    They remind me of those Mega Blocks bionicle KO things that converted into a big ball, and more recently, into space ships (at ROSS).

    Indeed. That's why I dropped out of transformers around Armada/ Energon and have a whole shelf dedicated to them. I still got my first ever Bionicle, Toa Lewa! (or was it Tahu? I forgot which....) Best Bionicle ever was Nocturne. Trust me!

    Hasbro is giving China its own exclusive show and line of Transformers?! Oh, snap!

    Get your 3PC toys while can, folks. This is how Hasbro/Takara is going to combat 3PCs, by getting their powerful Chinese partners to go after them.

    *GROANS* And here I was hoping Beast Hunters Botshots would be a sideshow separate from the mainline...

    By far the most interesting stuff to me is the charts & graphs, if only because it's so rare that sales figures and the like get into public hands. If nothing else it provides a nice new "stock response" whenever someone goes "The (XX) line was a dismal failure. I know that for sure because they didn't sell at my local Wal-Mart!"

    I never really saw Toy Fair as the greatest place for reveals. If we see anything new aside from what's been leaked (Shockwave, Abominus) I'll be surprised.

    People here can't interpret a chart. They will try to interpret it to their convenience even if it spells out things literally. We even have an ex-admin who can't understand what he reads, but oh boy those guys won't let that stop their terrible arguments!

    I think it starts at 12:30 PM EST or 1:00 PM EST, pictures usually are shown later. Last year there was a stream going on at UStream, so hopefully they will do it this year!

    You just know that somehow RotF alone making more than 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2010 combined is "absolute proof" that the movies as a whole ran the franchise into the ground and ruined it FOREVER.

    NY and NJ are pretty good, actually. So people can make it. I hear the roads are clear in Brooklyn and several highways as well. Which should make it easier.

    One thing is bugging me though. There is always an announcement on TFW the Saturday before Toy Fair starts that they are attending the preview night and will be posting photos. This year...nothing. It is kind of concerning to me. It would be great if someone from TFW could confirm that we will get photos from the Hasbro event today.

    TFW's people probably can't get to it through the blizzard. :( 

    Ben Yee is there, though: https://twitter.com/bwtf_ben TFU.info too. No idea about Seibertron or Allspark.
