1.) The guy at Toy Fair didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, when he fed Counterpunch all of thar disinformation.

So, there is real interest in bringing it over. However, don't expect to see anything soon. Essentially, this will depend on a retailer coming through with an exclusive. From the tone of the conversation, it seemed as if that was not going well. Remember though that it took around a year to get Grimlock from Japan to the Western markets. However, we also got info on that at Botcon and SDCC. So, I would look to that as your answer on if we'll see Rodimus in this year or next.

I betcha this is revealed Sunday at BotCon just like I expected and it apparently did take a retail exclusive to bring it around.

Accidentally.

If you want the Takara one with Trailer buy it. If you want the USA one buy it.

one toy i'd like to see them redo in one form or another is sludge. It looked good but the dno mode bothered me cos the legs couldn't be moved
