New Xmods!!!!!

[peterbilt]

mini-z has alot of bodies.

[AeroSynch]

True; I just want to see something that isnt already out there.

[peterbilt]

like a 50;s or 60;s truck, or something new new, like a 2008 super duty ford.

[SUPERSHELBY]

07 GT500 wouldnt hurt much.....a Z06 maybe, but no exotics....i want either a crewcab pick up (F-150 or 08 Superduty), or the SVT Lightning....

[peterbilt]

the new super duty i love but they are having trouble with the particulate filter for the fuel. something about 10 foot flames out of the exaust. only with the diesel.

pedestrian warning may shoot huge flames at a moments notice.

[peterbilt]

that would suck if they shot out while you were sitting in traffic, new piant job.

[texan_idiot25]

That was a long time ago, and it was only 5 trucks effected. What happened was the turbo would crack, allowing way too much unburnt gas into the exhaust. And when it went into the burner (burns off excess stuff in the exhaust system, tight gov't standards require this)it would ignite the flames. What they did was reprogram the ecu to cut back on the motor if the EGTs got too high, which is what should have been done in the 1st place.

I think we should have more trucks, like a Chevy silverado, or a Land Rover. As for cars, erm, a Mercades CLK AMG, Eh, um... A Chevy stingray vette, eh, and that's all I got for now. OH, an infinity T30 Sedan, my friend has one, it's cool.

As for the RS person I talked to, she said that they had not been informed of what was going to be in the new inventory, just she knew the stuff was coming.

Land Rover LR3 or the Range Rover, or Infiniti FX45. As for cars, an Infiniti M45 would be nice.

[sensoryx]

has anyone walked into Toysrus yet and asked them?
So we've come to the conlcusion that Toysrus is carrying them? or am i dreaming? lol

[RallyWRX]

Toys R Us had them but they all sold out, actually, they don't have hardly any Transformers stuff, just a few items, they sell out way fast. I went there the other day, nothin.

I also think that "new products" does not mean xmods. Like they said, the last few they put out didn't sell very well, so bye bye.

Oh, I was in RS the other day and saw the new products that will replace the xmods, they're little robotic bugs that crawl around and turn when they hit walls or if you clap your hands. Anyone up for a race?



You may find it interesting though that RS have several of the same Transformers toys as Toys R Us. For example, the voice changing Optimus Prime helmet.

I can't help but feel a bit sarcasm but.... My Robotic bug will whip your robotic bugs *** on the straights anyday of the week! lol... In all seriousness though, I just hope they bring something out, that still offers the same kind of fun and customization abilities (if not more).

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen in my life (honestly) . If this trash replaces XMODS then someone better call the Orkin Man...


EDIT: On a side note, the Transformers merchandise is not selling good at all around here. The Transformers Xmods are sitting on the shelves collecting dust at local RS's. I have not seen a single Barricade sold yet and the only ones that have been purchased are the Bumblebees's. I have not seen any of the weapons/light kits sold either; which doesnt surprise me any...lol.

[RallyWRX]

It's a joke, dog. But fo reelz, I don't think we'll be see'n more xmods after these Transformers. Maybe, but it's not looking good. The stuff in stores now that's not Transformers is down to $25. I say if you wanna stay with the same scale, start looking into MiniZ.

Hey Kaze, my bug has the motor upgrade, so look out!

Yea, I figured the bugs replacing XMODS was b.s. Anyways, has any one heard if they are planning on reducing the price of the Transformer XMODS when the Transformers craze dies down? I spoke with the manager of one of my local RS's (seems to be up on the XMODS culture) and he said that they do not have control over the price of them and they(Radio Shack in general) have to pay $15 for each starter kit; therefore he states that they will never go on clearance because Radio Shack has no control over this line of XMODS. Just wanted to know if you guys have heard anything about this or not?

[RallyWRX]

I hadn't heard that, it seems weird though, I've been holding out for them to go on sale, maybe I better just get them if that's the case. I'm really only interested in Barricade, cuz I want a police car with working lights.

[slpknt17]

eh i don't like calling them tras formers, and idon't care if its spelled right or not, yea the movies cool and all but transformers arn't my thing, but the 07 camaro concept and the police mustane arn't a bad idea, i just wish they had body mods not these crapy weapon upgrades
