    I'm so disappointed after watching Ben's video review of titan Devy. It's just 100% kids toy, I might get one for my boys this xmas.

    Not a test.
    Ads might be worked on, but no time frame of when that would happen.

    I've not looked, mind you I grabbed them form Kapow.

    I think Barber's an excellent plotter but a poor executer who's too much in love with his own 'kewl' sneaky bastard anti-hero Prowl whilst unable to portray Optimus as an actually decent, effective leader.
    I thought after the mind control incident we'd get a Prowl who realised thinking like the Decepticons wasn't enough but it seems his takeaway from nobody realising he was actually evil was, 'F*** it, I must be even more sneakier bastardly.'

    Ditto. Not buying your kid one, that would be odd

    Rumour has it theres gonna be masterpiece a diaclone ultramagnus...... though that is probably a rumour. Possibly some new combiner wars reveals, hopefully a Hasbro MP11 that has a paintjob that looks awesome.

    erm...they seem to have shrunk to a reasonable size today...to my relief.

    That title needs a break from Prowl, Starscream...and Livio.
    It's doing my head in.

    I would prefer he gets his own mold that's true to the comic.
    That design is amazing and needs a toy.

    Yeah, looks to be. Still on the fence on that Devastator. Will give Hasbro Dev a miss though.

    Received BadCube WarDog today, finally had a chance to mess with it after the Carry article got posted.
    Goodness me, that transformation, I'm not in a hurry to do that again although I have to admire the engineering that went into it. Looks lovely once transformed, though, and captures poses in a very satisfying way. Can do The Run. Win.

    All the best

    About damn time.

    And while we are at it talented 3P Add-on types how about some Boot-covers/gap fillers for Dead-End/Wildrider/Streetwise/Deceptijerk so they could have some proto feet? I'm good for about 120 sets.......

    New Diaclone stuff is intriguing. I have nowhere to put another line of transforming robots, but it'll be hard to resist.

    The Botcon exclusives are less than inspiring this year. I'm starting to think that they could do with making fewer of them each year, perhaps using larger moulds. What with the subscription stuff we're almost overflowing with clib exclusive toys.
