Q about the Movie toyline
Still trying to find ways to get the products through distribution, the problem was getting them there in the first place
Q on case assortments - they sya it is a challenge, based on what they think will sell, often adjusting on a daily basis.
Will the Rumble & Frenzy tanks ever be available in the US? No current plans, but they never throw out a mold - so it is a possibility
FoC Dinobot toys - no denying that Grimlock is going to be awesome in the game and everyone will want one. All five might be a bit tougher to do.
MP-10 will be a TRU exclusive
Question on last waves - out of Hasbro's hands
Classics Springer is a possibility No Classics Arcee yet - she is focused towards Prime
Prime Ironhide is a non-chow character, but he might show up elsewhere
No plans for a Classics Devastator yet - but if Bruticus does well then other Combiners might be tackled.
Interesting point - repaints are not as easy as they seem. They still have to go through the same QC and packaging stuff so not as much of a saving as you'd think
First Editions - the situation was out of Hasbro's control. Getting more of them out there is Hasbro's top priority now (they were amazed it took this long for someone to ask BTW)
On a follow up, why not put it all n Hasbro Toy Shop - comes down to various partnerships with different companies around the world. The reason that more content is not on there is to not undermine those partnerships.

Thanks for the great pics and info...Really liking Shock Wave. Now will Bruticus be available at retail or is he an exclusive?
They might do both, it'd be silly to just release him only in a complete box because people might only want one or two pieces.
The G2 version at Retail the game version is A SDCC exclusive
Some good stuff and some bad stuff there.
SDCC Bruticus is a win but why oh why is the good version the exclusive. Should be the other way round with the Neon day glow version as the exclusive. Off to eBay for this!
Generations Kick Back looks awesome. Must buy!
Generations Voyager Soundwave. Like the idea but just looks like a upscaled deluxe. Should have been G1 inspired. The tapes as data disks is a cool idea however.
Zombie Cliffjumper! YES! SDCC exclusive is a good outlet for this. I am in for one or two and it is great he uses the FE mold.
Wheres Prime Voyager Breakdown?
Still no news on the MIA Movie toys?
No developments on Prime FE?
No Generation 1 inspired Generations yet?
Formerly of Cyber_Syxx fame.
Is that the hasbro mp prime in that pic?
THANK GOD! MP-10 keeps his trailer and smokestacks! WOOOOOO!
