US Toyfair preview/investor event

Not the greatest figure, but i will buy it. Need a better shot of his face too. But first impressions for me aren't bad.

What surprise?

Edit: ooooo must buy those voyagers.

[Ultra Mackness]

In theory this will need to be a thin year for me acquisitions wise, but I just don't know how I'm going to achieve that! The FOC triple changers look great and Metroplex looks fantastic (I see that surprise fatbot and got a little buzz when I did so I won't ruin it for anyone else )

Great to see as well a mention of the Masterpieces - Acid storm I'll probably wait till I see one in hand, but Soundwave comes with all 5 cassettes! Can't wait!! This combined with the masterpiece Datsuns from Takara (Prowl, YESS!), 2013 is going to be a great year.

Wooooooo!!! New Classicsverse toys make Goki happpppeeeee!
Btw, that Springer artwork looks Roche-esque to me.

Hmm... the Autobot text on Metroplex's right breast section says "STAY CLEAR." Scamper?

Start saving up before the toys come out? The advantage of these price point size classes is that you know how much each will cost, so e.g. put $50 aside for each Voyager etc.

Good to see what looks like decent toys again from Hasbro.

[Golden Phoenix]

I saw the Generations figures and suddenly my wallet started screaming.......

[SuspectimusPrime]

Need Metroplex, no matter the cost.

^This. Will take the rest as they come. Blitz wing looks good. Springer looks blah....but will get though.

+2

I keep saying that I'm going to wait and see if Metroplex is actually WORTH the size and price and isn't just another oversized disappointing figure like Energon Omega Supreme or Cybertron Supreme Starscream etc. -- but who am I kidding, I'm probably gonna buy this toy on sight! (then later regret it when it shelfwarms and goes on sale )

What's there to not like already?

1. Looks good in robot mode
2. Looks good in alt mode
3. Actually got paint apps (looks like Hasbro finally cost-cut-ed that cost cutter who was skimming paint-costs off FOC Generations line)
4. His alt mode doesn't look like he's been left alone to crouch on all fours and vomit on the side of the road, after an epic Fri night that ended in his bro-bros ditching him

There's a very special someone In the window on Metroplex's chest to the side....Could it be? I mean...We have Springer coming...
