Was almost tempted into buying the Combaticons, but then I remembered I really don't like them.

I did get PRiD Rumble from TRU though. Waiting patiently for Steve to show up.

Problem with dodgy country econemy, shops are alot more careful what they order in, and there aint many big toy selling shops around anymore and with the stupid amount of dfferent toys compared to 10-15 years ago transformers was always going to become sparce unless something big comes along. Ive got children aged 0, 2 and 4 and nieces and nephews aged 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7. None of them or their friends are interested in tf's, its all ben 10, wrestling marvel or batman. Even Angry Birds so tf's are always gonna be the casualty instore.

Toys r us have a constant stream of generations atm, but smyths say they aint even on their manifests

Is it actually kinda funny that with your children, nieces, and nephews' ages, like, combined, you can count from 0 to 7, or am I just bored and easily amused :p

What I don't understand is that when Classics launched transformers was not mainstream, no movieverse no animated no prime, however Classics figures were widely available, I remember seeing Astrotrain, Mirage and even Ultra Magnus/Skywarp all over the place and I don't just mean toy stores, Supermarkets, Wilkinsons even bloody Woolworths stocked these guys, yet now Transformers is enjoying its first real success since the death of G1 yet can I find any CHUG figures anywhere? No is the answer, missed out on Hound, Thundercraker, Wheeljack and Shockwave forcing me to pay inflated prices on eBay to complete my collection.

Yeah. but also think what was mainstream back then. You can now add Avengers, Angry Birds, Bakugan, that other thing like bakugan which i can never remember the name of, Turtles, Power Rangers Samurai has done very well, Lego is everywhere again Batman is huge again. It aint just transformers that got very popular recently.
