    I'm kinda suprised they have not gone down the path of 2 Box sets one Autobot and one Decepticon

    I dunno the transparent Mirage was out of the blue so it can happen.

    One problem that FP has is that TF fans are really pretty splintered in what they like. By creating 10 characters for a show, they have a much better chance of hitting something for everybody.

    If this is a Botcon 2009 souvenir - and everything points to it being a sure thing, then I'm very happy I'm going.

    I've wanted a Razorclaw out of Leobreaker ever since Botcon 2006.

    :confused: 

    Who is this "the fandom" you speak of?

    Yeah! Let's hope the convention fails and FP doesn't sell a single unit! That'll teach them!

    1) Scourge
    2) Kup
    3) Flak

    Compare the number of repaints Hasbro used to produce before the success of the live action movie for retail with how things are today, and you will see there are very few "hardly ever used" molds.

    Heck! Hasbro didn't even produce Thundercracker as a retail exclusive and I doubt they would've missed the chance if Classics would've followed the Movie.

    But this figure belongs to the "vry nice" Dawn of Futures Past set. ;) 

    True. But they also risk producing very popular figures that sold out fast, and not so popular ones they have to keep in their warehouse. It's a guess game.

    I'm really wanting Razorclaw, Leozak and Thunderclash from this set and that's about it.

    ...OK, yeah. Sold. If this IS a Botcon exclusive for this year, then along with Leozack & Skyquake it's the 3rd one I feel like I HAVE to own.
