From the convention where they're exclusive, ****wit. That's why they're called convention exclusives.


I'd be the best PR guy in the world, oh yes.

Note how the "official" is underlined in the original version on Hasbro's site. As opposed to, say, the BotCon exclusive Action Master Breakdown...

The one that's more desirable than any other Botcon/OTFFME exclusive since, oh I dunno, Cyclonus?

I actually saw this earlier today, but didn't decide to post it on account of the fact that the first question is old news and the second one is so stupid that I honest have to wonder who would ask such a pathetically obvious question.

Excellent! I've been waiting for a more affordable Megatron. I like the way he looks, but not for $50. Maybe I'll wait awhile to see if the big one goes on sale, though. They seem to have dozens at Walmart.

EDIT: Then again, the smaller one would take up less room, which is something I'm looking for these days . . . what size category is the SL Galvatron in?

I take it that this will be released as a 2 pack as well at Toys R Us? Also.. I was curious as to if anybody had heard if Kicker would be available in the US at all.

Yeah, Kicker will be coming out stateside at some point. He's in the Wal-Mart computers.

Yay. Another toy I want that I'll never get my hands on.

Damn you, Hasbro.
