    Your welcome. It bothers me how the French have become a whipping boy here in the states. You would think more posters here would be greatful to Vampyr for giving us this inside info about the ROTF figures coming out, and instead he gets a bunch of xenophobic, snide comments instead. (Not everyone, but still a good amount.) I bet the people here who insulted the French would never say anything half as bad about Black people, Asians, Jews, Arabs, or even Italians. Ofcourse, these groups are also here in greater numbers and have organizations to represent them. Who represents French people here in the states? As much as it pains me to say this, it seems that until the day French people here in America organize such an organization of their own, this ignorance will continue.

    I just wanna say that when I posted earlier today I said things out of madness that they
    got figures months before they are released here,but I sure don't mean the stuff I said
    about the french,plus me being a quarter Scottish we always say crap,even tho I have
    never been there,but my point is that most of us (me particularly)are not the
    xenophobic jerks some of yall think we are,we are just envious that France got figures
    months in advance of other places,so while France is busy playing with there movie
    figures the other countries will have to wait for Hasblo to release them in april or may.
    So you can see why we might be a little upset.But I will say this if Hasblo was to
    report they were releasing the figures tomorrow I wouldn't say anything else bad about
    french people again,as they are not to blame,Hasblo and TakTom are,my real beef is
    with them not the french,so again my appollogies to the frenchies for saying what I
    did.

    I Live in quebec, and we've been trying to do something similar since 1975 and yet, even here ,we're merely taken for granted
    You're a smart man, thanks for all the sense you've written here

    Holy shit, the new legends Prime is a *vast* improvement over the first one. It's like the toy designer of the first one completely underestimated the first movie and did a totally half-ass job of it.

    My favorite part about this new one is how the chest is the actual truck-windshield. I hate the facade-windshield that was on the first legends movie Prime. And I won't even get started on the legs.

    Oh, am I seeing the Prime correctly--does it have a mouth (no faceplate up)? Would that make this the first movie Prime with his mouth exposed?

    Edit: on closer inspection, it appears that the bump I mistook for the mouth is just the part that should correspond to Prime's blue goatee. Is that right, Vampyr?

    What I find funny about all the outrage about France getting some toys first (for once!), I'm pretty sure they "suffer" the same fate of every-country-that's-not-the-U.S.-or-Japan, ie: incomplete lines and generally whole waves being skipped.

    Have you thought about asking what Animated or Universe toys are available in France? I would be surprised if they have received the Swoop wave or the Cyclonus wave.
