    I understand.......however....

    Not for nothing...but they really should check people at the door to make sure they have no phones, camera, etc. Because seriously, by the time it hit the net, it was done for. So asking for anyone now to take it down isn't going to matter.

    They do. Problem is, the people that want to sneak photos find ways around checks and what not.
    Are they ever going to be off the internet? No, but that's not the point. Just because one person chose to disrespect Hasbro's wishes doesn't give the rest of us a free pass to do the same, nor should we.

    Also, if respecting the wishes of the company that owns the franchise all of us love isn't enough, last I knew it was a policy on this site to take down any pictures, or links to pictures, Hasbro doesn't want posted.

    Seriously, is having some patience THAT hard these days? I'm in my mid-twenties and feel like the old geezer yelling at kids to get off his lawn...and not the cool Gran Turino old geezer...

    I LOL'd in real life at the bolded. :lol 

    But really I do agree with you. But like you said, people will find a way. I think Hasbro's PR department needs to handle this a bit better and "scoop the scoopers", so to speak.

    I personally don't give a damn about the wishes of a multinational corporation. Love and respect are best given to those who will reciprocate.

    The site on the other hand have more of an interest in keeping in their goodbooks.

    So basically UK's toy fair was everything they said it would be....

    Which is nothing interesting at all.

    Is this what we have to look forward to and a 2 more weeks...?

    (sigh)..... guess I'll be saving time and money then.

    I might be confused, but I think the US Toy Fair is open to the public, while most other countries who have a Toy Fair are usually 'closed' only to retailers and businesses interested in purchasing product.

    Pretty disappointing I didn't get to see any pics.

    But I'm just glad an Ultimate Predaking actually exists and that wasn't the voyager at NYCC.

    Don't worry the pics weren't all that exciting may as well wait a few weeks for the millions of them that will come out

    What might make me agree with being patient is knowing why pictures are allowed at the US toy fair but not the UK one.

    Nope. The voyager got the same comparison.

    Legion Class Predacons? As in G1 Predacons that actually combine or Prime Predacons that do not?

    I'd be happy with either, to be perfectly honest. But Predacons that combine, wouldn't care if it was G1 or TFP, would make be as giddy as a schoolgirl that just gave the cooties to her boyfriend.

    May will actually = July-August the time they said Dreadwing was out in the UK and when he actually turned up were months apart.

    Same ol' problem you delay the product (perhaps due to the TV show) and then they kill it off early when the next Movie comes out.

    It the worst possible line to have to import when each one is unique due to the funny plastic dye.

    Saw the pics of them elsewhere, Prime looks interesting with that star looking thing on his back.
