    I'm betting enough to go to BotCon this year on it. Well, that and whatever other Classics related things they're putting in the set and attendee toys.

    And I agree that there won't be many more mass-release Classics outside of a store exclusive or two until either after Heroes has been going for a few months, or after Heroes wraps up. Maybe Classics will eventually slide into what Universe tried to be, but something tells me it'll just quietly go away with the molds sliding in here and there as line filler recolors down the line.

    I would like to see Classics continue after the movie.
    I think we will see Classics or Alternators return after the movie, but I doubt we will see Classics and Alternators return after the movie.

    The Titaniums are still going to be around, so who knows?

    I'd have to agree with that. I vote for Classics because there's so many places you can still go with that line.

    Alternators has already covered a good core of the characters. It's running out of steam.

    If I was able to see the future, i'd look at lottery numbers, instead of upcoming toy lines. Any way to take a screen shot of what you see? :D  I'm gonna reserve judgement till I see some of the toys. :) 


    I really dig the classics molds, and can't wait to see what they put out for exclusives. Sadly, I think you're right about the classics line.

    We haven't even seen one concept of what ANY of the TFs in heros will even remotely look like, how can you tell it will have a crappy toyline?

    Personally, if they just released one or two new classics figure every few months like they did with alts, I think it would be great. I would personally prefer Classics to continue as a line moreso then Alts or even Tits as Classics have both high collectors appeal as well as playability.

    I hope this line continues. It is an awesome line!
    Thanks for the heads up about the website update.

    Hasbro knows Classics is a hit with the fans and does seem to move on shelves pretty well. So ending the line seems like a pretty stupid business move. Especially when they could keep it as the alternative line to the movie toys. Keeping mostly everybody(execpt for the mentally ******ed fanboys) happy.

    The page may be pretty 'meh,' but that stupid little battle game's pretty fun. In a dorky DBZ kind of way.

    No. Classics line does not exist in japan. Soundwave is a japanese release, long after the Classics line has ended.

    I own the Bumblebee. I always wanted a Bumblebee. Too bad he's not the original. He sits next to my tower whispering to it, the the computer freezes

    *looks down* Damnit! Wha'd you say to it this time?!?!?!?

    It reminded me of that Binaltech game (forgot which site it was on) that had Prowl, Blue Prowl, and Overdrive/Windcharager vs Decepticharge, except more serious in comparison.

    I hear ya. Knowing my luck, not only will he be an exclusive to BC, but he'll be one that only attendee's can get, like last year's Megatron/waspinator set. :cry
