Heaps of stationery merchandise, plus costumes and other play things.

Inflatable punch bag (similar to the 2007 Movie punch bag).
Old Movie costumes in new packaging.
New Movie costumes, including Optimus, Bumblebee and the retard crew - Skids and Mudflap. (like kids are gonna want to dress up to look
like characters that appear to be deformed?)
Animated costumes.
Sports helmet (not a bike helmet, but I spose could be used as a bike helmet).
And that covers all the Transformers related stuff I was able to find at this year's event.
The non-Transformers part of this report will be posted in the non-Transformers section of this board, covering Lego, Star Wars, Marvel,
GI Joe, Nerf, Terminator, Star Trek, TMNT, Smurfs, Ben10, DBZ, and MMPR. There were a couple of other toylines I wanted to cover as well,
but seemed to have forgotten them before I left (it was a long 6 hours, and Demonac had to leave in a hurry). I'll try to put in more effort
next year.
A big thankyou to Demonac for the transport from the airport to the venue. And thanks to Linthart for helping post up a number of his photos
to the board, because I wasn't able to until the following day.

Have to say the Bumblebee Blaster Cannon looks better than earlier roleplay weapons. I think I'll pick up this one. I'm glad the RPMs don't appeal to me, so I can save money for other toys. The exceptions being the Battle Chargers, since they still transform and I'm a sucker for the Bumper Battlers/Cyber Slammer type toys.
