Just to clarify for HK - there was no midnight launch. That appears to be happening in June for some odd reason. The toys just appeared on the shelves and Toys'R'Us HK did an announcement on their FB page. There was no pre-warning or pre-information so some were caught off guard. Normally these events have a huge fanfare beforehand but it's been an odd one this time.

The Midnight Madness event in HK will be limited, I am guessing in a similar way to the Star Wars one, where VIP ticket holders get additional exclusives and access to areas/people regular attendees don't as well as first chance to get into the store to buy the new line of figures (guessing in this case maybe the Wave 2 stuff?) At the Star Wars event they had the CEO for Toys'R'Us Asia, Hasbro Asia Pacific, CEO of Disneyland HK, etc. Unfortunately they didn't want to mingle even with us VIP holders so hoping it will be a little different for the Transformers event this time around.

Should also point out the plastic folders are one side Optimus, the other Megatron. I spent enough to get two... ewps.

The kids and I are headed over to TST to look at that statue and the display in the flagship store tonight. I'll post some first hand pictures from that if people want to see.
