    Default DOTM Toys - buy straight away or wait?

    With all the teasers everyone is being provided for DOTM toys, come 15 May 2011 (or earlier if embargo if lifted) what will you do?

    From previous experience with ROTF, the first day Kmart had them, I bought Leader Prime and Megatron and other crappy re-release Voyagers.

    So what will everyone else do?

    It also seems the Kmart is not discounting (ie ala 20%) like they previously used to do.

    I got burned with the BIS pack or $50 from Target, but luckily I found my receipt and it ended up all good in the end.

    I'll buy the preview toys like i always do but then i might wait till i see the movie. I only aim to buy toys that are appear in the movie and screen accurate. I'll get the leader class toys when they're cheap.

    Otherwise it's best screen accurate toy for me so best off waiting.

    I'd probably buy most of the DOTM figures, except Starscream as he isn't my favourite character and all he has extra is a gun. Really want a Thundercracker though!!

    From what I've seen, there's only toy, the helicopter, I'm keen to get as soon as possible. But when they are on the shelves I'm probably going to be tempted to buy before waiting for a sale (and there will be sales eventually)

    I'll only be getting... (spoilers) Voyager Megatron, Shockwave, The Ark and the Human Alliance Basics. Since that's only seven toys, I'll just get them how and when they're available rather than wait for sales.

    I don't normally buy Movie toys... only have a few so I probably won't pay much attention on release day.

    Theres a few I'll buy straight away like sentinel, shockwave and a couple others but the rest will wait until a sale.

    Has a wave list been released yet?

    Everything I'm interested in (which is about half the stuff shown so far) I'll get when I find it. Everything else I'll either not get or only get if really cheap.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    I say wait and spend your money on catching up on previous lines. Like Beast Wars

    But in all seriousness, wait and get the Japanese versions
