I think i will pass on the whole lot tho, it just doesnt make me jump up and down going 'gimmegimmegimme!'.
Lack of Gen/Rts announcements is a tad disappointing but considering the HUGE step up in quality over Universe (aka Cybertron repaint-verse) i think they see that the market is there and we will continue to be supported
still........
I WANTED TO SEE A PAINTED WARPATH!!!! lol

-Those Wal Mart SKUs for Arcee and Starscream-
Those were meant to be the Prime toys. They are NOT Classics style figures. Originally, the Prime toys were going to be fit into the Generations line. Now they are getting their own 4th quarter 2011 line. What we have seen so far is a pre-cursor wave, kind of to avoid the whole Animated show/toy debacle. We will get a new Prime and Megatron in larger sizes. Starscream will not necessarily get a larger toy.

Should I thank you for the info or curse you for squashing my last bit of hope...that I already assumed to be the case. How about both? Thanks, ya hope crushing jerk-face!

No no no no.
Punch people.
It's much more satisfying.

They said iGear's seemed to have better plastic and joints. I like iGears head better, but not sure if it's $40 + whatever they're charging for shipping better.

I'm pretty happy with how decent/good the Prime toys look. Good to know Prime and Megatron may be getting larger figures. I can't say I'm surprised if PCC is done with already. The only response I hear about them in general is negative. I love the 2 packs myself. Did you by any chance ask about any other WFC figures?

No, I didn't. I don't know if I'd say PCC is done either. But it might seem that new molds may be done. They were really non commital about it all except for acknowledging that it had no presence here and no new product to show off.

See, I kinda take that in stride. People either don't realize or forget that Toyfair isn't the fan event people think it should be. It's to market toymakers new product lines and wares to stores looking to buy what they're offering. It's to hype the NEW lines and not so much the products that are already spoken for. It's why I expected to not see any info about PCC or Generations. I'm okay with PCC continuing or ending either way. I really dig em though. They're fun to keep around and fidget with. At least the 3 I've got anyway.

I WANTED A NEWLY MOLDED VOYAGER RATCHET THAT WAS SIMPLY SMALLER, AND WHEN HASBRO HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY, THEY DIDN'T CAPITALIZE ON IT!! WHAT THE HECK??!! (Ugh!! Anyway, I'm just glad I passed on HFTD Bumblebee so I could get the better looking DOTM deluxe Bumblebee. At least he's the same size.) One major upside the DOTM toys being smaller though is that Skids and Mudflap can be in better scale with ma collection.
