If you remember, Big Bad Toy Store´s website offered what they called "an exclusive run of Battle Unicorn figures" that they made a special deal with Hasbro to aquire. Well, according to a credible source, the truth of the matter is not what it seems. The figures were already in the cases. Hasbro was going to sell them to KB Toys for about 1 dollar per figure. BBTS.com simply offered Hasbro about $0.25 more per figure for them. It doesn´t make much difference, just thought you guys might like to know.

RUMORS: Several sources have informed me that Tracks and Skids will be the next Takara Transformers reissues. Given Skids' HIGH popularity (that's sarcasm there folks), I'd regard this as a rumor until further confirmation is available to the public. On the Hasbro side of Transformers reissues, Starscream is the next figure rumored to be part of the line of Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and Optimus Prime. I would take this bit of news as fact since it appears Hasbro is, for the most part, following Takara's path with PVC and Reissue releases. Fact or fiction? You decide!
