I'll at least say that I'm happy that the rest of you are happy so you folks go out there and enjoy something awsome for me. Hell, enjoy it twice just to rub my nose in it. That'd be cool with me.

Anyway, does anyone know if this will be released in european Toys'R'Us? I hope I'll be able to buy directly in Portugal. Were the old TRU Commemorative Series released worldwide?

I didnt know people loved the insecticons that much to have em back, but I do say I was looking at getting one of em off ebay, a few years back, the one with the face like rumble in cartoon.
Perceptor is nice, I dont have many G1s, but aside from Inferno and Hound who im looking for mainly, this guy may be added to the hunting list
Nice to see everyone happy for once, with the recent downers about the movie line its nice to see everyone excited again apart from one or two, As I'll wait a few years for mine, those of you wanting them, Gotta Catch em All!
Happy Hunting Guys!

The joints were a little loose, two of the three were missing guns and two were missing wings or mandbiles but otherwise in good condition for G1. So I will defintely be picking up a new set.
And this is the random hyper-optimistic post for the day!
The Insecticons and Perceptor are a nice re-launch of this line, if indeed that's what's happening. Pretty iconic bunch.

Yeah, that thread was awesome, especially my ideas
I feel the same way, though Perceptor was my first G1 Autobot, I doubt I'll pick this up. If he was repainted and call something else, then yes. Insecticons? I have a few of the originals, but if they were repainted in a different color scheme (even slightly) to differentiate them from the originals, I would buy a few sets to use as "army builder", with the originals as their "Generals".

Hey, we got Ricochet last time around, so it's possible

Man, I am pleased. Now I'm crossing my fingers, hoping they do it right, not like 25th Optimus Prime.

I'll pick up a Perceptor for me, and the Insecticons for my daughter (I already have the Takara-reissued ones).

Did that make sense to anyone other than me?

I also can't seem to shake the thought of getting Perceptor which is totally irrational. The only reason I want him is because of the AHM comic and I know that "this" Perceptor and "that" Preceptor are technically 2 different creatures. I just don't trust that "that" Perceptor is going to be released in the Universe or any other line and therfore find myself wanting "A" Perceptor regardless.

Made perfect sense to me....not sure what that says about my state of mental health though.....

If it helps, both Kickback and Perceptor are awesome figures regardless of what fiction they may or may not show up in.

My thoughts exactly. I got a set of pretty loose Insecticons a few years back and have always hoped for a chance to find a reissue set. Looks like good news is here for us.
