I’m of course disappointed (though I can’t say I expected much different), but I do have a silver lining. I went over on my Transformers budget for this year, and I’m still missing Topspin, Skipjack, and Overload. With the next wave being a total skip for me, I’ll have no problems picking those guys up. Figures like Off-road Bumblebee and ROTF Soundwave that I wanted to get but didn’t after finding Jetfire are now back on the table!
I hear you on being able to save money!
I try to limit myself to a small selection of new figures every year, and most of my year is spent on older stuff if I find a good deal. So far, my preorders for next year are: Prime 10th anniversary Breakdown and War Vehicon, Gigawatt, and Kingdom Megs. I might pick up Kingdom Blackarachnia and SS86 Jazz after I see them in person and they catch my eyes, but I'm just gonna focus on getting on some of my more pricey odds and ends that I've had on my B-Day/X-mas Hubby list.
You know, as a kid I never made the connection between the G1 Sideswipe toy my brother passed down to me and the characters in the Beast Wars show on TV, until Michael Bay had Sideswipe as a Corvette.
