Are you guys serious?  The Jersey plates are for real?  If that's true it's beyond bizarre... Also, I was under the impression that white nose was only present in the test-shots.  I know good and well I saw Ricochets with all-gold faces not long ago.

Just picked them both up here at a Vegas Walmart this morning. I noticed Ricochet has New Jersey plates and Rollbar has Colorado plates... interesting!

I wonder how well US plates will go over outside the US?

The plates are for real.  As for the nose, for all I know, it might only be white on early releases of Ricochet.  The photo on the box does depict Ricochet with a painted nose, though.

Well, that's interesting... not really a deterrent, just an oddity.  I guess I'll have to start keeping an eye out, but my area just recently got the December wave, so it might be a while before I see anything.

 

Edit: Question - Is Rico a left-hand drive, or right?  I got the right-hand drive version of Silverstreak, and it'll be nice if Rico's that much different.

Got them on Layaway here in NC... no Optimus.. is he in the same wave?

no he's in the next wave if i am correct

Rollbar looks good, and I think his head sits a little bit higher than Swindle's.  The only problem I had was in the waist pieces.  It was difficult to get the two to snap together but I it eventually.

Both my BT Hound and Alt swindle had the same problem with the waist-snap issue. A little work with a needle file (very carefully) will take care of that. And the head sitting a bit higher is a good thing, I actually tweaked the joint on my Swindle so it wouldnt look like he was constantly trying to pull the front of the jeep over his head all the time...

I wonder how much of this has to do with Takara not being involved anymore...?

would Hasbro need permission to use state liscense plates?

I'm guessing "no"... anyway I was just thinking that maybe Hasbro wasn't as high on the idea of Autobot symbols on license plates as Takara was...
