That SDCC Soundwave set looks very cool. 

Today, I bought a few movie toys.  I ended up looking over what the local TRU had and picked up the Ransack/Bi-Plane and Dirt Boss/Fork Lift.  These two are very cool in vehicle mode and ok in robot mode.  So far these are the only movie toys from either movie that I've purchased.

So dlx's are $7.99 and Voyagers are $17.99 this week at TRU.  I still haven't bitten on anything yet, but may cave and pick up The Fallen at that price.  Trying to stay away from the dlx line in anticipation of the Human Alliance stuff.

Wow, I'm lost with all the new TF stuff.  Mike, do you have a definitive resource you use to track or look at all the new stuff that's coming out?   ???

I do not have a good resource - sadly (I think I may have ignored a post a few pages back) , but I follow 1-2 TF websites rather loosley and I'll continue to update the JD thread now as there is renewed interest.  I'm also too lazy to track down a good checklist of product for release dates, but someone - please chime in when the time comes as need be.

Found wave 4 ROTF deluxes at Target this morning in abundance.  Ravage is really cool, and I highly recommend everyone picking him up when he shows up in your neck of the woods.  Mine's waist joint is a bit looser than I would like, but nevertheless, he's a great toy.  I just wish Hasbro would have paid this kind of attention to Scorponok (in terms of sculpt, paint, and posability) instead of the Happy Meal toy we wound up getting with the first film (and will, unfortunately, be getting again later this year).

I'm not sure on what's coming out in the Scout Class (and I missed a good bit, I'm sure), and there are a few strongly rumored pieces (the third of the Arcee/motorcycle triplets, a Leader Class Starscream, and Deluxe class versions of the other Constructicons), but this is pretty much the "complete" list of the actual transforming items coming out for the film.

Holy crap.  Thanks for posting.  I hope they do a good job with Jetfire - or rather, I hope he looks G1 enough for me to pick up...

Any idea of the cost of supreme class devastor? Leader class goes for 44.99, so I imagine its gonna be way north of the that.

I think the Supreme Devastator will retail for $100. It's supposed to be the big item for the line this Christmas.

Finally saw the Superion giftset this morning at Target.  Looks nice and it's a groovy price, but I already own the originals....Bring on Brut - I passed him up in the Energon days so I'm looking forward to him.  Saw w3 dlx's this morning as well, but these things just aren't doing anything for me for round 2.  My wallet certainly isn't complaining!

I grabbed the set at Target yesterday, since the price was decent and I know I won't be able to afford that big "Matrix" box set in one shot like that (as cool as it looks).  Looking forward to watching these again.

Although I'm not super familiar with the waves of the movie stuff, I saw what I think was some of the newer deluxe at our local TRU yesterday.  I noticed a different Bumblebee (with cannons), as well as Ravage and I believe Mudflap (orange-ish colored one).  I was tempted to pick one or two up, as I thought Ravage looked kind of cool, but don't really have the money now anyways.  These seem to be selling pretty well already for the most part though, I see a lot of people and kids looking them over at the stores.

Spotted the 6" Target Titanium exclusive repaints this morning.  Was tempted to pick up Thrust and Hotspot, but not at $20.99 - will wait for clearance.  Also saw Voyager Megs and Mixmaster (haven't seen them yet)  Mixmaster looks pretty cool at least in alt mode, but he's pretty small.  Might get tempted on the G1 repaint, but meh....

Found the Human Alliance BB this morning at Kmart....$36.99?  ack!  I know that they're overpriced, but that must mean $24.99 or $29.99 at normal retail.  Guess I might not be collecting these suckers even though they appear to be the same size as the ALTs.   :-\

Anyone know if WM or Target is looking at a sale on TF figures this coming weekend?  After seeing the film last night I want to pick up Sideswipe and maybe Sideways (although is robot mode looks kind of...scrawny?).

I don't think I'll buy much more than that but those two cars had a couple cool scenes in the film.

Anyone have the two new Deluxe Bumblebee figures in hand?  Any significant differences from the '07 version that would make it a worthwhile upgrade?
