    Glad Transformers is on the list because someone has go out and buy little Timmy his 12th Bumblebee figure to get some of them off the shelves. Disappointed that Hasbro has botched GI Joe so badly that it can't make a list like this.

    Although I wonder where retailers are going to put any new Marvel stuff because the places I've been have been clogged with Avengers and Spiderman movie toys already.

    Yeah, it'd have to be some sort of industry-insider middle man journalist sort of person.

    Forget the Weaponizers--there's a Nerf gun that holds 144 darts!

    In fairness, Hasbro isn't really at fault for GI Joe. They had the product ready for shipment this summer, but Paramount forced the reshoots and delayed the movie until next summer. The "Retaliation" toys in wave two and beyond look really good.

    To be fair, there are several Cons that turn into something other than a jet. Rumble, Dead End, Vehicon and Knockout are all cars, Airachnid is a helicopter, and if you count Takara you can add Breakdown and Frenzy.

    On the non-sportscar bot-side you have Arcee, Bulkhead and Prime, so you are right on that count.

    Back on topic now, the innovative and must-have part of that article almost made me laugh. What's so innovative about an oversized Bumblebee with shoulder mounted cannons? I would call a Megatron weaponizer a must-have, which would automatically make Prime a must-have. As it is, meh.

    Although that Pony Princess Wedding Castle sounds pretty cool. :p  *sarcasm*

    To be fair, Angry Birds IS a cash cow. A very fun and well-made on, though.

    Sorry Hasbro, but if this is your best, I'm ticking to TakaraTomy.

    Did anyone else laugh their ass off when they saw Weaponizers being called "Innovative and Must-have toys"?

    Maybe they weren't referring to the weaponizers. I bet it was that pony castle thing. ;)
