Who's going to get Fall of Cybertron figures first?

Here is how it will happen:

-A few figures will be revealed via a grainy magazine. Fans will be divided into several camps...some will love them, some will mock them, some will complain about us not getting a certain character, several will claim the figures 'must be mistransformed) and one person will bring up them doing a 'My Little Pony' crossover instead.

-Within a months time we will get clearer images of the figures and an idea of a street date

-One week later, someone will manage to get their hands on a figure and post a review.

-Demand will skyrocket as fans search for the figures, believing them already out. What few figures that appear on ebay will go for around a hundred and twenty dollars

-Two weeks before the supposed release, the toys will be leaked somewhere in the world. If it is in the USA, it will be in one area...probably along the coast. All other countries will claim Hasbro hates them.

-The release date will arrive with half the stores not having them and the other half having too many.

-Within 2 months the figures will be everywhere yet people will complain that they aren't 'there in their area'

-Shortly around this time, they will appear on Hasbrotoyshop and other websites. Toys sell out within a day.

-2 weeks later, everyone begins to complain that the figures aren't moving and they haven't gotten the newest wave because of it...Hasbro doesn't release stuff soon enough! is the cry

-Meanwhile, a new line/show/movie arrives and the fanbase begins to drool over those figures, complaining that the current line is forcing back the release date of the toys people NOW want.

-Hasbro execs have sex on top of a pile of your money. It will not be pleasant.

There...just copy this onto every thread that pops up every time a new line is announced and we can focus on important things like complaining about minor characters not getting bigger figures that only 5 people would buy

Just curious, did Hasbro announce a "full product line" for the first game? Would be interesting, since the first line just gave us 5 figures. I really hope we'll get FoC Grimlock and Bruticus though, they'd be really really nice updates to figures we've gotten.

I have no idea. War for Cybertron Optimus is the figure that started my collection so I don't know what they had said about the WFC figures.

EDIT and unrelated to the quoted post: You know, for a joke thread this has gotten far too serious. I demand someone discuss waffles.

WFC Optimus and Megatron had like 4 different paint job variants (Generations, Rage over Cybertron, United and Darkside) while the other 3 (SW, BB & CJ) had 3 different variants. At the most I see is that they will re-release SW and BB as per normal, but for CJ he's definitely going to have a FOC-Prime based headsculpt (with the horns!). Since OP and Megs look different in FOC, I don't think they will be re-released.

My hopes for FOC are only Jazz, Grimlock and Shockwave. And Wafflez wif Eggz.
