    FYI, some people love the way she looks. Hasbro is just trying to cater to everybody. You know you don’t have to buy every single toy. And if you feel like you do, well that’s your own personal problem.

    I like em coming out this fast there's not a hell of a lot of rotf figs that I really, really want. Get these out and move on to the last of the animated figs or classics 3.0 or something. Plus it mixes up the shelves full of Wheelies, Chromias and Demolishers around here. I'm seeing those things in my sleep.


    IMO, I think Arcee looks great. Much better than Chromia in robot mode. Very unique and original design. I like the wheels instead of feet. (Sideswipe, the bikes) humans have feet. These are alien robots. Getting around on wheels is a much more efficient way of travel. What a higher form of sentient beings would develop.

    I thought this seemed early, but it's tracking right along with how Movie 1 toys did. According to our amazing Resources section, TFTM Deluxe wave 6 (Dropkick & Recon Barricade) hit in August 2007.

    OTOH, wave 7 (Landmine, Stockade, Cliffjumper, and Camshaft) didn't show up until January 2008. Could be a long wait for more Deluxes. Which fits, given that we've only seen one test shot and no packaged samples so far.

    Wow with those case assortmants I am glad I preordered my Wave 4 deluxes from BBTS since it doesn't look like any of those will be in another wave until at least Wave 8. Maybe that wave will start to show up at retail more frequently for those who still need to find them.

    Yup. Just ordered the Twins and Jolt off eBay an hour ago. Sick of hunting. Though I did spend about two deluxes extra for the set, which I'm not happy about...

    Need to pick up Gears & Thrust when I see them. Just an aside, clear-blue-windows Bumblebee is in the photograph too.

    Seeing as how I'm getting paid tomorrow, I think it'll be an opportune time for some store-sweeping.

    If this picture resembles Wave 6... then I'm wondering which wave we are finding in the shops in The Netherlands. We've got Chromia, Ironhide, Skids, Wheelie, Breakaway, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Leader class OP... on the decepticon side we've got Leader Class Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Rampage and Demolisher. Desert Strike Brawl and Ratchet have also ben sighted, but I haven't seen them yet.

    What also puzzles me is that lately shops are receiving non Europian Versions of Transformers. The packages have got English, Spanish and Mexincan (I think) languages on the back and the booklets are far more detailed and double printed with allot more detail to the character.

    What I would like to see here are the Voyager class Megatron and the rest of the Constructicons... Oh... and not to forget the Icecream truck Skids/muddflap and the other fembot bikes Arcee and Moonracer (If she's called that way) and Muddflap himself of course and the Human Aliance Transformers. These are looking very very cool. That would really make my day for sure.
