    I too saw that in last nights MX. Bit of a shock to see something Transformers related in it.

    It was anticipated that Hasbro US would catch up their waves to us, but it seems they have returned to be the leading western market again, with the sighting of wave 2 Autobot Alliance Voyagers BanzaiTron and Battle Blades Optimus before us.

    Been found in US retail as well.

    Like you said, hope we see it soon. No tso much for me, but for others who didn't get the previous release. Though I may just buy another anyway

    August is shaping up to be a huge month for American fans. Not only is wave 2 of the main lines making their way to stores, but heaps of store exclusives as well.

    Just sighted today was the 2-packs displayed at BotCon, with a deluxe and a legends figure, loosely inspired by scenes in the TF2 Movie.
    Bumblebee Vs Grindor
    Brawl Vs Jolt
    (all are redecos)

    We just got in the RPMs Diecast Minivehicles a couple weeks ago (which is the short-lived set of 14 or 15* vehicles in 3 themes - Metal Heroes (8), NEST (3 or 4*), Stunticon (3))... and just this week, the same vehicles are showing up in America in the new Speed Stars packaging - each one with some altered paint decos (some minor, some completely different).

    * - wave 1 packaging has NEST Sideswipe listed, wave 2 packaging doesn't, so was probably cancelled.

    Also wanted to mention (since he's making me extremely jealous...), Justowen has been finding and buying up quite a few wave 2 toys (AA, PCC, Gen) in HK this week. Shouldn't be too much longer then for them to appear here, hopefully.

    Argh, I too am jealous. But at least the longer they take to get here, the better chance that when they do come out, I will have the money for them. But I still want them. By that I mean Generations. Haven't really been into the other ones. Not sure why though, they are cool.
