Oh, and while we're (well, I'm) talking about versions never released, and stores using the wrong stock photos...    The comic book pack-in versions of wave 1's Alpha Bravo, Firefly and Skydive have never been released anywhere in the world (except for one guy who claims he saw them at TRU but then never replied again when asked for clarification), and guess where I found these stock photos... UK-based The Entertainer. (I also found a super-sized version of Firefly's photo at a Brazilian distributor's website.) The only wave 1 figure that was actually re-released in English-only packaging with a pack-in comic was Dragstrip, who shipped in a revision of wave 2 that replaced one of the two Air Raids included in a case with him. Found at Walmart and Toys"R"Us stores.  Dragstrip's photo has been available in several places, including a super-sized version at the aforementioned Brazilian distributor's website, ToyWiz and The Entertainer. |

Evidence suggests the RID G1 Grimlock wave is out here now. Several sightings, and one in hand picture.
Will be my first RiD toy when I see it.

Hope they've fixed the moulding problem with the robot elbow, be careful with that or the ratchet will pop out as soon as you try to move it.

Seen em myself!
A case of not remembering when I have updated and not really being bothered by them!

Spotted an RID Jazz in The Entertainer, don't know if he's popped up on these shores before.

That sounds about right, maybe even a little longer. The following wave, Grimlock and Night BB, is starting to be found now.

If that wave and the white Prime turn up here I could be tempted.

Not at all surprised at the rip-off price. Import or BUY BRITISH. Tough choice.

Still missing RID Stomp & Chomp Grimlock (US released the same day stock photos were found).
3-Step Sideswipe is US released.
Still missing 3-Step "Blizzard Strike Autobot Drift", who might or might not be in the same wave as Thunderhoof.
Legion Drift, Windblade and Thunderhoof are presumably wave 6, since they were all shown together at SDCC.

More gray imports it seems. That's Canadian/Latin American packaging. Weird.
