Can I get some help with the rough release dates for these things? Either in the month or which quarter of the year they are expected? I really need to set up a planned budget if I'm to continue my TF addiction.

 

Star Convoy: Already out

Megalo Convoy: Already out

Orion Pax: Already out

 

BT-16 Skids: Nov 18?

 

BT-? Convoy (or Alt Optimus): ?

 

BT-? Mirage: ?

 

GF/Cyb Primus: ?

 

GF/Cyb Unicron: ?

 

Cyb HotShot Hotrod repaint: ?

 

BW 10th Reissues: ?

 

BW 10th New Optimus Primal: ?

 

BW 10th New Megatron: ?

 

 

Any rough estimates/rumours/guesses would be appreciated. I just need to figure out  how much and when I need to save money, just to help things along. Thanks heaps.

Most of those are next summer, The new BW Megatron and Optimus are due in Fall/Autumn (i think)

Heh.  Slapped together some spreadsheet for just this purpose when the botcon info was announced.  Most of it probably isn't the same though so can only answer a couple..:

 

2005:

Oct

- Alt Prowl

- Alt Sunstreaker

- BT Skids (not shopping for it, but gotta be pretty near future since it's next in lines, no?)

 

Dec

- G1 Commemorative Astrotrain

- G1 Commemorative Sideswipe?

 

Q4

- BT Mirage? (unknown but conservative estimate)

 

2006:

- Cybertron Autovolt

- Cybertron Hot Rod (Hot Shot recolor)

- Cybertron Octane (Jetfire recolor)

 

Jan

- BW 10th Wave 1

 

Mar

- Universe (unknown exclusive)

 

June

- Alt Mirage

- Cyb Primus

 

Ye might wanna check the back archives of TFormers.com's news feeds since one of them was the rough Hasbro release schedule where I got these from and the rest were extrapolated from images of the Hasbro displays.  Believe the BT/Alt Optimus monstrosity is next year, but since the proto image was painted and Mirage wasn't, perhaps the Optimus will come out first (tenuous rationalization but..).

- G1 Commemorative Sideswipe?

 

 

I'd be way interested in THAT showing up state-side.

 

Is this confirmed?

- G1 Commemorative Sideswipe?

Can't say it was confirmed, but believe it was mentioned as possible/likely because Hasbro apparently felt TRU somehow completely failed to ever put Sideswipe on the shelves AT ALL when they were supposed to.  Hence Comm Sideswipe would be a hasbrotoyshop.com exclusive.

 

However... I am unable to confirm or deny any such reportings other than... I believe this was as reported at Botcon. =)

I need to watch this. I've had G1 Sunstreaker since I was a wee lad. I always wanted his bro.

 

MUST HAVE!!!!

Didn't realise Sideswipe was that hard to get. There's a dozen at my TRU sitting on the shelves, along with all the other reissues. :tfhuh

 

 

 

It doesn't help that they cost between $50-$70 here :tfmad
