That looks sweet!  Just like the Star Wars Evolution packs.  So are they going to do this for more characters?  I showed my son this pic and he definately wants the animated BB now.  He has the movie one and the black one that we just bought, but he doesn't recognize the vintage one, so we would probably wait until the single animated characters come out this fall.

I don't quite understand your question, but here is the current pricing for TF movie figs:

Sorry if I was making that confusing.  I had no idea that the movie figures were broken down into groups; scouts, deluxe, voyager and leader.  Try to understand from a "layman" p.o.v. who doesn't collect this line of toys and never have until my 5 year old started wanting them just this past year.  So, I guess what I meant by "movie figures" where what you guys would call the "deluxe" figures.  Again, I apologize for being somewhat of a novice at this.    Thanks for the info.

Looks like you were right, the movie TFs seem to be going on clearance at Target.  They are marked down to $6.99 from $9.99.  I don't know if it is just this week or they are going to keep going down until they get rid of them.  They sure aren't stocking them, but since they are outty in June, that would make sense.  My son got a black Bumblebee and a Stockade for around $15.

So, I checked on that Grimlock that I was talking about.  It is $24.99, production date 2006 (not 1996 like I posted), in a box-type package, and it has one of those flaps on the front that show the two "modes" of Grimlock.  Is this a good toy to buy and if so, is this a good price to purchase him at?  If the newer version coming out this year is $5 less, I might wait until then, but since it is an animated version, I might consider this version instead.  I don't know if my son will like the animated version.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff

Two questions for you guys.  I might have mentioned before, but my 5 1/2 year old son is really into the movie Transformers.   He doesn't know any of the old school characters from the 80's besides the ones from the movie, obviously (Prime, Bumblebee, etc.)  Anyways, my first question is, are they going to stop producing the movie toys now that it (the movie) has come and gone?  Or have you heard if they will continue with this line?

Second question, the thing that my son likes even more than Transformers is dinosaurs.  So obviously he is in love with the Dinobots since he saw them on the cartoon.  Do you guys know or have you heard if they will be coming out with any new Dinobot figures this year, specifically Grimlock?  If so, will they be the cartoon version, not like it matters.  I don't keep up with all of the news coming out at the cons or toy fairs, usually just Star Wars or GI Joe news, so I haven't heard either way.   I have a chance to buy him a Grimlock for his birthday from a few years back for $25, this seems kind of steep and if they are coming out with a new version, I can just wait.

You guys seem to know your stuff here, so I figured that I would ask you if you know off-hand. 

Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Paul,

I got the "silent" issue that you sent me.  Thank you very much!    Boy, they kind of butchered a classic comic.  It's the exact same story, but done in different art.  Kind of a waste of time if you ask me.  I would've thought that Hama or whoever would've denied something like that.  Guess I was wrong.  Oh well.

Thanks,
Jeff

The comic was terrible, you are not missing anything - period.

Did it have anything remotely to do with the Marvel comics storyline at all, or was it that terrible that I'm really not missining anything?
