It was during the Q&A session at the end of the conference. Not much was said aside from that and the fact that hasbro was not aware of distribution having more problems now than before. They said that all shelves should be stocked by April 24th. Those were the two key points.
The other stuff was the clones all being done but not sold individually at retail (which was said all week-end, hence why its been discussed quite a bit) and that the Evil redeco of Leader Optimus prime from AOE was just to be sold in Asia. I dont know of anyone who will be heartbroken over that since he had the most negative response I had seen in a while when he was revealed.

Well they had said exactly two years ago at the same event that there were no plans for a full Computron and that hapened, so I guess anything can happen. As for straight redecos, I dont think that means anything. CW had straight redecos in the legends class, and so did thrilling 30 before it, this could too.

I do and yes, you are correct, will news this once I have finished here. And Bodrock, if ever you find something else that is new, let us know. Just click the link in my signature to contact the news team.

Here, I voiced my disappointment with Nautica and recieved a mixture of opinions, but all polite and constructive.
Meanwhile, over on Allspark, I made known my dislike of their attempt at a Nautica (specifically how it didn't resemble the character that well) and all I got was a bunch of people whining at me that there was nothing wrong with it, how it would be considered awesome if it had been a BotCon release, and how I should be grateful Hasbro were making one at all.
So please, Seibertron, carry on being awesome.
Great to hear. We here at Seibertron are famous for 3 things: Most in depth Galleries, our more family oriented and pleasant environment, and for being friends with Stan Bush.
Also, I really do think if this was a club release people would have had a very different outlook. But its because the club rarely did much in terms of new tooling aside for the head so people would have seen this more worth the usual $40 per figure compared to straight redecos.

Sure, and knowing what they go for, which is about sticking to the G1 toys, they would probably just make them redecos:
Transformers G1 1986 Eject GalleryQwan wrote: Magnificus, in my mind, is absolutely perfect in every way for one of these boxsets: easy repaint/re-head with no real "important character have to buy it" clout but plenty of collector appeal, and a sort of 'premium' feel to him; in my mind he's a very similar sort of thing to Metalhawk in that regard.
I agree, he would be perfect. Too perfect, so it wont happen
Joking aside though, the box set contents were part of that rumour list, so since Magnificus isnt there I wouldnt expect him to be in a box set. Not saying he cant be, but the odds have gotten lower compared to others.

To be fair, I think many of us were being cautious in our optimism. We knew she would be from the blurr mold for a while now, I dont really know how else she couldt have turned out with that mold. I would have liked a different shade of purple though.

Yeah but the mold was literally the G2 Prime design. The one we got at retail is the predeco
- Leader: Magnus Prime is a redeco of an import, Quickswitch has new parts.
Anything else aside from his face and helmet?
