I will definately pick these up, even with the horrible name changes, they're still the insecticons. Besides, it's not like we're forced to call them by those names.

i guess the Insecticons weren't spared from Trademark issues issues.

In the SDCC comic con pictures, there were little ID cards with a release date and price. I'm going through the old galleries to find a pic with a good view of the ID card that shows all the info.

I'm shocked Hasbro is releasing Kickback unmodified... In the original USA run, Hasbro added 'discs' at each end of his wings to blunt the pointy ends.. not this time, though.

The Insecticons have always fascinated me since I first saw them in the Animated movie (Mum bought me it when I was 9, never saw G1 until I was 12) so I'm up for getting these! They look like fun!

Nice touch.

Still not sure if I'll pick them up, I'd rather save my money for a buffet buffet. :-B

Hasbro modified Bombshell's horn too....which was an improvement because it would break off...like my reissue did. I actually bought a junker Bombshell on Ebay to replace the horn.

Probably.

In the $30-$40 price range I believe.

Anyone know if I might be able to find these in a Swedish Toys R Us or is this only limited to North America?

Should be at every single Toys R Us around the world. The amount of stock may be limited though, seeing as you're far off from North America.

Nope, just the US I reckon. When the Toys 'R Us was still in the Netherlands, it never had any of the exclusives.

Doesn't the Netherlands have brutal distribution? From what my friend tells me, the toys don't end up at their stores till months later. And it's not just the US, it's 'North America', so if it were to be secluded then it'll be in Canada/Mexico too.

That's not true. The later TRU reissues were not released in Quebec due to the packaging not being Bilingual.
