Hey folks... long time reader, new user here. Just got an email from BBTS with info about a case revision to Generations wave 2 (Bruticus) you might be interested in:

"Hi - we wanted to let you know that Hasbro has just announced a new and slightly different Generations Deluxe case assortment called Series 02 Revision 02. This case is exactly the same as what you preordered (Series 02), except they replace one of the two Optimus Prime figures with Shockwave. So the case now contains Shockwave, Prime, Jazz, and one each of the 5 figures that form Bruticus. We have moved all preorders over to the new assortment, which is also scheduled to arrive in September. If for any reason you wish to receive the original case that contains 2 primes and 0 shockwave, you can just reply to this email and we will switch it back for you, or you can place the new order on our site and cancel your preorder for the Wave 02 Revision 02 Case.

Thanks!
Joel

Well played, Hasbro. Well played.

I was looking at that OP mold at TRU yesterday, and still can't believe how awful it is.

Yeah OP is really bad, I really wanted to give it a shot, until I saw it in person the other day. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but dang he's tiny! Hopefully UM looks a lot better in hand (despite the size).

Interesting move, Hasbro. I guess it's our turn to put you in check-mate?

Had they announced this sooner, I would have just ordered a damn case from Hasbro.

On the other hand, this is a good step in the right direction.

Yeah, I love it. It's VERY collector friendly. Hell have we ever had a case pack with all 8 pieces being different molds (not even a repaint included)? And yeah it would have been nice to have the info a bit sooner, but sadly delayed info is Hasbro's MO lately. No time frame on MP OP, still don't know the exact packout for any upcoming Prime Voyager waves ... but this is definately a nice thing to see!
