A sheer mountain of sightings have been rolling in. New product is being seen in all sorts of places from our steadfast favorites to places with rare treasures like Kohls.

It seems that Sparty2304 and Ionacus, reported on the Impatient Michiganders Sightings Thread that they saw these two BRAND new REAL GEAR figures at a Toys 'R Us in Roseville, MI. While they did not buy them, or take pictures, these two forum members have provided us with many accurate first sightings in the past, so this is definitely a rumor worth believing.

So if you are into repaints, and REAL GEARs, check your local TRU for these repaints. Nightbeat 7 is a silver and blue repaint of the Booster x10 MP3 player mold, and Wiretap V20 is a red, black, and silver repaint of the cell phone, Speed Dial 800.

Keep an eye on your region's Seibertron.com Regional Sightings and Chat Thread, and also the Sightings Database for toys found at different stores and locations.

If we can get someone to purchase them, or take pictures of them we will, but otherwise we'll keep this posted as a rumor for now.

I'm not too fond of these repaints. The phone mould isn't the greatest and Laserbeak doesn't look so good in those colours.

If they painted the camera as Reflector and Laserbeak as Buzzsaw, I would have got them both.

I really like the MP3 player. Sure gold would have been awesome, but at least it's not purple and orange, right? (ala Armada Laserbeak, for those who do not understand the reference).

Damn straight, tigertracks 24. The thing is it's clear the designer wanted it to BE Laserbeak, and not just some generic robot like pretty much all of the others.

I like the RealGears, I realy do.

I have each mold, but I have no intent on shelling out for there repaints, reguardless of the fact that they may look better(and the frosted Ipod does).

Purchasing repaints is a sign to Hasbro that repaints are alright. Unless it's something real good, or part of an Ebay lot, I tend to pass
