    I guess WFC Soundwave is the nail in the coffin for us ever getting Generations (ie G1)Soundwave?

    Still, mustn't complain after what we've heard today.

    So, any word on how many souvenir sets were left at the end of the convention (or if any besides the Sharkticons sold out)?

    Oh! Yes... With any luck, there'll be some in the club store when they get back! If so, I hope they limit ONE OF EACH SET PER PERSON..

    But they likely sold out...

    I don't think so. Get rid of the green on the alt. mode for Lockdown and he'd make a pretty good Movie (or even Classics) Runa-theblackone. You might want to somehow make the head look less like Lockdown eventually, but it could work.

    I left around 2pm and was told that the Scorch 2-pack was sold out, so only Rapido & Cindersaur was remaining (and less than 20 or 30 of those were left).

    Very helpful. If I don't get more precise or official information (especially direct from FP. I appreciated that they "tweeted" the sell out of the Sharkticons earlier), may I reference you as a source on the datasheet?

    Sure, although you may want to try and get a different source just to corroborate. The guy I was dealing with looked like he was ready to get out of there and may not have been giving me 100% accurate numbers.

    Understood. I prefer my information on such matters to come from FP whenever possible. I also know that they don't always like to release this information in a timely manner. I'm still looking for official confirmation of Punch/Counterpunch (widely accepted to be 1800 + 300) and SG Cyclonus (widely accepted to be at 1200). To say nothing of Heatwave, Dion, and any convention attendee exclusive figures.

    Refresh my memory, are Thrust, Drift, and the War for Cybertron toys TRU exclusives? I was thinking they were.

    Nope, they supposedly just came out there first for the game's release. However they didn't and i don't think they are out en masse yet. Kind sad but thats how it goes.

    Actually, that's great news for me. Means I might be able to pick them up at the local walmart instead of hitting the very unsafe semi-local TRU.

    Yep, I'm still waiting for them to show up round here. Nothing yet though. The wait is incredulous.

    Walky (over on the Allspark) says that he was able to pick up a Scorch set "minute or so after the convention ended". So the possibility is that some of those toys are out there after all.
