Tracks! Damn! I had to get up and look at my shelf to remember Skids to, you ninja'd me before I had a chance to edit lol. Poor Skids haha.

[Crazy Jetty]

I'd forgotten Skids, too. I only remembered him when I saw him on the list. Though I went over your list five times to make sure I wasn't just missing Tracks on it.

Transformers being at this price for retail is really going to dampen the hunt...

[BlackMagnus]

^Wow...that blows. Makes me happy that I am currently all caught up on retail releases.

Except Prime.....come the hell on already!! lol

Camshaft's on the high end because he was one of the End-of-line releases. Thankfully, the only time I found him, I had the money on me and bought him immediately. I wish I could say the same for Swerve. He's the only retail release I still need to have a complete MISB set. Still wish I had bought him at Target when I had the chance.

Nope. Between you and CrazyJetty, you got all the US-released Alternators, including the two exclusives (Rodimus and Nemesis). Of course, if we include the Binaltech and Kiss Players releases, that's a whole different story.

I'm really looking forward to them, but it's what? A month away, still? Frankly, I could use the break.

[Crazy Jetty]

The prices are so beyond dissapointing. In fact, just about everything Hasbro's done in recent years is behind the times, and dissapointing.

Dark of the Moon offered the best opportunity in years to completely redesign the line from the ground up, to accomidate the new trends of smaller scales to match the rising prices.
Instead of getting rid of the scouts (Again, UGH!), they needed to embrace them the way they did back in the Beast era, Energon, and Cybertron.
They needed to make the scouts the focal point of the line. Make it the "new" deluxe, by putting all the normal deluxe type characters in as scouts. Movie Bumblebee, Barricade, G1 Prowl, Starscream.
Scale back about 75-85% on the deluxes, and focus the "bigger" guys and stars there. Movie Ironhide and Ratchet, and even the obligatory Bumblebees and primes. Mostly use it as the new mega or voyager, even. Save Voyagers for even larger and less common guys, and superstars, like Movie Prime and Megatron (Basically, aside from some scaling back, pretty good there.
This would also make the Legends/Legions more viable as parts of a full collection, and more interactive with the mainline. (IE, Legends Trailbreaker wouldn't look completely rediculous next to a lineup of scouts, the way he does to a lineup of deluxes)

And up to DotM, we've gotten a pretty sizable chunk of G1/G2 updated in classis. So a new turning point and a new focus wouldn't completely alienate and piss off the longterm classics collectors the way it may have two years ago.

No kidding, good thing I only collect the Generation line, basically based from the G1 cartoons and not the Prime ones. Although they are pretty awesome.

Oh does anyone have an extra Blackout/Scorpinox box set? Trying to find it...

[bmorr]

ok, news of actual new product aside, is there gonna be any more generations toys?

This thread needs some Soundwave appreciation

Generations/Fall of Cybertron will return in the fall. Right now, it's just FOC toys, but that's basically how Generations started too (but w/WFC toys). Nothing else for that line/aesthetic until then.

Whoa very nice, I picked up another one of him yesterday to open up, haven't had time yet though. He's not that big as I thought he would be.

But TRU has B2G1 free currently and Target has 3.00 off coupons that would work him.

[bmorr]

where are these coupons?

Here you go Sir. It's a vendor coupon so should work at any place that sells TF.
Target Coupons

[bmorr]

nice! thanks

[Shin Densetsu]

Prime Soundwave is awesome!

[Crazy Jetty]

Soundwave is one of the few Prime toys I actually want.
He's also the only version of Soundwave (character wise) that I genuinely like, too.

[IronAvenger]

Ok sorry if its been explained before, but me and my brither want to start on transformers, but I am very confused on to where to start, seeing as there are multiple different lines I.e generations, RID and all that.

So my question is where would I start, assuming I only want can I say ? Comic based? Or cartoon based? Sorry I'm very new at Transformers. But I have NO interest in movie line like DotM or RotF, I'm interested in like the war for cybertron type or the classic one.
Any ideas? And if so are they still available? Or do I gotta trade in my arm. Also I'm a big fan of the dinobots, so was wondering if they have rereleased them? Or is it the old ones I must get, also as far as articulation goes? Is it full motion with the arms and legs for the old one? Or just basic move arm up and down type?
Sorry again for being such a "noob" lol but yea any kind of insight would help me a lot, instead of me just standnin in the toy line dumbfounded, or searching online with no results.
Plz and thank you.
