Man I want all those minifig Kreos. Looking sweeeeeeeeeeet.

And something I havent seen mentioned in this thread yet is the Unicron repaint that was seen in the Vault. I like the green eyes of it.

So not characters I expected, but they look absolutely awesome from the low-quality twitter pics. There's also some very cool costme photos linked from the twitter thread, include a Ravage handpuppet

so much Botcon goodness

Good to see a Guzzle and I'm impressed by the KreOns, they turn out much better than I expected. I just hope Hasbro will eventually release the minifigs separately.

Wait, the Cyberverse Shockwave turns into a tank and comes with a fusion tank? So his tank mode joins a tank for a tank tank mode?? I'm not sure if I'm into this whole tank on tank thing 0_o

Whoa! Is it just me, or did the dealer room get bigger since 09? Where did they find the space for all those statue displays?
The TF Prime packaging looks beautiful! But no bios this time? It would sure be nice to see a whole wave of those displayed MISB.
The Kreons are really cute! I love how some of the helmets aren't centered in the display. A bit disappointed that the Jazz model is grey instead of white though What's going on? Grey martini porsche? Movie Jazz? I'm sure it was white on the HTS pic.

Awesome pics Grif! Can't wait to see the rest.

A very topical TFA Dragstrip too. I wonder if it's the same girl who did TFA Arcee a few years ago.

Those TFCC figures look great, I'd like to see the headsculpts in more detail too. BUT how come SG Drift doesn't have english writing? And while we're on the topic, why is SG Galvatron the same colour as regular Galvatron? :/ Does this SG deco reference something else? (Like SG Megatron's black helmet)
Also, in reference to this year's comic, who are the Guards in TFA Trypticon? they were supposed to be a "Wait til you see this!" sort of thing apparently.

too much coffee this morning. Also I totally made a bunch of ebay purchases this morning too so I'm good for exclusives, I'll buy an Autotrooper next week I hope!

[Vector Prime]

Woo Hoo! Just bought mine from TFsource! Woo Hoo!

Likewise - just ordered it.

Awwww sold out

They're apparently back in stock - I just ordered a set (let's hope they're not lame like Fishpond.com.au and actually can supply )
