Hoping 2012 has much more to bring from TFs in the form of Generations figures-rebranded-as-Dark-of-The-Moon and Transformers:Prime figures.

Shelves were the Leaders of Prime, Megs and Ironhide, the mini battle playsets and the huge ass Bumblebee. All I grabbed was HA Backfire & Treadshot. Spike was defective, though: had two left arms. Willis (or Grant... or anybody reading, really) do you keep the human figures? I'd like to either find somebody who might have the opposite problem and we could trade parts or I could just flat out buy or trade for a good figure? Somebody? Anybody? Please? In Las Vegas all I found was remnants of Generations items and two RTS Perceptors: nabbed one for $7. And, what's with all the Thunderwing's clogging the pegs? Thought he was a figure EVERYBODY wanted? :P - a_o_t_8. I agree with the others: Shockwave looks goooooo-oooood! *drool*

They had a fair little set up and I nabbed me a Voyager Megatron and nothing else. Its cool as hell with the ragged cloak making him all Kenshiro and such, but I haven't had a movie Megs yet (unless a Legends counts) and he can go up against original Voyager Prime. Seriously underwhelmed by these toys. Of course I was seriously underwhelmed by the previous movie sooo... Now all I want is Shockwave and Hasbro has all they are getting out of me since G1 Legends class, Thundercracker, Wheeljack, and red tank guy whose name I keep forgetting probably aren't ever seeing most US shelves...

No matter what things look like now, the movie does come out in July, all retail stores will have DOTM toys in stock for some time. Not when it comes to Transformers movie toys.

But today i found an odd suprise; Reviel the shield toys. The only got it today, so i wonder what the hell is wrong with distribution in my area. (still overpriced though, 20 Euros for a deluxe) Was looking for the toys and found nothing of DOTM up untill now, worse yet, they don’t even have it ordered in all shops for miles!
