    WEDNESDAY EDIT: I woke up to a message from my regular Hasbro source. Unfortunately, there will be no long stacks on this 20th Prime either.

    SHIT! Now I'm going to have to buy all this stuff.

    I can't believe they are re-releasing Prime with long stacks after I paid $20 for repros, I wonder how much this new 20th Prime is going to sell for.

    Long stacks better, paying for another one, not.

    And the 2 packs sounds fantastic! I can't wait to see it on my shelf.

    So... A $20 difference between the Target and TRU release of the Prime/Megs. I think Ill go with the Target version. I was hoping that the TRU would be BW reborn stuff. I like the new 20th Prime, sounds good, now I dont regret selling mine.

    I'm not sure if it's the same one at Target vs. Toys'R'Us. But one of the upcoming two packs is apparently this G1 Prime v. G2 Megs in deluxe format. I'm personally assuming Robot Masters Prime vs. a G2 Hero Megatron repainted.

    So hoping the tank Megs turns out better than the previous G2 figures (I'd settle for hero Megs, so long as he is in fact green, not purple, and they get rid of that accordion thingy for his launcher).

    Problem with that being the TRU one was listed as Primal vs. Megs, thus not the same character, not the same 2-pack.

    Maybe they'll use a modified Reverse Convoy.

    I'm 99% sure this 2-pack contains that Megatron that we saw color charts of a while back, which I stupidly refused to believe was real.

    Doubt it. It was specifically stated he was Green.

    So they're completely unable to change a single color on a color sheet?

    I just don't believe it in Hasbro's liking to go ahead and create an entirely new toy, deluxe sized, to put along side with a G1 Prime-esq figure.

    Like I said -- I'm expecting RM Prime (because he is a cool figure, and deluxe sized) along with a repainted Hero Megatron (because he's deluxe sized).

    That thing we saw prior looked to be for something much larger.
