And speaking of cassettes, an anthropomorphic Laserbeak just seems wrong to me. I agree, it's a shame he's supposed to be Laserbeak, but it's a nice colour scheme on a really good toy. My favourite stand-in Laserbeak will remain Booster X10. |

Now this is nothing to do with my obession over how large Transformers figures are, but his body does look a bit too small to me.
Like him though.

Ian: Impactor, Topspin & Twin Twist, Whirl & Roadbuster You know this is going to lead to a Wreckers repaint the next time there's a G1 Bruticus rerelease? Oh excellent! That's the perfect character combination I think! AND I'D LOVE A G1 BRUTICUS WRECKERS REPAINT!!!! What's Combined Wrecker's name? Wrecker? |

Combined Wreckers' name is Ruination.
As pointed out elsewhere it should have been Rack n Ruin

I think the molds have been diluted already before release. Just my opinion.

Tangentially, I just now got an email from Amazon US telling me they'd refunded my import deposit (a little over £10) for the Unicron I ordered last summer. I had no idea this was something that could/would be refunded, and it makes the G2 Bruticus look even more of a good deal.

Seriously...? That Prime one is taking this downsizing thing a wee bit too far, no?

Wal-mart wants to sell deluxes for $9.99, so Hasbro has to design, cast, assemble, paint, ship and market them for $7.49. The only upside is they can sell them to shops for double that in the European market  -Nick |

Oh, I get why they're doing it... You'd just think that with a Prime they'd make it less obvious.

The depressing thing is that WFC Prime was quite small a year ago.

From what I hear these aren't $10 In Wal*mart, they're more. Price goes up and size goes down

Fifteen dollars, if it arrests the steady shrinkage of the toys that would be a good thing. What I suspect is that the price'll hit fifteen dollars and the size of the toy will keep decreasing slowly.

I'm getting the regular one, but the pictures do show of the design and it's great.
this is probably the best TF coming out in 2012.

Typical... decided to get it, after the Amazon preorder ended. Not sure I want the relative hassle of getting it from BBTS
