its probably gonna go on til at least christmas, i wouldnt worry, i'm pretty sure all stores like TRU, walmart and target will be stocked for holiday season, if u missed them at first just try to get them early when they come out again

i agree!! while they were suprised at the response they got and were'nt ready for it!, i feel by christmas the stores will be full of stuff!! especially if the DVD pops around the holidays!!!

the only one i really want that i havent found is 08 BB, but i'm counting on the stores to restock for the holidays to get doubles of a few, like optimus, to keep in the box

Most likely going to stop when the Animated line comes along.

It was stated at Botcon that there would be a steady stream of stuff through Christmas and that the line would be slowly phased out at the start of 2008 to make way for the animated series, but that currently the line had no definite 'end point.'

Keep in mind we haven't even got a clue when stuff like the Osprey Voyager (forgot his name) and Evac are coming out.

I'm not sure, however, there seems to be a huge trend going on for G1 repaints, and they seem to be doing well. So far we have:

G1 Repaint Starscream
G1 Repaint Jazz
G1 Repaing Ratchet
G1 Repaing Thundercracker

We're also going to get:

G1 Repaint Optimus Prime (Voyager)
G1 Repaint Cliffjumper

When? I don't know. But there are still possibilities for more G1 repaints like:

G1 Repaint Skywarp
G1 Repaint Ultra Magnus (for Voyager Prime)
G1 Repaint Ironhide

and a few others.

There are also some new figures coming out like Evac, Incinerator, and others that have repaint potential like that deluxe Cadillac SUV. So there is a lot out there, and hopefully, Hasbro will take full advantage of that! :)

I'd like to see that possible Ultra Magnus repaint for Voyager Prime since I don't want to get another Prime (already got Leader), this will be a perfect excuse =P

And I'm looking forward to seeing the new molds too.

The guys at Botcon already said they like doing repaints of items so lets hope they do more!!!
