I might grab that Kre-O Grimlock just to make him G2.

And the G1-style color break up looks a LOT better than the Movie colors for Slog.

All of the G1 colors on the Dinobots look amazing. I wish Slog's tail was yellow (with chrome) simply because his body in dino mode is too gray.

Why U no check out the local stores? Currently, it's Sandstorm and Rhinox. Sandstorm and Rhinox everywhere. (At least, in Canada.)

I took a stroll through a couple lately but nothing. Looking for MPs in store has been a PITA for me.

Oh, SUNstorm. :HEADHURTS:

I dunno about the USA, but the Canadian release is set for around the end of August. THIS TIME, I may actually see a goddamn MP in a Québécois TrU officially... Aside from that completely unexpected and lone MP-Grimlock I managed to snatch instantly. 100$+15% of taxes was an unexpected blow to my budget. The rent will have to wait! :lol:

Eh, GEEWUN bait. Couldn't care less- the consistent grey looked much better. I mean, I can't see anything that would make me want to-

*notices chrome back spikes*

Where do I sign?

What's up with the "Vehicon" on display there? I thought it was going to be a redeco of DOTM Crankcase, but he looks unchanged. Did they not have the actual product on hand and put in Crankcase as a stand-in?

Same thing happened at BotCon. They had an unchanged Crankcase there too instead of the Vehicon redeco.

Though, speaking of this Vehicon, this, along with the Power Battler Vehicon, makes the Cemetery Wind vehicles as the bases for the AOE Vehicons, rather than anything produced by KSI.

Combiners superior.

RiD inferior.

Seriously, I am actually excited about combiners for the first time in years! That RiD crap is, well, crap.

Ordered 2 Sludges... now I just need to be on my game when the SDCC Dinobot set hits HasbroToyShop...

Do we have a timeline on that? Normally they put up the listing the week after SDCC, right?

Consult your supernatural fortune-telling medium of choice, because no one can predict when SDCC toys hit HasbroToyShop with any kind of informed opinion or even an educated guess. It will happen at some point that will not be announced beforehand, and everything worth having will be sold out in minutes, long before you see the news hit any website.

I thought they would put out a G1 Sludge some time. Snarl is the one I want, would like to buy G1 Snarl separately as I don't want the rest. But I doubt that will happen.

There's a new Decepticon duo right there :DANCE:

Seriously, I haven't experienced any falling apart on toys ever.Not even the notorious offenders 8-}

Sludge seems to have missed out on the clear plastics? Am I right? I can't see any.
As for all these cool reveals, it's harder and harder to get excited when not even Rhinox and co are in my stores. Even AoE generations have been shafted completely. My Tesco and Argos have nothing but the simple gimmick stuff. The only way to find AoE Gen. toys was a TRU in London (I stayed there recently) Other than that the latest Generations to be there are the Optimus and Bumblee legends figs with the minicons. They still had an FoC Sideswipe! Forget these combiners, I still need to find Swerve, cosmos, whirl and Rattrap :BOOM:
