It'll be a nice reprieve.

I'm eager to see what will become of the second deluxe assortment after the Prime toys are released. Hopefully we'll see some of those alternate head molds, especially the ones from Wreck-Gar.

The Wreck-Gar heads, I'd love em too but I'm not counting on them any time soon. Unless my chain was being yanked, it didn't sound like those were actually happening. At least not in the near future.

2010 was about cutting back and learning to figure out what figures I will dislike PRIOR to purchasing them. I think it was the first year that I left more things on the shelves than I purchased since I was flat broke and unemployed in college.

2011 has me dedicated to actively avoiding purchasing mistakes I've made in the past. Getting wrapped up in movie hype is #1 on that list. I like the movie toys, but there will be no hunting or purchasing another Prime, BB, Starscream etc. That book is closed.

I'm hoping Leader Ironhide will look good next to ROTF Optimus, but if not, I can live without him. Definitely no more Bumblebees though. I'm Bumblebee'ed out.

I feel ya, Battle Blades BB is pretty great. I don't think they can top him or ROTF Optimus Prime. There's a small handful of figures I'm interested in but that's it. I'm thinking Sentinel Prime, Shockwave and the new Powerglide. The new scale and direction for Human Alliance does little for me. They look interesting and like decent toys but I don't need any more small figures to store or offscreen characters. Not really, no thanks.

Agreed... It's getting easier and easier to just say "No"... This will help me to re-focus on my existing collection...

Neither? Vortex is the head-remold of HftD Tomahawk

I totally missed this topic last month. Man, Vortex and Air Raid are absolute musts. Damn Takara for coming out with more exclusives! But awesome also.
