Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Christmas is still a couple of months away...

yes i know...my company started asking who's interested in Kris Kringle since last week and i got a shock. moreover, they've increase the price to contribute a gift at $15 (instead of the previous $10). $5 more and I can hope to receive a decent Transformer Deluxe toy....

i'm hoping to get a Scout this time round. Last year, I've got the Movie 2-pack Robot Heroes!!

Because Universe 2 is a diahorrea of various continuities

does that mean that Tankor, Acidstorm and other deluxes are not from the Classics universe?

Is Henkei/Universe 2 moulds still a continuation of Henkei/Classics moulds?

Am i the only one angered over this issue? > We have a ton of Robot Heroes, but we DON'T receive Dispensor? How am i going to complete my movie cast?!!

Hotshot w/ Jolt (Deluxe) 2009

was there ever a picture of this toy from SDCC or botcon??

[Gutsman Heavy]

I believe it was pictured but never seen outside so far, a botcon-ner would be more knowledgeable i suspect.

Doesn't look like it was shown at SDCC (which allowed photos), so it was only at BotCon (which didn't allow photos). It was a fairly new figure that was still only in the uncoloured prototype stage when shown at BotCon.

OK stupid question time...
Does the Classics Megatron make it thru customs? Seems theres plenty of issues with Encore and MP05, but I couldnt find anyone saying they'd lost their classic/henkei/universe2008 version.
Been trolling thru posts trying to find "definitive" answer on this.
I'm guessing its ok, as toyworld had them on sale the other day. just didnt want to order one and then look like a dipstick for not checking first.
Thanks.

classic/henkei/universe megs don't look like a real/replica of any weapon... so there should be no problems with customs

Mate, they're not gonna seize your Classics/Henkei Megs (It's a freakin' nerfgun... )

[griffin]

And it's packaged in robot mode, making it easier to get through, even if it was classed as being close enough to looking like a weapon for Hasbro US to give it bright colours...
