US Toyfair 2011 roundup

Looks like Hasbro are trying to take on Lego again, this time with a name that sounds similar... Lego - Kre-o.

No new Generations/Reveal the Shield pics?

as neat as the DOTM toys (well, some of them,) look I'm disappointed we aren't being shown new toys from the "Classic" line.

I too share your grievance TB, but I'm not terribly surprised we didn't see anything new dude because I reckon they're going to start gearing up the promotion of DOTM like a vengeance in the not too distant future IMO.
Subsequently, I imagine that very little light will be shed on the Classicsverse now because it probably wont be too long before they shelve it again , which sucks because it'll no doubt end up with another new name , but this is to be expected really.

Ok, fair point but for how long through 2011 though?

I'd be surprised if they put any effort behind the Classicsverse line once DOTM is in full swing which is probably when we'll see it's shelving IMO - around June/July, regardless, it's even less likely IMO that we'll see them prevalently over here anyway because our retailers will want to make the most out of the Movie figures.
(It'll be worse down here in the Illawarra anyway )

I dunno, just a feeling I guess but I tell you what though - I can't wait to see the TakTom version of that Ultimate Prime though!
