So... You're gonna wait in line when they are in stock?

....maybe

I just think $500+ could be better spent elsewhere, to buy an iphone just to get an exclusive TF movie figure, is ridiculous. You could get a complete Fort Max for the same price, and it'd be more worthwhile.

Of course if you actually can use an iPhone, and not just to look cool, go for the iPhone/figure pack.

But, yeah $500 could be better spent than on a phone with a movie figure that'll cost you $20 otherwise.

This would be one of those figures I'd hope Ryan stays away from buying, unless someone who gets the figure sends him in photographs, but I'd rather see a bunch of new galleries of figures versus one iPhone exclusive figure.

Neil Harden, marketing director for XtremeMac, did not want to say which figures will be used in the cross promotion, but he did have the following to say in the article;

"We are excited that we will link our Xtreme iPhone hardcase with Transformers 2. Eventhough Transformers 2 won't be in theaters until june 2009, it's never to early to start the hype. We expect these to be sold out in a matter of hours. These [Transformers-fans] are completely predictable. That's why Paramount is making the sequel".

Update:
It would appear that the claims made iPhoneclub.nl have been proven to be false. The site has updated the page stating that they have been the victom of a hoax.

"Our apologies, but this message, from iPhonesavior is a fake and made up by them meant to be a satire. After some research it appears that XstreamMac doesn't exist (a variant on the name of the well known XtremeMac) and we can find no record of the aforementioned Director of Marketing, Neil Harden. We've simply been had. "

I guess the iPhoneclub.nl learned a lesson in news posting. Always check your item when you can and ALWAYS mention your source.
