Online store Digital Toys have placed a pre-order page for the upcoming Encore 08 figure.

And they have named Encore 08 to be none other than Jazz/Meister.

Digital Toys have listed that Encore 08 Jazz/Meister will be released in March 2008.



It would also appear that they have confirmed that the previously announced Sky Lynx re-issue which will be due in February 2008 will be the 7th Encore figure.

Apparently, Walmart is trying to play a trump card at the last minute with the Transformers DVD. Seibertron.com member payload reports that he bought the Transformers DVD from a Walmart in Ohio and he was given a free Movie Deluxe figure.

According to payload, the Walmart he went to keeps a bin of deluxes near the register and they randomly give you one. It has not been confirmed from any other part of the country yet, but it is worth investigating when deciding on which store you want to get your copy from.

If anyone else gets this "freebie", please let us know.

Bombus distinguendus has found some good news on the superherohype website.

It appears that Transformers 2 has had it's Writers Confirmed Sourced from: The Hollywood Reporter

Screenwriter Ehren Kruger and the writing team of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are in talks to team to write the screenplay for DreamWorks/Paramount's Transformers 2, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Director Michael Bay, star Shia LaBeouf and producers Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Don Murphy are back in their respective chairs, as is executive producer Steven Spielberg.

The trade adds that the teaming of A-listers to write such a huge project might be an industry first and could have been necessary because Kurtzman and Orci -- who wrote first movie -- also are busy writing J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie for Paramount and producing Eagle Eye for DreamWorks.

The three writers are also working together on Nightlife, a DreamWorks serial-killer project that sees Kruger adapting a Thomas Perry novel, with Kurtzman and Orci producing along with Neal Moritz. Kruger also adapted the Stephen King novel "The Talisman," which Spielberg is exec producing for TNT.

Kruger met with Bay and Hasbro president Brian Goldner and impressed the duo with his knowledge of the "Transformers" mythology.

(Rumor) Collector's Club Magazine Hints At Next Two Membership Exclusives? (Spoiler!)

Ever since the dawn of the new collector's club, and the first offering for membership being Skyfall, the recolored version of Energon Skyshadow, and the information that each year a new piece would be added to the set in the end creating a new version of an Energon combiner, speculation has abounded as to who the other limbs will be, and who they will use to create the torso.

Apparently, that bit of the mystery surrounding the club may be over.

The new portion of the club comic, "Crossing Over" features a picture that leads one to believe the remaining limb and torso will be...


S P O I L E R


Limb

Torso

Only time will tell if these are actually correct, and what the final color schemes will be.

Many folks will be happy (like me), and many possibly disappointed, if this news is true.

We'll tell you more when we know it, but don't expect scans of the picture from the club magazine, as that is against the wishes of the club and its members to share information like that until it is officially released to all of the Transformers Community.

Assume people will discuss the molds, so avoid the article, and the discussion if you do not want to know!

Seibertron's own BigBot has found an interesting tidbit of information, relating to the UK DVD release:

The total length of the extras is 148 minutes and 2 seconds.

Firstly, there are 3 easter eggs, titled "Michael Bay Cameo" (2m29s), "Girl in Dress" (1m57s) and "The Bay-Bot" (14s) and an extra feature not mentioned on the press releases, "Casting Mojo" (1m14s).

The most interesting thing is the possiblity of DELETED SCENES on the disc. There are 10 listed and are summed up below:

Sam Picks Up Miles - 28 sec
Maggie and Glen Intro - 1 min 49 sec
Police Station Drug Video - 41 sec
Fig wounded - 48 sec
Fig Death - 1 min 14 sec
Suv - 2 min 22 sec
Big Rhonda - 1 min 17 sec
Hoover Dam - 1 min 9 sec
Proving Lab - 58 sec
Simmon's President Speech - 23 sec

It isn't confirmed whether these are on the disc but if Paramount have spent the money to get them rated there is a very good chance.

The Deleted scenes are the same ones that can be seen in the IMAX version of the film, as Starscream reviewed in this thread.

BoxOfficeMojo.com and ComingSoon.net are both reporting that Transformers 2 is currently scheduled for a June 26th, 2009 release date. I highly doubt that date is set in stone, especially with the news that the G.I.Joe movie is also scheduled for a 2009 date. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

It appears some of our Australian brethren will get another shot at nabbing this highly desirable piece.

According to the Allspark, SDCC Alternator Rodimus will magically be appearing on shelves at select "Mr Toys Toyworlds" in the very near future.

This is very similar to what happened with Alternator Nemesis Prime last year as well.

So let's all start showing our Australian members all sorts of kindness, and maybe, if they can find some, they might pick us up one for a trade.

I'm sure the Australian Sightings Thread will be quite a popular place in the weeks to come!

Good day Mates!
