Dropkick: Well he's solid. Can't say he'll be an instant add to my collection, particularly if he is not mistransformed in that picture.
Longarm: Nice figure, probably one I'll pick up
Payload: Best of the dronesque robots.
Brawl: I've been holding on to the deluxe and not opening him, despite buying him on day one, since I wanted to see what leader class looked like... Well he looks to bulky for my tastes so deluxe is finally going to be opened.
Ratchet: Hmmm I'll need to do more research, I though I heard a classics ratchet was coming, if not I may very well add this guy.
Thundercracker: Nah I'll skip, I have Armada Thundercracker and he is good enough.

And does indeed look like Dropkick is badly mistransformed.
Interesting name, but if they can do Grandslam, Raindance, Slamdance, and so forth, I suppose the can do DROPKICK.
Other good sports related names for TFs?
Steeplechase?
Goalkick?
Slamdunk?
Sacrifice Fly
Bunt
Suicide Squeeze
First Down
Touchdown
Field Goal
Punt
Hail Mary
Hattrick
Slapshot
Sticksave
...
Sorry, I just kind of find DROPKICK to be an odd name.

If that is indeed correct, then that is far earlier than anyone expected, seeing as the US only just got Wave 3 (08 Bumblebee, Dreadwing, Arcee, Bonecrusher) last week.
No we didnt. Well not by me. The shelves are still empty. The only new crap ive found were the new FABs.

I've planned on it, especially now that the black stripes on the front of the car are getting rubbed off, I've noticed the paint on the doors is messed up... why are these movie figures such crap..?

Are the new ones, ie Payload, Longarm, Dropkick, Ratchet Repaint, etc... going to be exclusive to a certain retail chain?

I have been stopping into TARGET, TOYS R US and WAL MART stores whenever I can. Checking the websites everyday. But the only place I can find these new toys are on EBAY and frankly I'm getting pretty sick and tired of having to pay three times the price and being raked over the coals with shipping costs. I know I dont have to by them but I'm so anxious. Anyhow, what is the usual process when these toys are released. Are they shipped once or twice and are they all released in limited numbers. If you dont get them soon after release is it probably safe to assume you will never get them in the stores . I read day after day that these new toys are popping up in stores but the stores I go to are just empty racks and shelves. Maybe someone or a few of you could share with me your experience when it comes to securing these toys when they are released. And do you think they are going to rerelease some of the CYBERTRON series toys, I've got the big PRIME, METROPLEX, Menasaur, Cybertron Primus, Quickmix but I really want to get my hands on the big Megatron and Galvatron figures but I dont want to pay 90$ for them on ebay. Any info would be appreciated.

You Need to just be patient, once a toy starts showing up all over Ebay in-mass, it will be in retail soon, you just gotta be patient.
Trust me this is coming from a guy who's sacraficed a weeks worth of food money for some new bots on way more than one occasion.
Also, don't be afraid to search general LOTS, as alot of times you'll find the figure you want just mixed in with a bunch of others.
Case in point, BW RatTrap alone goes for about $60-$75 loose, I got him in a bulk lot of 8 for around $20, and that included 7 other bots!
As for past toylines, I recomend waiting for the movie hype to die as it has online TF costs at a rediculious high. But once it's over, those costs will deminish along with demand.
But in short, just take a deep breath and wait. I'm dying for a Voyager Megatron right now, but I know if I do shell out for the Ebay cost of way to much, I'll find it on a shelf before it even arrives for half the price.
It's just the way it goes.

Longarm
Payload
Dropkick looks a lil off, but he may just be mistransformed, this being Hasbro and all.
And Ratchet still looks off to me.
Why the hell, on a leader class transformer, is his head visible in both modes?!
