More new TF2 multi-packs

[griffin]

None of these were shown at BotCon, and some were listed in the fine-print on Hasbro's Hunt for the Decepticons online game. They are all redecos, though.

From TFW (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/three-new-transformers-hunt-for-the-decepticons-2-packs-170236/)
Three 2-packs, using various Movie toys (and one new character).
Rotorwash Rumble - Arcee & Tail Whip (redeco of Blazemaster/Evac)
Hunters Rumble - Sideswipe & Barricade
High-Speed Spy Battle - Autobots Skids/Mudflaps & Sideways

From BWTF (http://www.bwtf.com/node/1482)
A 5-pack of Legends figures, that even shows the combined form of Legends Jet Optimus.
Victory of the Fallen - Optimus & Jetfire Vs Megatron, Starscream & The Fallen.

Too early to tell if any of these will be released here though.

Hmmm... Sometimes repaints annoy, sometimes it works out well, in the sense of this Barricade, I would like a version of this mold, but not the movie deco as I am waiting for HA Barricade. So pending better pics, this could be the Barricade to fit that purpose. That Sideways bugs me though, I love transparent reds, but I don't want yet another set of twins to get him =oP I'm not really big on Legends that have higher classed counterparts, so the "Collect this card inside to find the conclusion of this Hunt!" on that 5-Pack is a bit annoying, unless there are to be other packs containing the same card. Ah well, I guess decisions will best be left to better images, but thanks for the headsup =o)

Well if you do get the Twins/Sideways pack and didn't want the twins...

Hehe, yes I had considered a split purchase with someone =o) As I said though, I guess better pictures will help me make my mind up. Who knows, these muddy versions could actually be good, unlike those "rusty" versions that looked like someone smeared baby crap on them.

A fourth 2-pack has been revealed now that they have just been found in US Target stores.
Crashlanding Attack - Bumblebee Vs Thrust (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/target-exclusive-two-packs-out-in-the-united-states-170268/)

The four 2-packs in America are US$20 each, which is cheaper than 2 Deluxes, that are priced at US$13 at the moment (as it should be for redeco multi-packs).

Funny thing with that Breakaway mold. When I first saw it, I thought "eeeewwwwww", but after some pondering and a desperate need for some retail therapy, I bought him. Now it's one of my fav molds, enough to have two of it (Breakaway & Thrust), and that Thrust repaint looks kinda cool at first glance, so I will be looking forward to better pics of him. Another BB though? C'mon...

Remember, the new TFs are just being released in America, so these pics of shelves full of TFs toys, is all new stuff for the American fans.

Lol, fail at the Thrust packaging with his 'visor/cockpit' hiding his face. I wonder if those unfamiliar with the mold will cause hysteria as they shriek "oh my freakin' gawsh, he has no head! NO HEEEEAAAAAAD!!"

Interesting that they have matched the Japanese Police decos for this Barricade and the new character, Tail Whip. Call me nuts, but I feel myself compelled to indulge in these packs (if they arrive here), providing their price is around $35-$40, although I would likely assume they would be $50. Out of each of the packs, I like at least 1 design, so I may just have to see if there are any takers on the others. Is it just me or does that BB design look, erm, crap...?

Indeedy!

And btw, in your sig you mention the FP Crossfire sets incoming. Is that the Bruticus Maximus upgrades? And if so, may I ask where and how much they were? I checked pics of that and it is SO noice! I'll never look at my BM the same... Cheers =o) And yes, Sky Stalker is very cool, but... 10?! o.O
