Still waiting for preorders at TFSource.
Of course I'm still waiting for my order of the 3 Coneheads and Sunstorm to get shipped as well. All of those are listed as in stock now yet my preorder still hasn't shipped….e-mail sent.

When I emailed them, I asked if there was going to be a US release of Masterpiece G1 Thundercracker to go with MP Starscream and Skywarp.

There's something I would have never thought about again unless mentioned. Gave me a good chuckle, thanks for that.

Let me guess. You're a street vendor in Chinatown.
I can't get over the 1985 Olan Mills background iGear uses for their photos.

You don't get it. The reason we're mad is because Hasbro is currently allowing 3rd party stuff to be sold with no issue, and they're jeopardizing the whole thing. If Hasbro has to go after iGear, they'll eventually be forced to go after the others, too. They may not be able to sue them, but they'll ask online shops to stop selling their stuff.

Yeah, I would really like a Faith Leader trailer. Seems like a no-brainer for their Flagship product..
Actually, that seems a little more telling than it might appear at first glance. Did you say anything about Starscream or Skywarp? If not, the rep may have just accidentally confirmed the existence (but not the release date) of a product called "Masterpiece Thundercracker, Starscream and Skywarp." That would certainly fit with TCracker's comment that iGear was really "pushing them out" because "they must know what's coming." Hasbro certainly has the manufacturing might to offer all three in a single set and still keep the price a notch below "insane." Wal-Mart wouldn't take it as an exclusive, but Amazon probably sure as hell would. Something to think about.

Please I beg those of you that hate igear and hate what you feel is stealing to stop posting or just stop reading these threads. There are 50 threads out there with the same argument. It's old by now.
Yes I hear stole the mold. Who gives a damn. Did they come to your house and steal money from you? No they copied a mold from a company that has made and will continue to make millions of dollars off of each of us whether igear exists or not. Besides the few people on this site do you think any one else who buys transformers know about igear? No they don't. We are a very small percentage of the population of people that purchase transformers. For that reason igear doesn't even make a dent in hasbro or takaras profits, for those of you that are so concerned with how much money Takara or hasbro makes this year. They will be fine I'm sure.
I'm always surprised that every igear there comes to this. It's a toy people thats it. If hasbro and Takara were really that worried about it they would have done something over it. They are obviously not. So why are you? You want to get even and torture igear don't buy their products. Done. Please stop getting even and torturing all of us by posting your morality statements on these threads. We have heard them all before. The great part is you don't even have to type them anymore I'm sure you can just copy and paste from the 50 other threads where you posted the same statement before.
Get over it.
To all third parties keep up the great work. Continue to make products I can no longer purchase so help complete my collection. I'm a collector not a lawyer so I could give a shit less who you copy as long as it's cool.

As long as it looks like his G1 counterpart, I'm in.
I'd prefer iGear's version to look more like the cartoon than the toy, but I don't mind a mix, either (e.g. better silver and grey rather than just plain grey – I don't like slavish adherence to the cartoon when it comes to changes they made in order to make the animation easier/cheaper).
Skywarp181
I have a feeling they might change it up a bit. Being that meg was already fragile as it is normal size imagine downsized
Megatron31
i hope they do their own design more like they did with their version of ironhide and ratchet (i would love to see something like his IDW design
Transbot90210
Last I heard Horror Monarch was just mentioned as still being made, but not shown.
If you want to share any pics…feel free.

Didn't i gear show meg at the last con show??

Chalk it up to the time necessary to develop these figures and not wanting to flood the market with them.
