When is the new Hunt For The Decepticons G2 Laser Optimus going to be released? It looks awesome. Also, when are the new Reveal The Shield toys, including Battle In Space, coming out?

All we can really say is the first quarter of 2011. If you check out some websites with preorders, you may be able to go off the estimated arrival date.
I presume it will be out sometime in January for the Hasbro version, as for the Takara version, I'm not sure, but I think it's coming out later than that.

First wave of Reveal The Shield will sneak into retail in Asia by the end of the month. Probably be hitting North America by the end of the year, but not fully released till 2011[. Laser Prime won't be till 2011.

I agree that the Generations Laser Prime doesn't look all that great from the pictures we've seen thus far. However, he will look pretty good in my Neo G2 display, and he'll almost guarantee a Gnerations RID Scourge repaint. As far as I'm concerned, that's reason enough to get excited for him (or the mold at least).

I kinda like the look of Laser Prime, but I'm really excited for Battle In Space. When's that coming out?

Battle In Space will be released the same time as the first waves of RTS.

Will the Reveal The Shield toys be out in Wal-Mart and Target and such by Christmas?

RTS is already out in a few Walmarts, but they're mainly available at K-Mart and Walgreens of all places. The new PCC 5 packs and Generations figures are also out.

Depends on where you live and how well the TF 2010 line is selling there. If they can't sell all the waves they have quickly, the 2010 figures will be on the shelves going into January. A lot of stores can't get rid of wave 1 and still have more waves in the stock room they need to sell. If they can get them to sell fairly well, then you could see RtS at the end of the month.

With Christmas upon us hopefully some of that wave 1 back log with get cleared out. We've already got wave 1 RtS in my area, as well as the latest wave of Generations with Thunderwing.

That's the first wave of HFTD, so things seem to be selling slowly at your local Target, sorry to say.
