    Yes, because it is the people who DON'T make every tiny piece of news a chance to rant and whine who are the problem.

    We are getting ready at the moment. We'll update the front page when they allow photographs. The panel is in the afternoon.

    Can you give a time for the panel? I thought someone said it started at 9am today... (obviously not correct)

    That's when the doors are opening. But not the panel time. The panel is around 1:30pm.

    This makes me think you just give your own interpretation to what people write.
    Even so, I don't see any purpose or useful reasoning behind trying to counteract anything people say about any aspect of the franchise by calling them names and pretend only you and a like-minded group of enlightened ones are the only redeemable portion of this otherwise insufferable fandom.

    Even if they were, in the past Hasbro has held back new figures until *after* the reveal.

    Fair enough. I've seen some new sw from within the showroom already (Heather Antos on Twitter) and there's lots of lego pics to be had on Twitter but nothing TF yet.

    Yarp, my completely uneducated guess based on what I'd do would be that before the panel, we'll see the toys that have already been released without fanfare, like Elita-1 and Hun-Grr, then we'll see them all combined up alongside the big predatory lad afterwards.

    This is true.

    When Hasbro initially open the show floor, you'll mostly see toys which are already out. After the panel, they will update the display cases with toys which are new and revealed during the panel.

    Is anyone else occasionally (or frantically) checking HTS for a random exclusive to pop up (a la Arcee and Grotusque)?

    Are you asking if I'm searching "Repugnus" repeatedly?

    ... because I am.

    Way to miss the point altogether. You go on about ridiculous? Try looking at your own posts, sunshine.

    Oh, and welcome to my block list.

    Wow. Seems I started a wildfire with my post. That wasn't intentional, I was just voicing my own concerns, never thought it would provoke such a response and get people blocking others. I'm truly sorry, I thought I could just get it out of my head by putting it on screen, in words.

    Guess I can't do that, that's my fault. Sorry, guys.
