Hopefully they will take audience questions again this year. Last year's session was rather brief as it didn't feature any audience questions (in contrast to previous years), misinformed us about unicron being a costco exclusive, and ended kind of abruptly.

LOL, I didnt mean the quality of the line or the show, as those are my faves since BW. The show is amazing. The engineering of the toys are so great.

My complaints is that the launch of the line is so crappy. Exclusive to one retailer, hard to find toys, ect.

Thats not Hasbro's fault necesarily though - If TRU is the only Retailer that opted to release them then that's what happens. And if TRU doesn;t order enugh, that's not Hasbro's fault either...

It does kinda suck it's true, but the fault ain't Hasbro's

I'm glad they're going to be back this year though - I enjoyed talking to them last year. And the chance to play with the upcoming releases was fun.

I dunno. Something seems odd to me, when the first season of the show is now done, and you can hardly find anything in stores.

I though they planned on having a limited release at first (first editions) and they there were going to do a wide release in the new year? At least that's what I though I read some months back.

Probably because the toys were being developed at the same time as the show, and while the show was airing the toys were being molded, and assembled, and by the time the show ended they were packed and ready for store shelves.
