I quite like the Blurr. The new headsculpt is quite nice and, with the replacement weapons, estabish an identity very much of its own.
The Highbrow is interesting. We don't get many early twentieth Century-inspired alt-modes in Transformers. So it is a bit of nice change of pace. (Not terribly effective as a disguise mode mind you but then is can join folk like Movie Thrust and Sonar in the "not quite getting this _ common - vehicle" thing... .).

Blurr = sold.
I'm glad they've announced this before Drift came out. Blurr is the one for me.
And if there's a Generations Kup as well, the trio of him, Blurr and Hot Rod can be reunited on my Henkei Henkei shelf!

Aaaaaaaaaaand the value of Botcon Scourge goes tumbling down :V Doesn't bother me. I bought it because I liked it, not for it's value. If the new Scourge is good then he will have a brother! -Ralph |

STOP PRESS!!!
Generation Deluxes found and bought. They came from Edinburgh Forbidden Planet at £14.99 each.
The guy said they came in with their normal delivery from Diamond UK, so expect them to start showing up soon.
Normal 12-language backings on them.

FP don't really count, but it's a good indication.

Bearing in mind last I heard TRU UK gets at least some of its supplies from the australian distribution system, it's a pretty safe bet they will show up sooner than later

Oh yeah, all good signs. But over the years FP has got so much import stuff you can't trust what you see in there anymore as being definitively UK in origin.

I got a case of Generations in my Diamond delivery too. They're UK carded, no bios on the back. They should start showing up throughout the UK anytime now.

I shall confirm Toys'r'us next time I am in for a shift! I know I saw them on the computer a week or two ago but there was no receipt date.

A question, if I may;
I was just browsing BBTS and they list wave 2 of the Generations line as being released August time. Does anybody know how good or bad the chances are of being able to pick up Straxus and/or WfC Megatron at Auto Assembly will be?

Aaargh! No! Straxus is only delux?! Sorry Size-police, but surely he should have been bigger? |

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 12, 2010 6:57:56 GMT
I think the feeling is the same about WFC Op too.

Ian, I think Generations is wholly Deluxe.
If you compare the size of Op's head to his casemates', Drift and WFC Bumblebee, he could have done with being scaled up to Mega, if that size still existed.

I know size shouldn't matter, but it does to me. If a particular character isn't the 'right size' according to me, then it just doesn't satisfy me at all. Generations all delux, hu? Well, it'll work for the likes of Jazz and Tracks (very excited!), but Optimus and Straxus being the same size as Bumblebee? |

Dinobot team - Would rather this was Dinoforce and coloured appropriately. Just doesn't seem very Dinobotty to me.
Thunderwing - Urrr - Is that jet mistransformed, because I can't believe the feet are meant to stick out so much. And is there any pretender-esque gimmick to it?
Generations Scourge walks into a pub and the barman says "Why the long wingspan?"
Grapple - YES, glad they've remoulded Universe Inferno.
Legends Megatron - BUHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHA?
