I enjoyed it and it was surprisingly busy. It wasn't just kids, people from all ages were there and they had this green screen photo booth thing that put you in a backdrop of space. They had the War for Cybertron wii game going on and a collectors box was given out for people who spent $50+ on the toys, which I have myself. Overall it was fun experience and as I said earlier the atmosphere was great. I'd recommend going to it.

 

Maybe cause they make the toys there, they get first dibs?

 

We don't even make the toys dude... Do you think Singapore's like in China or something?  

 

I'm really excited for new toys anyway. The movies are the only thing that kick the retailers to order.

As for the movie itself. I'll interested in seeing it in 3D but my expectations are tapered to only be slightly better than dark of the moon.

 

There was a midnight toy release in the US for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace back in 1999. I thought it would be fun, but it was mostly an ugly smear of scalpers pushing each other around to get the last Darth Maul figures.

 

Ill see if I can get a good deal on ebay, not worth retail IMO.

 

What bout' 'Murica?

We get anything special? B/c if not, I am moving to Singapore

 

I wish I could attend one of these.

 

Well technically the US will have midnight launches as well, though going to one all depends on if you're prepared for the evil glares of tired Walmart employees  

 

Hmmm. So is this the first indication we've had of who'll have the prime/grimlock platinum set?

The next question becomes is it a US tru thing as well? An if not will it be available in the us at all?

That's the version I want. I suppose I could see going overboard getting Takara's an mixing pieces- but if I only get one, out of the box I like platinum the best.

 

You get a beaten up, card half bent Crosshairs package that was put back on the peg with tape on the bubble, 'clearanced' to 17.99, even though it's a Movie 2 Bumblebee in it, sold to you by the sweatiest questionable-that's-a-lady clerk in your county. Now go back to your donut.

 poke I really am kidding, but I couldn't resist when 'Murica comes to mention. And because it's experience talking sadly.)

 

I roared into it and my dogs went crazy.

 

We really need an Electrum series of retail figures.

 

Not even Gold Chrome can redeem AOE Leader Optimus Prime.

Seriously Hasbro we should be having this launch party in North America.

 

What is this AOE Prime next to the G1, one?

 

I wish the party was here
