    Interesting. Hopefully this means that they've changed their minds, and will be releasing Animated, or at least the first wave and the Battle Pack, earlier than what we've been told. I'm also hoping for some pictures of the Battle Pack to leak out, show up on Ebay, or something (in package would be awesome).

    Usually, but not always. Here lately it's starting to go the other way around, and Canada gets stuff before us. Either way, this could hopefully mean that we'll be seeing Animated toys on the shelves and pegs a little sooner than previousley expected (though I'm not going to put too much hope into this happening).

    No.
    In fact Canada has been a week or 2 ahead of the US in launches of new lines in the recent past.

    Well It is news at least. Even though all it does concretely is evoke mountains of speculation contrasted because of the statements made by hasbro for delaying the line.

    It was supposed to be an OP vs Megs pack, with Megs being the voyager and Op a remolded Deluxe. (to look like his earth mode)

    But at $30 I don't know anymore.

    Well it got the same price as ONE canadian voyager.
    Either it's like Magnus vs. Skywarp pack or the new Megatron is smaller than the Voyager.

    Sounds like that battle pack that's been speculated about for a while might end up being less than deluxe sized...the Megatron vs. Prime dvd set from last year was 29.99 at TRU (that's cdn, that means $19.99 retail US)...(the one with the really crummy Prime)
