    I've interpreted these "awards" as "toys we want you to buy for your kids this upcoming Christmas".

    The toy is not even available and it is nominated for 10 toys of the year.

    Awesome

    So we can confirm Germany has zero taste in toys, right?

    No, we can confirm that the German federal association of toy retailers wants to push "big ticket" toys.

    So, are we supposed to pretend this isn't a purchased award?

    But it's not even out yet, how can it qualify for a reward?

    Unless it's out in Germany?

    So...out if all the TR and RiD15 toys....this thing got nominated. Out of all the TLK toys including the Barricade, Optimus, and all the Sqweeks,.....this got picked.

    I understand the push to market big ticket items, but it seems like this was chosen at random, no real thought was made.

    I'm pretty sure these toys are rated on playability and not on how accurate they look to their on-screen counterpart.

    Just.... LOOOL. These competitions have really low standards if "Fisher Price" Devastator was the previous winner. A toy that shelfwarmed so hard, I could find them 2-3 years later, unsold. And now they are awarding it to a toy that is not even released yet?
    Germany did see the release of CW Devastator, no? He is much more deserving of this award.
    That said, hope Dragonstorm will have a proper Leader toy. He looks pretty nice.

    EDIT: dear mods, when will this issue will be fixed? Whenever I post and use " quote/annotation marks from the quick-post menu under the news, the finished posts turns them into \ symbols next to the quote marks.

    So this blocky piece of garbage is getting nominated for an award before its even released?

    Either way, this is terrible and i'm hoping that the Leader Class version that was mentioned on Amazon a while back will end up being a great figure.
