    i think there is a trend, retails at the toy fair bidded for the right to receive stock before other retials

    kmart = universe 2.0
    big w = marvel crossovers
    toyworld = ultras
    Toy kingdom = animated leaders

    i think target will get the new wave of animated deluxes and voyagers

    I don't believe that assessment's right. Universe 2.0 has been appearing at both Target and K-Marts I've seen pretty much simultaneously but that's not a surprise given that they're owned by the same parent.

    I guess BigW grabbed Marvel Crossovers b/c its one of the lesser lines.

    When did animated leaders appear at TK? I haven't seen them yet.

    With the term 'kibble', is that referring to the parts from alt-mode appearing in robot mode?

    I think you've pretty much nailed it spot on

    Yes it is, it tends to be all the unsightly bits that hang off the robot.

    With the Titanium line of toys, are they generally good toys (as in looking nice and posing)?. I currently have a WW Starscream and WW Optimus Prime (still in the box).

    I have read that early toys in the line weren't that great. I don't have any problems with Starscream, besides paint applications.

    the problem i have found, which i think most other ppl have found too. is that because they use both die cast and plastic parts, they cant really hold poses.. the weight of the die cast on some of the joints makes it difficult to get some of them into a position where they wont fall down over time.. i only have 3, ww magnus, fallen and soundwave.. fallen is the best i have, whereas soundwave has to lean on something or he will just fall backwards..

    Soundwave's and GI Joe Megatron's joints are awful, WW Prime's paint job can be pretty bad - pot luck. If your Prime has a dodgy paint job, you should be able to see it through the box.

    My Sunstorm has trouble with one shoulder collapsing, but Starscream & Thundercracker are fine.

    On the whole I'm fairly impressed with the line, but Soundwave & GI Joe Megs are to be avoid, hungta.

    BTW I've reviewed almost all of them here.
