    I ordered one of my holy grails, the Botcon set Dawn of Future's past and Darksyde Megatron & Waspinator set.

    I got it from the TFCC archive sale today.

    Aside from one or two packaged samples, it doesn't.
    Looks nice though.

    man there is this rattily MOC Estrela Gears on ebay that someone could offer $490 outside of eaby, down from $750 BIN. Its tempting but given the crap XE rate and wasted opportunities when coupon deals were available, I think this can wait. but damn the money people spend on loose Optimus vs Malingus minibots, crazy

    http://feedback.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayI...edbackAsSeller

    $350+ for a loose minibot
    Wanted items:
    eHobby Orion Pax and Dion

    I know Peaugh has (or had at least) one and another sold at auction. It will be a long time before I get him, if at all. I do hope Hasbro or Takara release him at some point in the Generations line or something.

    Probably a low likelihood of this happening. I can only see Animated figures being brought back via TFCC/Botcon/FSS lines. Probably not as a Botcon-theme as they need to make up for 12-14 figures, and there aren't many unique moulds left that hasn't been repainted? Unless you go out on a limb with a whole lot super-obscure repaints (even more obscure that existing retail repaints) - Thundercracker/Dirge from Starscream, Deadlock/Drift from Blurr, Doubledealer from Blitzwing, Diaclone UM from UM, Axxor from Lockdown, Trailcutter from Sentinel Prime (?), Chromia/Firestar/Moonracer/Nautica from Arcee, Smokescreen/Bluestreak/Streewise/Rapido from Prowl, and multitudes of niche Bumblebee repaints...

    Wasp from Bumblebee would be a given, which I would be happy with
    Hound from Swindle
    Sunstreaker from Rodimus/Sideswipe
    Smokescreen/Bluestreak would be better from Jazz IMO

    Those two are actually the only ones I know of. As said with the G2 Stunticons on TFW, there are probably a lot more out there that people just aren't sharing with the online community.

    Of course there would be, it's not like they would've just made two and said "ok, that's it, shut it down"
