Dang, that's a lot of info.  Thanks DoctorPadawan.  We'll be on the lookout.

By the way, we did see the Elite wave.  My son was excited to finally pick up Swoop to add with Grimlock and Snarl.

Found time to crack open my Animated Leader Bulkhead w/Activator BB today (still kinda peeved that Hasbro didn't give the same treatment to Lugnut which he so deserves.)  Appropriate name for Bulkhead to say the least.  Finally saw my $ in him when I transformed him into his alt mode.  Really liking the Activator BB he came with - much more so than the deluxe class version, but I'm not going to start another line within a line at this time.  Very nice.  Can't wait to crack open Magnus and see what happens.

....Still waiting word on MP Magnus - yes...it's November.

Henkei Thrust and Dirge

And why, exactly, is Hasbro missing out on this gravy train?

Are these masterpiece size?

No, those are the Classics Seeker (Deluxe $10) mold, with some changes to the wings.

Okay thanks.  That's pretty ridiculous pricing then.   :P

TF2 Devastator toy details?

Sounds kinda lame if true, but I didn't think Hasbro would have 9 fully transformable combiner figures for $49.99.  Oh well..

Energon Prime was actually pretty cool - once combined with Wing Saber

Hey, I have way more "new" stuff than G1 stuff.  ;D I'm just not very impressed with any of the combiners outside of the original Devastator.

More Grimmy

Detail looks amazing.  Just not sure yet about the $150 pricetag on such a small MP.   :-\

Like the smaller arms are articulated and do more than just sit there, serving tray with glasses are kinda lame, and could care less about the intelligence transfer device, crown is kind a dumb, but I am still going to get it. Not thrilled about the $150, but he has always been a favorite of mine.
I have been told to go to hell; well at least I will know everyone there!

Maybe I can sell my lame-o Masterpiece Megatron to buy that Grimlock.

Anyone going for the Muggs?  Soundwave looks beyond awesome, but I'm going to have to resist as I don't want to go backwards with SW and forward with GI Joe.

Maybe I can sell my lame-o Masterpiece Megatron to buy that Grimlock.

He's not that bad - especially with his upgrade kit.

That soundwave does look sweet, but I just don't have room for the Muggs on top of everything else.   :-\

If a certain someone's looking to sell their MP Megatron, send a PM my way.   ;)
