Oh my, that's a lot to take in.

Asia Deluxes coming to the US? That's super awesome. Very happy about that. Will definitely grab a Springer and a Swerve, maybe a Powerdive too.

Wreckers Combiner? It's a very silly idea but I can see it working. Should have been Rotorstorm, Pyro and Ironfist instead of what's there, who really needs yet another Whirl or Roadbuster? Glad they're using characters old school fans will love, especially the first figure of Impactor. Won't buy them, but I'm glad they're out there. A little concerned that there's a fourth repaint of these guys before they even hit shelves but the fans seem to love it.

First Edition re-release? Good idea, sucks for people who bought them at marked up prices already but I'll grab a Starscream and a couple of Vehicons since the PRID one is so hard to find.

MP Thundercracker? Meh.

G2 Bruticus box? YES YES YES. That stuff is amazing. Not only is this the cheapest way of getting the 5, it's the coolest colours and now the coolest box.

Dark Energon? Love the Slicer homage, and the Skywarp release is good for those who didn't shell out for Takara. The others don't appeal. Repaints of Megatron in purple and black bore me to tears.

Blaster looks really nice. I hope they don't wimp out and make his colours "grittier" before release, I really dig the bright red and yellow. I like that the "tapes" are getting released individually even if it makes it harder to catch them all. This is exactly what Legends should be for; figures that are supposed to be small instead of tiny neutered versions of characters that have larger, more-functional, better-scaled toys.

Grimlock seems a little redundant. There are already at least three good G1-verse toys of him that turn into a T-rex. What a waste. Would rather get Sludge or Snarl, they've been pretty shortchanged since the Action Master days.

Linkin Park Soundwave looks incredibly sexy. Too bad it's Linkin Park.

That Grimlock is totally going to be replacing my Classics Grimlock on my shelf! Those Wreckers are probably the only way I'm going to get them, and I'll settle for that Springer as well. Personally, I'm looking forward to this once it gets to Canada. I also enjoy the Wreckers too! Going to have to get me Bruticus and Ruination now. I don't really mind the Linkin Park Soundwave, it looks pretty sweet and I like Linkin Park.

Everything looks fantastic....And a Voyager Grimlock, at long last :APPLAUSE:

I might be in the minority here, but I think the retooling of the Combaticons into the Wreckers is a stroke of genius! They look awesome, can't wait to get them.

Voyager Blaster looks great too, and I too would love to see this as a Deluxe repaint as well!

I can't tell. Is that Twin Twist and Topspin among the Wreckers? It'd be nice to see them revisited.

I'm with everyone else on this. Grimlock is nice, but the other Dinobots are long overdue for some love. I want the other two Insecticons to return as well.

It's awesome that I wont have to import the Asia exclusives. Sucks that I paided mark up prices for the first edition figures as I had absolutely no faith in Hasbro to re-release them. Same goes for DOTM Wheeljack and Soundwave if they end up coming here. I haven't bought a deluxe Leadfoot so that would be cool to release.
