    Hmm. I wonder if any of them won't suck.

    Are there that many important vehicles left? Or will we get 9 Jedi starfighters and 9 ARC-170 repaints?

    I'm assuming this means 18 since they started, not 18 new ones.

    How many total are already out?

    Seriously? these actually sell?
    they always seem to be peg warming to me (not as bad as the non-transforming Movie Merch, but certainly more than typical Transformers or Star Wars toys)

    I still can't believe Hasbro won't do a GIJoe -vs- Transformers line ala the comics or Don's unused designs.

    Surprises me too, I would *kill* for a Rolling Thunder Optimus or a Dominator Megatron. As long as they didn't turn into robotified humans the line would be awesome.

    They move pretty fast around here. Not as fast as Transformers since the movie came out, but before they movie they were actually selling faster than the "real" TFs.

    huh, that's interesting.

    the newest wave (with Cody) seemed like a step up, hopefully they'll keep improving ~ maybe take a new stab at an X-wing.

    Of course they will. Can't believe this shitty line is actually still going.

    The BIG Star Wars push this year is from the new Clone Wars animated series, so there are vehicles from that show to consider.

    Those would be nice. I might actually consider getting them if their 'bot modes don't look too crappy.

    I'm still waiting for them to come up with an escape pod that splits and turns into C3PO and R2D2. It couldn't be much worse than some of the others we've seen.
