We "should" get the first wave of TFPrime, as it is the main focus, while the BotShots will continue due to being more successful than expected. Kreo is not a certainty, due to its failure in the first year, and complete avoidance by retailers in the second year... but we are appear to be getting at least the smaller/cheaper assortments (combiners, blind packs, etc), as they are less risk to retailers.

The Generations are an unknown variable, as they have also been considered "successful" by Hasbro Australia, but we've seen very sporadic releases here already, so there is no guarantee that we will get every figure in the various size classes.
You will note that they only had the Triplechangers and Metroplex of the future Generations toys, as it was suggested that the Comic Deluxes may not come here due to the added comic (licensing issues I think, and it also has a different coding, so would be seen as a new line by retailers - getting them to reorder an existing line is easier than to take on a "new line" if it isn't a whole new series).
Aha... thanks for that. It's not like retailers in Rocky ever seem to restock anyway...
