November
- DA34 LEADFOOT (Deluxe)
- T/F DA33 JET (deluxe)(new Air Raid mentioned at BotCon?)
- T/F 20 DEVASTER(Devastator) (expensive about 140-150 usd)
- Star Scream (really cheap, new mold or cybververse?)
- MV3 Sideswipe Black Ver. (probably deluxe but a bit more expensive than your usual deluxes)

I honestly don't know how i missed that. As long as we get a complete set fo the movie wreckers delux sized thats all i care about. I am a big fan of the wreckers so I want to get all 3.

^ Well if you're going to be that mad about it, not to mention pore over Japanese listings, you owe it to yourself to at least follow Botcon news. Two-pack. Coming with a Topspin retool called Twin Twist. No pics. We don't know if it has weapons on the car or is "clean."
Burnout
The human Alliance one…but I have yet see anything regarding the deluxe class version.
Ravenxl7
That listing could vary well turn out to be something different for all we know. Until we get more info about it, I wouldn't be so-sure about it being Takara's release of the "Dark Iron" repaint/retool.

Blah we won't be getting deluxe Leadfoot for awhile .
Anguirus
Who cares? Black evil Sideswipe with Quickstrike-ish head is something I might even buy.

proof we need to stop covering conventions because nobody pays attention

Since when was Beast Wars Quickstrike black?
Anguirus
Well it means Japan won't see it in October or November, I guess maybe? I'm hoping that such a thing will come out eventually. First quarter 2012?
Anguirus
You are delusional and psychopathic.
"Target" is not overseas.
Bet you a million bucks that this is single-packed, without a logo, and will cost more than either the Target-exclusive HA or the Target-exclusive Deluxe 2-pack of Twin Twist and Leadfoot, which will be logoed-up and film-accurate.
Stop being so funny. Can't take it.
Ravenxl7
Could be their EZ release of him. Though if it was the same price as a regular Deluxe I would guess it to be either a G1 or Movie 1 themed repaint. Personally I'm hoping Hasbro eventually repaints the Deluxe mold like they have the Legion figure (something about the light gray and blue looks really good in bot-mode to me).
Interesting. Not sure what would bring-up the price though.
Deluxe Leadfoot has already been confirmed for a release here in the states. He's a Target exclusive in a 2-pack with a Topspin repaint as Twin Twist, but that's better than not being released here at all.
Also, you're severely overreacting to the Takara exclusives. It doesn't mean that Hasbro won't, or can't, release their own versions of said repaints, just that if they do, they'll be later releases and will look different. I'm not saying that we will for sure get a Deluxe Skywarp over hear, just that there's still a possibility of it happening down the line sometime. Who knows, maybe Hasbro is waiting till next year to do their own version of him in the next movie-styled toyline after DotM ends.
Shin Densetsu
Leadfoot is a Target exclusive here

i assume if there were to be a leader megatron.. we would've seen it on this list? or should i still have hope?
Burnout
