that's not true... I was able to get both quickslinger and breakneck off of toysrus.com months ago..... Hopefully they will do the same with groove and or blastoff... .if not just gotta wait for it on amazon.

It's not the same. Quick slinger and break kneck were repaints so it was easy for Hasbro to release them individually. Groove and blast off are new moulds. I doubt we will see them individually, but I'm hoping I am wrong!

Automaton Toys had them

Canuckables.ca also had them

Yeah Takara has already basically said that they aren't sharing Blastoff and Groove with Hasbro.

Source please

Regardless of the source, it's logical to assume that we won't see Groove and Blast-Off here.

Slingshot & Wildrider were simple retools/repaints of existing molds, whereas Groove & Blast-Off are totally unique molds.

We know that Hasbro and Takara have different standards for releasing figures. If something like the parts count is too high on either of these guys we won't be seeing them here. That's why we didn't get Prime Breakdown and the Jet Vehicon here.

If for any reason Hasbro would have to charge more money than they should for a figure of a particular size class, they won't release it. Why do you think we've never gotten the RID Train brothers since RID? They're too small for voyagers and too big for deluxes.
