    OOOooooh, US Toy Fair. I wonder if they'll preview any of the new and rumoured Alternators.

    It'll be a Minicon Alpha Trion!

    Ok, on the reality side of things - when is Toy Fair? This weekend - 4th-6th? Or the following one 11th-13th?

    Yeah, I like Alternators and all, but TF Classic will be the big story. You guys won't be able to scan and upload your pics soon enough for me. But know that your efforts will be very, very appreciated.

    And please, please remember to include the Hasbro info card on the toy pics. And if there isn't one, ask the rep for the release schedule!

    I was at NY toy fair 2 years ago as exhibitor so I didn't have the chance to go upstairs where the big boys are and check out Hasbro. I hope they will unveil TF Neo/Classic line and get us excited. Maybe some announcement regarding movie toys would be nice too.

    I remember the website saying Toyfair was from sunday the 12th to wednesday the 15th. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm really looking forward to it! Hope photos can hit the web fairly soon, as I, like most Transfan, won't be there in person. Here's hoping for displays of some new Cybertron toys, Alternators, TF Classics and the long-waited Universe Piranhacons (or I will be very upset)!

    We had the booklet for the convention at work today. Hasbro is listed as having a private room that you can visit by appointment only. Does TFW2005 have an appointment? I'm not nearly important enough at TRU to warrant getting in without someone higher up with me yet.

    Not to burst anybody's bubble, but isn't Toyfair usually... well... a complete letdown in terms of unveiling new, "never-before-seen" product?

    I'm thinking with the lack of protoypes popping up on eBay and elsewhere on the web lately, that the "never before seen" product will become a reality again. Remember the good ol' days when it was actually a surprise to see a new, finished, upcoming figure? Oh, man, I miss those G1 catalogs... :(

    I hope that they'll show off the new Beast Wars leaders there and I'm sure that Primus is a given. Anything else they show will just be gravy :)

    I'm sure we'll see a fully painted Mirage, as well as some of the newer Cybertron repaints like Skywarp and Cannonball.

    Man, I can't wait
