    We're likely to see Generations waves continue through the summer. Warpath debuts in April, so there should be plenty of case room. The TFCC interview may have been done some time ago, likely a couple of months, prior to their officially soliciting the case, creating the packaging, etc.

    Failing the Generations line, I'd wager there's a new line, ala HFTD, that would debut this winter or 1st quarter 2012 after the movie line runs its course.

    :lol

    The quote from the magazine isn't worded very well. He doesn't specify if we're only getting one head, or if we're getting 2 and not the 3rd, or what.

    Pfft. One of the things I liked about collecting TFs was no army builders like there is with other lines like GI Joe. Well so much for that. So now TFs are jumping on the army builder bandwagon to feed ocd jagoffs who buy every single army builder they find and leave none for other collectors. Crap in a hat.

    People have been army building Transformers long before Classics even started. Cry more.

    Also, no plans doesn't mean it's not happening! Alot of the time, it's PR talk for "we don't know right now" or "want to surprise you".

    Bill is a designer, so he can say he three heads were part of the final design. It's up to marketing to get them in cases. I'm sure we'll see them eventually, it's just too good to not do.

    With guys like the OP, Wreck-Gar won't shelf-warm anyway.

    I for one am prepared for MAIDEN JAPAN's upgrade kits. Although these might actually end up just being the bikes.

    You dudes are hardcore. I might pick up a few extra if I ever see them on sale, but I just don't have the space to display them all.

    Reading through this thread has me a little confused. What are the confirmed releases and what are the speculated releases?

    I'm getting for sure:
    United Wreck-gar
    RTS Wreck-gar
    E-hobby version (scrapheap)
    Hasbro's remolded Wreck-gar

    Is there anything solid apart from the interview that we're getting a third head mold?

    I'll also snag an extra 1-2 of the hasbro versions to use Maiden-Japan's kits on (assuming I can track them down)

    The head for e-hobby Scrapheap is different from the head on Wreck-gar's instructions, and it could be inferred that the American remold will use the head from the instructions before it uses Scrapheap's

    I could be mad at Gauge0001, but you know what, that's just so awesome, it's awesome. Like the one member who troop built Brawns, or the one with the Seacons. I just can't be mad at that.

    But Gauge0001, do me a favor and make em different for the heads and chest. And add in some Nancy! http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nancy

    I think 6 of these for me would suffice. 1 down, 5 to go.
