| Posted on 02-09-2008 at 01:54 AM by Super_Megatron | Hasbro has announced that it will webcast its management presentation from Toy Fair via the internet on Friday, February 15, 2008.
We'd like to take this moment to remind our readers that the staff of TFW2005 will once again be covering ToyFair 2008 this year, so check back here next weekend as we bring you the latest images and details about the upcoming Transformers toys and merchandise.

I know I'm looking forward to it.
llamatron:
I wonder if we'll get any info about Wave 2 Universe/Classics and beyond? Either way, I'm excited.
It can't be any worse than Toy Fair 2002.
Grimwing:
Crud. look at that logo, I'm scared man. This is going to be such a big year for G.I. joe with the new movie. The joe logo looks a bit newer to me on that poster but otherwise, that huge darth vader head reminds us transformers nerds how little market our robots cover in comparison to the empire.
I look forward to the coverage anyway, I could use some good news to get out of the dumpy month january seems to be.
my only request is that they youtube their cast. The mp4 podcast they did for botcon last year was a pain as I did'nt like fiddling with quicktime to make it work. Everyone seems to run youtube.

| I'm sure being the best selling boys' toy(Transformers) in '07 means something.
Soundwave84:
im excited i wonder what they will be releasing!!!
Feralstorm:
Pardon me, I'm off to sleep for a week.  Fort Max:
Toyfair and a new episode of animated, one good weekend coming right up.  Tenebrouser:
Does any big info. still come out of Toyfair? For awhile there, there were no big surprises year after year.

It can't be any worse than Toy Fair 2002. | Wasn't 2002 Armada?
Toyfair 2007 was the worst, they only had a couple of toys out for the Movie.
Railguard:
I'm excited to see if they have any more info on the Classics 2.0 series. Like maybe I don't have to wait till fall for those toys, maybe I have to wait till next spring!!!  Sso02V:
>fingers crossed for Blitzwing<
Doctor Ingenious:
hopefully lots of pics Blastwave:
I'm not expecting too many new items. It'll probably be the Classics 2.0 Wave 1 and Animated TFs, most of which we've seen.
Fort Max:
At the vey least they should have the same stuff that was reported as being at the UK toyfair behind closed doors.
butz:
I'm hoping we might at least get some info on what those Universe voyagers might be. A line up for the legends figures (and perhaps some confirmation on whether or not they're new molds) would be nice too.

Transformable with new alts modes or just show-accurate, non-transformable figures. Either would be welcomed, as long as there's a new Ravage in it for me.
butz:
If it's the cassette TFs, I'd like to see them do something like the movie Real Gear figures; i.e. give them handheld electronics device/role play alt modes. Well, on second thought, that might be a little hard on the legends scale. I don't know. I just want to find out what they're going to be. Soon. Former-cassette TFs would be awesome though.

Hey, as long as we see something new, I'll be happy.
airfox:
Ohhh.... Toyfair can't come soon enough. Quote:

Shin Densetsu:
I hope Blitzwing's toy is shown and is accurate to the lineart unveiled at botcon last year.

Really, really, really well. Bwahahaha.
So, obviously, alot of other people didn't think it was "utter crap".

Jarodimus:
Missing the opening salvos of Toy Fair info and not getting to see "Along Came a Spider" as it airs next weekend are going to be the only drawbacks of my upcoming trip to Palm Springs.
I'll probably live, though.  Quote:

If you're talking about the image in Super_Megatron's post, that's not a poster for Toy Fair. As it says, it's for the 2008 Canadian 80s Toy Expo. The only logo for Toy Fair I see is the one with pink, green, and orange numbers and letters, visible by following the link in his post. And I don't know if that's an official logo for the show.
Autovolt 127:
come on Animated Blitzwing!!!!! Co,e on Blitzwing, I hope he's at the Toyfair.

| Yea kids didn't, a lot of collectors did.
I hope we see more than what we saw last year.
