You were still going to get them even though they are gimmick toys like the BB movie line?
There are 0 RotB Studio Series figures coming out this year, according the years-worth of mainline SS listings were found in the big Target leak with Legacy.Spider5800 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Spider5800 wrote:Hmm, not sure how I feel about this.

I doubt I'd get the gimmicky subline stuff, but there could very well be more traditional style toys and Studio Series stuff for the movie releasing at the same time, just like they did with Bumblebee. That was what I was specifically referring to.

william-james88 wrote:Man, I don't know if I am the only one but I check facebook every couple of hours to see if anyone in the various TF groups I am part of has posted images of the upcoming ROTB toys. Unlike many others, I do not think these will get the fan friday treatment. The BB toys were announced with no buzz since they were not targetting collectors, same as these. And with them just being 2 months away (as far as we know), they must be out there somewhere, not on the factory floor but in packaging and with stock photos available for retail sites. It feels like there is a bunch of stuff out there just waiting to burst out. And in this case it ends up being our first look at any character. So it's very exciting even though the toys themselves are not for me.

Few to none of these figures are made for us so I don't think it matters.
I think most fans will do the same they did with Bumblebee, just get the Studio Series versions when they come out.

Well, unless some of us think the "kid's stuff" is rather awesome and buy it anyway.
Like that huge lights and sounds Bee, Power Charge Bumblebee for me.
It's seriously cool and goes well with my others big lights and sounds Bees.

Wasn't/isn't Gamefly a video game rental service? Not sure how I feel about pre-ordering figures without seeing them first.
