    Panel was alright, but sad no one asked for details about retooling on MP Rodimus. Any chance someone could ask either at the show or something?

    Even tho I think the Kre-o's are nice,I am really psyched to hear about Unicron,maybe now I can afford him if he's only $50 or $60.Also I was kinda bummed about the Prime figs,I thought we would get them next month as the cards said,then they said December at the panel,what a jipp IMO.

    highly doubt it, unfortunately. they didn't show it today because, presumably, bay wants to keep character reveals hush, particularly soundwave's alt mode. he went all "megatron is not in ROTF" on us when it was speculated that soundwave was the mercedes. if we didn't see it today, I doubt we'll see it tomorrow

    they said after the movie.

    Probably a stupid question, but have the Showcases shown new toys NOT shown during the panel? If so then my hopes are high again :) 

    Also, anyone else hoping to see a Grimlock repaint/retool of DOTM Shockwave? >.>

    Someone should have asked if the Kreons will also be sold separately without having to buy big sets you don't want (i.e., I have no interest in a truck Megatron, but want the Shockwave and Megatron Kreons. Same for Optimus Prime - love the Kreons for Skywarp and Prime, but the truck, not so much).

    Probably won't happen, they are a business after all :lol

    Was a Deluxe Jazz exclusive mentioned? Thats what Seibertron.com's coverage is stating.

    Was there an image of that? Was it a new mold or no?

    Meh, a few good tidbits but not much exciting/new.

    Prime Wheeljack should be nice, Classics Arcee PLEASE.

    Would've liked a clearer answer about the shrunk down deluxe/voyager figures and whether that is the new standard regardless of mechtech or not.

    I want to know this too please!


    Off subject from the panel discussion but do any of you who are interested in the movie think Dino and Que or Soundwave will play a big role in DOTM? Which could be why their toys weren't revealed...

    Part of Tru's scan series has a repaint of deluxe Jazz, that is probably what they are talking about.

    I love the fact that we are getting all of the prime figures but i really want to get a hold of break down and knockout so that kinda sucks. All together not any big announcements. Also sad we still dont know what soundwave looks like for the movie tear.

    How much you wanna bet there's gonna be thieves swiping the little mini-figures from the boxes and then returning the rest to stores?

    :\ Nothing sounds overly interesting. The 3rd party venders are showing off better stuff... I wonder if after the movie toys ends they will go back to having normal heads from now on. That would be nice.

    If Hasbro releases TFA Thundercracker and Blackout, I will die happy.
