Seeing this thread active again is like welcoming back an old friend. Sometimes I prefer the (generally) more relaxed TF discussions here versus TFW. Not nearly as much rage, ego or sense of entitlement.

And it's been a while since the last time I said this, but for me it's almost as if there is just too much good stuff coming out or on its way. I kind of wish Hasbro/Takara would slow down a bit so I can catch up (maybe TF4 will help me in that regard).

Hold off for the US releases. Soundwave is coming, and hopefully Sideswipe, the Datsun Bros., Wheeljack and Bumblebee (F'n MP Bee!!!) will follow suit. Unless TRU gets froggy, those should be much more affordable than importing them.

True. And most of the time, they are worth the price.

MP Soundwave is going to boss!

Oh, he is. He is.

Of course, I'm going to try as hard as I can to get the US release as well, so I can have a toy-accurate version. It will be the only MP mold that I will have double-dipped on that wasn't a separate character (i.e. the Seekers and soon the Datsun Bros).

Except there missing one, I don't get why they list only 4. Going to wait till all 5 come out before I order.

Weird.

I'll definitely pick up Ruination, mostly for the novelty of the combiner and to have toy versions of the Wreckers in a unified aesthetic. But I'm going to wait and pick them up at retail. I've had no trouble getting every other FOC release that way, as long as I was willing to wait a little while.
