Dirge huh? interesting.

Actually, if you look at their site, it's Ramjet not Dirge. Someone made an error in the press release.

yeah, it had better not be Dirge...

Seibertron staff NEVER checks news posts for mistakes,i mean come on,it only takes a few secs to read what you type.
Do they transform Optimus Primal into beast mode and put a banana on the keyboard? ;-P

Well, aren’t you just the most polite little thing. Seriously, they’re just as human as the rest of us, that’s a little rude.

BTW I is capitalized when referring to yourself, you do read what you type, don’t you?

You, are uninformed.

First off, the News Staff works pretty damn hard to make sure you have something to read when you come here.

Second, the news was posted in the exact form that BBTS sent it to us. The mistake was theirs, not Seibs Staff. We aren't in the business of editing their press releases, just passing them along. Also, if you notice, I pointed out the mistake not too long into the discussion.

If you have a problem or suggestion with the news, PM me about it.

I don't think Rhinox was calling the Dirge error ours, but he was making a heavily sarcastic statement saying we (the news staff) were being hypocrites about apparently never messing up.

Not sure when any of us claimed to be perfect, but we need to let this go.

There you go.

Well, I can't say anything in this update looks all that enticing. I don't really want to spend $20 more plus shipping for Movie Wingblade, I think I can handle the long arduous wait for him to appear in store.

So we're not getting Dirge?

Autobot Jazz wrote:So we're not getting Dirge?

Not yet.

it would be great if takara would also release dirge, thrust and thundercracker.

The Yamato 1/60th Roy VF-1S Strike Valk sure does look tempting....
