Legends and Star Wars have done it for a while now, this will be "creating synergy across the brands" We knew all these were coming six months or so back though! tmukhub.proboards.com/post/479493/threadOh, I aware of how the other brands do it. Seems a way to still piss off certain youtubers though! -Ralph

As ever, Mark's facial hair was the star of the stream. Whilst not being his impressive beard, I do like the toyline/facial hair synergy he had going on, so I'll allow it. Seeing all the presenters in one room was weird, since I'd always figured their lack of on-screen chemistry was down to doing it all remotely - but apparently not. But I'll not be too harsh on them - they're back-room designers, presenting wasn't what they were hired for. Although these things do make me wonder if they don't do well then they'll be fired for it, too. I wouldn't put it past Hasbro, to be honest - at a previous job there was a pressure for back-room software developers to do more presenting, and the company never quite got that if we wanted to do that, we wouldn't be software developers, we'd be in sales...

They could have done with turning Mark and BMac's Mics on/up!

I feel the presentations have become much snappier and better but yeah, I don't expect designers to be natural presenters. It's not their job, after all.

There haven't been a lot of leaks recently, have there? So I assume this'll just be official reveals for the Toxitron and Rise of the Beasts stuff...

There haven't been a lot of leaks recently, have there? So I assume this'll just be official reveals for the Toxitron and Rise of the Beasts stuff... Probably the rest of the Toxitron line, particularly Grimlock because no matter what they do, I think they forced themselves to need to do Grimlock. And Preorders will go up. Almost certain the Erial/Dion set, as Gamestop kinda ruined that one. Preorders, also. But there's a good chance we'll see the "in the pipeline" stuff they teased a while back. As for RotB, maybe the deluxes and voyagers? They usually show off mainline stuff in press releases (which I wish was what they did for collector stuff instead of shitty youtube videos), but they do sometimes show the stuff that appeals to collectors, like the deluxes. On the flip, many of these are already turning up in stores. With the movie coming up, it could go either way.

Aye, we haven't actually seen Grimlock yet, so probably him. And the Volvo Prime. Maybe there'll even be some news of the new comic! ... Ahahahaha. Now I'm being silly.

The more I think about it, the more certain I am we'll see the pipeline stuff, as we have nothing concrete on the next wave, and Wave 2 is out.

I tuned in just in time to see bits fall off the Nemesis prototype.

To give them their due, that's the first one of those I've seen that has had toys on that haven't been leaked months previously. I'm quite surprised they played the whole of the summer lineup hand in one go. You can see the massive leaks for Armada Op hurt them, I reckon that Nemesis would have been held back for it's own stream but multiple times there they mentioned beating leaks.
Also - there was a definite 'shshhshshhhhhhh!' from the main guy when the bloke presenting Armada Megs started talking about all the 5mm ports he has. I can see mini-cons in the near future.

I almost fell off my chair when the existence of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line was acknowledged.

In 2 days time in London they should be showing details of the line next year.
I'd like to see whole box sets for all cartoon series not just G1 & Beast machines, Prime in UK. Everything else not released whole series in UK (that is for english ones not include Japan stuff)

We know the first two waves for most class sizes already from listing leaks four months ago. We can make a fair stab at the title from the abbreviation on the listings. For both of those see tmukhub.proboards.com/post/487078/thread onwards Where did you get the info that they'd be revealing all in London in two days from Pete?

I'd forgotten we're heading for another anniversary. That sounds potentially expensive.

Post by Llama God on Apr 18, 2023 7:18:49 GMT
Especially since, for the 40th anniversary, they're going to round up the cost of every figure to the nearest 40 pounds. (Probably.) (Would you be surprised..?)

Fans can imagine paying £40 for a deluxe.

Looking forward to seeing how desperately they're going to be pushing the new Robosen stuff. Especially given the recent rise in interest rates. Hey, this time last year I could've bought half a Robosen a month, that's how much my outgoings have gone up. Crazy to think I wasted my time and money!
