Wow, that teaches me to actually wait before buying an entire line to see if just about everyone gets better decos later on.

Will get Prime and Megs, not so sure about Bumblebee and Starscream yet. No interest in the others.

Hmmm . . . allspark doesn't seem to be coming up, at the moment. The new Prime piques my interest, though.

Argh, just when the few movie characters I dont have ended up on my Christmas list

As much as I love that Megatron, I refuse to buy the same figure twice

Wait....what are the odd on these showing up in the UK anyway?

Cheers, Denyer. And then I saw there's nothing much I want there, not even the Screamer *shrugs*

Megatron looks nifty in the proper colors. What's different about Bumblebee? He's not in the pictures...

Annnnnd, of course, since I'm looking again, it's down, once more . . . Damn it!

EDIT: Hmmmm . . . went to allspark.com/index.php, and that seems to work . . .

Not sure I like the new headsculpt for Prime, and while the sword is nice, it's not "Drop another $40 for pretty much the same figure" good.

I think Hasbro's damaging its chances of selling to people who bought the earlier releases, next film around.

Ditto. This is aggravation in the nth degree. I'm sure I'll buy the Starscream for completeness sake, but there is no way my budget, or my conscience will allow for the others.

Double ditto. The only two figures there that interest me are Barricade and Ironhide, and I've already got the first releases of them. Ironhide with more movie-accurate detailing is nice, but I'm not going to buy another one just to have it. And shelling out another 10 or so for a Barricade that has 911 badging and nothing else is just plain stupid. No mater how much I like the figure.

Prime with sword = must have for me.

Man, we get a repaint of Ironhide, and it looks like they still did nothing about not being able to see the detail on his face. (although it's not the greatest pic in the world, so maybe it is better).
