. I saw Thunderhoof yesterday. Wish I had known it was news.

This isn't really news:
RID toys have consistently come to market, with just one exception (Deployer Crazybolt).
It would be news if it was a SECOND sighting of Generation toys previously reported at a different store chain. OR if this was a report that these toys were NOT coming (or delayed).
It's really not hard to find ANY of these RID, simplistic toys, imo. Stores really overstock. If your store doesn't have RID 3-step PRoduct X… likely you'll see it in a week or two. Yawn.

I saw thunderhoof yesterday also at target but I thought it was already announced. Same with kickback, bee, and gnaw

Saw these a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was already reported.
