Comic Book Resources' 'Lying In The Gutters' column has provided some intersting information on the future of the allegedly troubled Dreamwave.
First up, it appears that Dreamwave's assets and employees are being transferred over to a new company started by Pat Lee's brother, Roger, named DreamEngine. Also, the dreamengine.ca website domain was registered in Roger Lee's name on the 9th of December, to the same address that Dreamwave is registered to.
Finally, and this could just be a coincidence, Dreamwave's official website, www.dreamwaveprod.ca appears to have disappeared from the internet....sadly, it appears that all the speculation regarding Dreamwave's future may have been correct - although it seems that something may be about to rise from the ashes!

New TRANSFORMERS Collectors Club Announcement
To all Transformers Fans:
Hasbro's goal for its TRANSFORMERS Club and Convention has always been to create a fun and exciting experience for TRANSFORMERS fans. We realize that the convention specifically is a great opportunity for the TRANSFORMERS community to come together. And we are pleased to announce the formation of a new TRANSFORMERS Collectors Club, which will be run by Fun Publications.
Led by Brian Savage, Fun Publications has a long history with Hasbro, successfully managing the G.I. JOE Collectors Club and Convention for the past ten years. His track record and dependability made him an excellent choice to take over TRANSFORMERS. We are very excited about Brian’s expertise and the new direction for the club and convention. Brian has a personal passion for collecting that has already been expanded to include TRANSFORMERS toys and products.
We are also thrilled that Jon Hartman, Rik Alvarez, Pete Sinclair, Karl Hartman and Ben Yee have volunteered to take an active role in the new Club, to serve as an "advisory board" to Brian and the rest of the Fun Publications team. These gentlemen obviously bring a wealth of TRANSFORMERS brand knowledge and experience to the table and will be working behind the scenes in a variety of ways.
We invite you to check out www.transformersclub.com for more details in the coming weeks.
As many fans know, Hasbro has been working to resolve several outstanding issues between collectors and 3H Productions, the former entity running the TRANSFORMERS fan club and convention. At its own expense, Hasbro has been able to complete and ship the Sentinel Maximus 2004 convention exclusive toy and the 2003 convention collector plates to customers that had paid for such items according to 3H Production's records.
We have also been addressing the outstanding issues of the unpublished fan club magazines, the Skywarp club exclusive figure and Wreckers #4. Unfortunately, these items were never produced or paid for by 3H Productions, and accordingly, Hasbro has not been able to fulfill these 3H Productions obligations.
However, since the fan community is so important to us and because we want get off to a great start with the new TRANSFORMERS Collectors Club, any OTFCC member that can provide us with a cancelled check or original credit card statement proving their paid membership in the TRANSFORMERS fan club for 2004, will have their membership rolled over to the new TRANSFORMERS Collectors Club for calendar year 2005. Proof of payment can be sent to TRANSFORMERS Club, Mail Stop B-850, 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02862 by April 15, 2005.
Similarly, for fans that ordered and paid for Wreckers #4 and can supply us with a cancelled check or original credit card receipt we will provide a discount in the amount paid towards membership to the new TRANSFORMERS Collectors Club. Proof of payment can be sent to TRANSFORMERS Club, Mail Stop B-850, 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02862 by April 15, 2005.
We expect that TRANSFORMERS fans will be as pleased as we are to be working with Brian and his team at Fun Publications. We are thrilled to be able to continue with the convention and collectors club. Stay tuned to www.transformersclub.com for the club’s upcoming launch.
On behalf of the entire TRANSFORMERS team, thank you for your support. We think you will like the direction we are headed and hope to have you as part of our community in 2005 and beyond.

Hi - Happy New Years Everyone - here is a quick update from
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about some great new arrivals.
GALAXY FORCE TRANSFORMERS: The first releases of the 2005 lineup from
Takara have just arrived! This is a great looking series with nice
packaging, the figures and packaging are very large!
Some of the better looking figures are: GC-01 Galaxy Convoy, GC-03 Vector
Prime, GC-04 Dreadrock and GD-01 Master Megatron. We'll be processing
pre-orders throughout the weekend on these and they will all ship out
Monday/Tuesday. 11 total figures are in stock and be sure to consider
this line - it looks very promising for future releases as well. We do
not have much excess stock on any of these figures, but I'm working on a
second shipment.
HALO: We've received a limited supply of a few older Halo items. Back in
stock are the Wave 5 Set of 4 for $54.99, The Campaign and Slayer
minifigure sets, Black Master Chief, Orange Grunt from Series 4 and Red
Covenant Elite from Series 4.
ROBOTMASTERS: The limited edition Black Robotmasters exclusive figures
have just arrived along with the RM-18 through RM-21. The Black figures
all come packaged in a windowless box that is actually fairly attractive.
The figures are available for $59.99 each or $219.99 for the set of 4.
The RM-18 Road Rocket and RM-19 Double Face are each motorcycles and
priced at $14.99. RM-20 Delta Seeker & X-Gunner are cyberjet repaints
priced at $19.99 for the set of 2, and a nice surprise on the RM-21 set
with DVD. Instead of a normal Beast Convoy - they made the red 'Burning'
Beast Convoy version - a cool looking figure!
GI JOE: Valor vs. Venom wave 6 has just arrived and sets of 6 two-packs
are available for $49.99 each. This set comes with more troop builder
sets, Ninjas, and the very cool Electric Eel figure. Also in stock is the
Dreams & Visions Unknown Soldier figure for $43.99.
ENERGON POWERLINX BATTLES: A new Deluxe wave has just arrived - this wave
includes more of the popular A5 Stormjet and C5 Steamhammer figures. Also
included are the brand new Energon Kicker & High Wire, and D5 Barricade -
the main combiner for that set of figures. We also have more Sharkticon,
Slugslinger, Energon Hot Shot, Downshift, and Tow-Line
BATMAN HUSH: We were previously sold out of Batman Hush series 1 and 2
sets of 5, but both are now back in stock for $59.99. Many other DC
Direct and Marvel Select items are also in stock.
OTHER ITEMS IN STOCK:
STAR WARS: Previews Exclusive Sandcrawler - back in stock for $58.99
TRIGUN: Vash & Nicholas Wolfwood - both back in stock (Various Item Menu)

Thanks!

Well my friends, as hard as it is to believe ... we can actually speak the same words that Victor Caroli spoke 18 some years ago during the beginning of the Transformers animated Movie from 1986.
"It is the year 2005 ..."
Happy New Year my friends ... I can't wait to see what 2005 brings all of us. I have a feeling that it will be an absolutely frikkin' incredible year! I wish ALL of you the best!
On that note, it's time for Ryan to call it a night. :)
