vorlonshadow of Seibertron sent us this nice preview of this months Collector's Club Magazine:

I recieved in the mail today the newest Master Collector News letter, and it
contained the latest TF collector club news letter. I didn't read all of it but I
can give some info on its contents. On the front they give a short review on
Frostbite, Page two contains an interview with Hasbros designers Aaron Archer and
Eric Siebenaler. Page three through five contain a review on the Action Masters
line.
Page six and seven have an interview with Palisades Designer Jeffry Englert.
They show 2 different pics of the War within Optimas Prime statue and 1 of the
Ravage statue. Page 8 and 9 contain an overview of the Cybertron toyline at the
2005 Toyfair. they have A list of the toy releases. They set it up like this:
size class/Takara names/Hasbro Names. They seem to be the same as the list that
showed up a short while ago, but with a few mistakes in the list. I'm not
entirly sure if this is the correct size but they have Liger Jack listed as a Voyager
Class and then they also have it switched with Live Convoy.
"Voyager Live Convoy LEO BREAKER"
"Voyager Liger Jack OVERCAST"

They also list Starscream in the Voyager class and Supreme class, so I remain
hopeful on that.

For Thundercracker the Hasbro name is listed as "THUNDERCRAACKER", Skids Is
listed as "CLOKER", and "Galaxy Comboy" as Optimas Prime.

Then Pages 10-16 are the Comic.

That is about it.

Be on the look out for your copy soon!

While I was enjoying my 1/2 day off from work for Good Friday, I decided to stop by a few stores on my way home. As I was killing time, I stopped by the K-Mart near my apartment in Chicago. They had the usual 6 month old figures that K-Mart always seems to have ... but I was shocked to see that they had recently received a shipment of Alternators that were about 3 - 4 months old. 2 Alternators Tracks and 1 Alternator Meister along with several Hounds, Dead Ends, Silverstreaks, and Sideswipes were there just waiting to be purchased. Tracks and Meister might be the 2 figures that are good examples of why you shouldn't give up on that K-Mart or Meijer that you drive by on a regular basis but don't stop at because they always have "old" figures.

Of couse, you know I have to take this opportunity to plug the site ... make sure you post your latest toy sightings in the SEIBERTRON.com Toy Sightings Section!
