Oh no it isn't. It's the year for going back in time and picking up toys from years gone by.

Well that as well, and for that there is Toy-Fu.
Not planning on much Generations this year other than Core Class.

I'm in for any G1 updates and quirky attractive exclusives like G2 Ramjet. But I have surprised myself by not feeling fomo on the BW figures. They are happily passing me by and the money there went on RiD 2001 figures instead.

My mania for Generations was last year. I want more variety in my toys this year in general.

I'm just in it for fun, odd stuff I think. Once Kingdom has finished it's 84/85 updates anyway. Not super fussed about BW, no real urge to buy older toys... that seems about right.

Netflix.... Am I right in thinking that Deep Cover and whatever Megatron is in the leader box with Chris Deluxe Paleotrex are the only things as yet unseen?

Was there a blue diaclone lambo?
If not, I really find this to be a very weird direction. Why release two Deep Covers? Why not put the proper black one in Netflix, then Clampdown as Gen Selects?
I mean, it's not like they have to ruin the figure with the "battle damage." (In fact, I thought we were pretty much past this)

Cheetor looks really unimpressive in that packaging, compared to the Kingdom version. If I didn't know about the differences between the two versions I think I'd probably end up leaving this one on the shelf. As it is, I'll be getting Netflix Cheetor when it becomes available, but not based on the box.

As far as I can recall, yes. Except now no, it's just Megatron. But now I've pre-ordered Transmutate I don't know if I need that purple Paleotrex. I guess I'll see what the Megatron looks like. (It'll look like every other Megatron but with a *slightly* different paint job, with differences only discernible to the trained eye.)

Surely they'd be missing a trick not to do a Purple Megatron Tank with the clear purple Paleotrex? Alas yesterday's reveal confirming that Rusticon is a fake name probably also puts paid to the name Crystalux for the purple Paleotrex. But he will always be Chris Deluxe in our hearts.

LOVING Netflix Deep Cover. There's so many spots it manages to hit. A new Lambo colour scheme that's decent and a background bot from the cartoon are good to start with but it's also effectively G2 Deep Cover using the same trick as Sideswipe swapping the colours for hands & head with the colour for the bodywork. The colours are also not that far off G2 Gobot Sideswipe either. And, given Gobot Optimus Prime, it's also effectively what a Gobot Magne Convoy would look like! My only slight gripes are the battle damage, hopefully a clean one can come from somewhere down the line, and that he's missing the gun. We know the gun & launcher are on the same sprue as the wheels and the missile is with the bodywork from how they change with the various versions of the toy Hopefully Hasbro have saved up all the discarded gun, launchers and missiles and will get them to us down the line. I'd be interested to know how the maths works out there on the extra cost of the weapons vs binning them.
