And...repaint of a shelfwarmer Decepticon Swindle?
Since when are ANY movie deluxes shelfwarmers? The only one I can even find with any hope of it being in stock is G1 redeco Jazz, and that's because each of my local Targets put a whole case of them out at every store and they have 4 or 5 left in stock. Everything else sold out long ago. The shelf warmers are the Cyber Slammers, the Real Gear and most recently the Tech Toys.
It is just me or does Landmin look like he plays hockey or something?

I got him from Hasbro Toy shop when I ordered Pepsi Prime. They mistakenly listed him for scout price and I got free shipping. So he cost me $7.

NO REPAINTS WITHOUT NEW HEADSCULPTS!
If they'd given the Camshaft figure a new head, I'd genuinely be interested. With the same lenshead, that everyone hated in the first place, I'll definitely pass. There's a lot of other subtle things you could do that would add a lot of interest to a repaint. With the right choices, you can give an old figure a totally different feel for a relatively low cost.
Why do Hasbro have such a lack of inspiration when it comes to repaints? Fan repaints and kitbashes are always so much better.

Ya know Skowl, with all due respect, I think you're WAY wrong on this one. I haven't heard ANYONE, G1 fan or otherwise, clamor for a repaint of movie BB. I personally like the BB mold in red, but I didn't clamor for such a repaint, and I never heard anyone else clamor for one, either. No one HAS to clamor for a red repaint of BB, Hasbro does it automatically.

Thus, Allspark Power is the new theme. These new robots have been infused with the power of the Allspark, or some nonsense like that, which is represented by the little hints of electric blue coloring on all of this new wave of toys. Look closely - you'll see the same bright blue on every toy in the "Allspark Power" line.
