Hardly any toy news these days. When are the cartoon toys hitting?

yes im in a huge state of withdrawl. I have everything i want thats out in stores right now. for a while it was a new transformer a week for me but now theres nothing. the allspark wave cant come soon enough for me. my family and friends will call me on the phone from the store and ask if i have this transformer, they sound excited that they found something but i always say yup i have it. they don't understand how OCD i am when i know something is out there i dont have i go from store to store at all hours in the dark of night to find it. so now all i can do is sit in my office and gaze upon my collection and try to feed the need by transforming some of them. at least now i have an extra masterpiece starscream to repaint. that should take up some of my time. till then the car is filled up waiting for new stuff.

I hear you. I also am waiting for the next line of my obsession to arrive. Still, to pass the time, I bought a few of the new G.I.Joe 25th aniversary figures. Pretty cool stuff. I also collect Heroscape.

I was pretty obsessed for a while, especially since after I collected them all I wanted to also get the MISBs. However, thank goodness the post of repaint Prime and Bonecrusher cured me of that real quick!

I'm going insane waiting for news from Hasbro about Classics 2.0.



I must know who they plan to release dammit!

I understand the withdrawl thing although i only buy the bits a like (so there are literally dozens of tf toys i could still buy in target right now). All the griping over the animation toys will turn to frenzied love as soon as most start getting sick of 'the same old movie toys' 'the same old allspark toys' warming the shelves, you hear it all the time, i remember people complaining when all they could find were a few classics on peg and no movie toys and earlier still no classics on pegs just those horrible cybertron toys!!

the sheer novelty of the animation toys when they start to appear (is that 3-4 months away, arrgh) will have even haters buying a few 'just to see how crap thye really are'.

Today I got Movie Leader Brawl, Movie Leader Prime and Arcee in the mail. The two leader toys are awesome. Simply fantastic.

Masterpiece Starscream will come in soon, but then not much for a while.

Plus for the past couple of weeks there hasn't been much to read about either.

Thank god there are enough new PC games to keep me busy. Crysis is orgasmic.

The movie guys aren't my cup of tea so I've been in a bit of withdrawl for a while now. I keep wanting to check Wallmart only to remember "Oh yeah, stuff I want isn't out for a while...".

Oh well, that's why there's ebay, right? Always something else to keep ya hooked!

Yes there is eBay, but I've pretty much gotten all I want.

If anything, I'm suffering from money withdrawal. There are so many TF's out there I still want to buy. *sigh* I wonder how much my kidneys would sell for on eBay.

If each kidney is good condition (C-9) you should consider "buy it now" for $19.95 each with free shipping...mine are about C-6, too much beer

I don't care as long as it's Sideswipe.
Anyhoo, withdrawl, no. I've bought at least 4v in the lat week..which is a record for me, I don't make regular money.

Oh yeah, definitely understand some of the severe cases of withdrawal some of us poor saps are experiencing. I'll go to Wal-Mart and TRU with rather low expectations, look at the pegs full of figures I already have or lens-heads I don't want, then wonder why I came to said store in the first place. Oh yes, the thrill of collecting, I remind myself. How exciting it was to unexpectedly spot MP Starscream and hurry at a feverish pace after seeing a scalper walk past with a cart full of about 8-10 of that very figure.

On the plus side, this lull has allowed me to actively pursue more Alternators and other past lines I missed the first time around. But yeah.....some new TFs would be nice at the local retail stores. You just can't beat that thrill of getting your hands on a figure you've been longing for online for a few days.

Believe me you, if there were none left on the shelves(thankfully there were 6), I would have created a scene.

You're preaching to the choir brother. I just can't stand it waiting to hear or to see what else is coming for Classics 2.0. Since I'm feeling the withdrawl symptoms I have been using ebay to start and grow a G2 collection and possibly fill in my G1 Decepticon ranks.

What really sucks though is that there are very few Decepticons in good condition out there. But you can find Autobots on every virtual ebay street corner. Patience will have to be my ally in my efforts.

Man, i wanna try chrysis soooo bad. It looks...soooo good.

I'm suffering from some withdrawl too, but luckily there are still some classics for me to get. Unfortunately, after that is over, there won't be much to get...I plan on skipping the animated line, I would rather save that money and wait for classics 2.0. so excited.
