Which part of Kansas are you in?

But I can't help thinking about 'Insecticon'. He was supposed to have come out months ago as well. But I didn't see him in stores until 3-4 weeks ago. His release was extremely delayed, but eventually plenty of him turned up.
Will the missing RTS/Generations figures pull the same trick? I don't buy into the 'conventional wisdom' that once May rolls around, toy stores will put NOTHING on the shelves but the movie3 figures. For movie 1 and 2, the toys always shared space with with classics, animated, universe, et. al.
Besides, by all the pics and reviews I've seen, the movie toys look like another dud to rival the Crapper-Crap Combiners. They can call 'em 'Mech Tech' weapons if they want - but they're mini-cons all the same. And mini-con lines just don't do all that well. (ahem - PCC)
So I'm not going to panic just yet. I bet in May, June and July, these cool RTS/Generations figures will trickle out onto store shelves. We just have to wait for the movie hullabaloo to die down and for people to realize that the Bay figures are no great shakes.
