Which is a question - will those of us in the UK ever get to see the AoE Generations figures on shelves? Or will we just end up with the child-targeted Robots in Disguise figures?
I'm liking the Classics-style figures too - particularly Leader Jetfire (although he does seem unnecessary with the already excellent Voyager figure from years ago), Voyager Sky-Byte and Voyager Roadbuster. Not too into any of the Deluxes though.

At first I was about to say "why not, they are movie figures" but then I thought just a tad harder and came to the conclusion that for retailers, the listings will probably be under generations.
Having cooled down a bit from last night, I can add Strafe to my list of toys that I'd like to get.
Strafe, the cars obviously, and the voyager trucks and Hound.
Is it just me or does Galvatron look...uber generic? It's like somebody designed a stand-alone, morphless robot, and then decided to tack on a truck as an alt. mode.
Nice to see that after 7 years, the primary complaint about movie designs is finally addressed: these look extremely human-like. Hound, Drift and Crosshairs are almost alarmingly guilty of not looking like they transform into anything in the cgi shots
EDIT: Oh, by the way, I hope you guys like rubber plastic, because I sincerely doubt all those spikes and fins on the dinobots will be regular plastic
