The spear will be out soon (if not already in some areas) as part of the
newest Throwbot-Technic line. The one that has it is not technically (sorry

They are called "Robot Riders." The one that has the trans-lt-blue spears is
called "Frost," #8511, (notice the simular numbering?)I'm gonna buy up scads
of them.
