Ah - yeah, well I reckon the reason there's little fuss is because they're characters that a lot of people wont care about. I mean, BW is divisive, you either love it or hate it and Armada is fairly new so there's little nostalgic value for Hot Shot.

'Streaker and the others appeal to the majority of collectors because they are from G1, hence the reason a lot of non-club members complained

Oh yeah, happy birthday munk!

I got sideswipe from BBTS, preordered him a few months ago.

global economy crashed? glad i bought my car at the weekend!

I'm no economist, so I really couldn't say. Let's hope something good comes of all this.

But it also means drops in manufacturing and sales, as well as job losses and currency drops. The pound's value is already dropping a lot.

Just a heads up to let everyone know that Hasbro has gone mad. Virtually everything, barring Marvel crossovers and other bits and bobs, on HTS has 25% off

25th ani Hot Shot, Dinobot, etc.

When Sunstreaker was revealed there was a massive clash between the haves and the have nots.

This time... nothing.

Sunstreaker's a proper Transformer, that's why people cared. Dinobot? Who gives a ****? Hot Shot? Unless he comes with jaAm I don't care.

Wheelie doesn't look to bad, sadly. And as he'll be £3, I might pick him up purely for comedic purposes.

You absolutely DON'T have a PM from me with a link. Because I wouldn't do such a thing and no one with the magazine would scan them.

No, not me.

Have to wait and see, I guess. Although with another film out next year, I'd guess we'll see at least some TF product on our shelves for the next couple of years.
