It is quite a bit to keep on top of. Especially some of the really nice 3rd party stuff and to a lesser extent some of the high quality ko's that are out there - even some 3rd party ko's I've had my eye on. Seedy yes, but ya. There's all that stuff too besides official releases.
I don't collect everything TF - can't...would be in the poor house, but it is nice to pick and choose.
Agreed that SW and Joes are a little easier to follow....

TRU can be hit or miss on shipping confirmations - and packing materials for that matter.
Regarding the tape - you could always open the JSF and hack the box mostly away to get closer to the glue/tape mess. Goo-gone could probably help too if you can get in close enough. I don't remember that stuff ever discoloring any of the packaging I've used it on.
I still need to get out and look for one of these.

He's a high-priced import right now like all Takara/Tomy MPs are so yes if you want that version you're going to pay through the nose. A lot of the locals I chat with on tfw are pretty upset they paid $250 for MP10 (Prime) then he hits the states for $100-$120. I'd be pissed too.
Judging by how well TRU Grimlock, Rodimus, and Prime have sold it's kind of a no-brainer that they'll follow suit as all of the last few MPs have except the Starscream remold, but at least we got TC out of that deal so I'm okay with that.
Also Soundwave doesn't have the popularity with Asian TF fans for some reason (forgot where I read that article) but he's huge over here and the G1 version has been re-issued several times already over here and always sells out.

Optimus is kinda hard to find from what I hear. Shame they raised his price by $20 but still a good deal compared to the official MP. I've been getting spammed by TRU probably getting 3-4 emails per day. I'm sure I missed some deals in there, but oh well.
Soundwave & friends, Sideswipe, and Red Alert will likely be at TRU sometime next year.

I kinda miss life on the farm. Things are moving too quickly and too many main characters dying off....I enjoy all the violence though - don't get me wrong.

I'm not really a 007 fan but heard good things about this movie. Lots of action/tech, but seemed more like a ripoff of TDK to me. Not a bad thing though. Played off well.

Not really a big Marky Mark fan, but things are moving...
HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 8, 2012) – After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming “Pain and Gain,” Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated “TRANSFORMERS 4.” The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.
“Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.
Bay will direct the next installment in the “TRANSFORMERS” series, which begins shooting next spring. From Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., in association with Hasbro, the film will be produced by Don Murphy & Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian.
Bay’s first “TRANSFORMERS” film was a box office sensation in 2007, opening at #1 and earning more than $700 million worldwide. His second installment “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” in 2009 grossed more than $830 million worldwide. In 2011, “TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON” was an even bigger hit worldwide, grossing more than a billion dollars to become the 5th highest grossing film of all time. To date, the franchise has earned more than $2.6 billion worldwide.
