Haha. Um, what? Unfortunately, they're counting too heavily on items such as the Prime and Starscream blasters. I saw them in person at a local shop the other day, but I wasn't impressed. Whatever, though. It's not my problem. There's just going to be so much excess crapolla for the next 6 months.

Isn't there supposed to be a TF super soaker, or am I thinking of the "battle rig blaster" as they list it on that graphic? Maybe it's just the Arizona heat, but that's sounding awful good right about now.

If you build it, they will come....

Yes, there was a super soaker scheduled with pretty much just about anything else one might want. The movie is the TF Marketing departments dream come true.

Are those Optimus vs Megatron RockmSockms!?!

I got the G1 candy punchers and think they're hysterical, so here's hoping.

At one Wal-Mart I went to they had a ton of stuff piled into a mountain Classics and Cybertron, I guess the last they will get in, I asked this guy about the exclusive Alternators he pulled out the second sheet and said these are all the toys I can order now, I just never got a picture of it.

He knew what the alts were but, he said that is all they would allow him to get in after it all sells.

Oddly enough my local Wal-Mart restocked a case of Alts, and now has a Rollbar and Ricochet again, did Rumble and Ravage come in a case with them? Or was it by itself.

Awesome. That means I can get MP Bumblebeebee for my birthday. And I can get Prime in 2 weeks. Seeing as how my TRU alwayys has stuff in stock at least a week early. That's why I already have Protoform Prime. Oh, and I want normal Bee too.

I'm just buying the regular figures. Maybe some figurines, too.

I take it that this display will be replacing the Spider-Man 3 ones when the time comes. YAY! :grin:

Yeah but a great majority of those figs sold. I have a feeling a vast majority of the movie product will collect dust and be on clearance when Christmas comes around.

True. I can see the regular figures going fast though. The RockemSockems and blasters will just sit there though. I want my Prime helmet. I've put aside the $30 that I don't have, to buy it.
