No MP Grimlock here yet. Went to TRU Castle Hill tonight after work and nada. Lucky Americanadians!

August is shaping up to be a huge month for American fans. Not only is wave 2 of the main lines making their way to stores, but heaps of store exclusives as well.

Just sighted today was the 2-packs displayed at BotCon, with a deluxe and a legends figure, loosely inspired by scenes in the TF2 Movie.
Bumblebee Vs Grindor
Brawl Vs Jolt
(all are redecos)

We just got in the RPMs Diecast Minivehicles a couple weeks ago (which is the short-lived set of 14 or 15* vehicles in 3 themes - Metal Heroes (8), NEST (3 or 4*), Stunticon (3))... and just this week, the same vehicles are showing up in America in the new Speed Stars packaging - each one with some altered paint decos (some minor, some completely different).

* - wave 1 packaging has NEST Sideswipe listed, wave 2 packaging doesn't, so was probably cancelled.

Also wanted to mention (since he's making me extremely jealous...), Justowen has been finding and buying up quite a few wave 2 toys (AA, PCC, Gen) in HK this week. Shouldn't be too much longer then for them to appear here, hopefully.

Argh, I too am jealous. But at least the longer they take to get here, the better chance that when they do come out, I will have the money for them. But I still want them. By that I mean Generations. Haven't really been into the other ones. Not sure why though, they are cool.

I forget, does wave 2 of Generations include Dirge as well?
