    I realize these are Canadian release dates, and that this doesn't necessarily mean the product will actually be on the store shelf in May, but if they are going to follow a similar schedule for the US release then stores had better start clearing out their "red card/ROTF" stock NOW. With all of the old product still on the shelves in my area, there's no way we're going to see any of the new items until July at the earliest. That's IF we're lucky.

    Given how long it takes Hasbro's products to make it down south in the United States and the amount of stuff that will need to be clearanced off just to make room for them it could late into the summer before I see them on shelves.

    Still good news to have some idea of when other places will be seeing them. Gosh it's been so long since I've purchased any Transformers it's going to seem a bit weird.

    I think it is neat that they are coming out soon and if I get any at Botcon (if available), it would probably be Bombshock & his drones (since I do get multiples and don't want to overdo it/get them all at once).
    [To me, I think he looks neat.]

    It's terrible here in the US too...I can't go anywhere without tripping over boxes and boxes of the newest Transformers at low prices...


    I'm just messing with you guys.
    I haven't seen the newest Legends (Arcee wave)
    Deluxes (Evac wave) or Human Alliance (Barricade, Mudflap)

    Glad to hear they're getting released so soon. I'll only be getting Hubcap out of the scouts so my wallet won't take too big of a hit.

    Yeah, I was in the same mind set of yay new toys, oh no why my wallet hurt?
    Then I realize the only figures I care about in this list are the two scouts Hubcap and Brimstone. So I think I'll be fine. :p

    Oh damn do I ever know the feeling. Between the Transformers and GI Joe movies my collecting has been way down. The Marvel stuff has only sort of trickled out so before you know it you are all caught up on new releases.

    Really looking forward to trying out the new Power Core stuff to see if it's going to be something I'm going to like. If I end up liking the Power Core stuff then that would give me a good excuse to go track down some of the movie scout figures since some of them might go nicely with the new Power Core line.

    Then maybe Bot Con will have some exciting news on the Generations line so collecting is starting to get exciting again or at least for me it is.

    ROTF Scouts, Leader SS, maybe a PCC or two, and some HftD figures, and I'm good. :thumb
