Thanks for all the effort "canprime".  Can you confirm the number of figures and vehicles planned for 2010?  I read somewhere that it is 45 figures and 15 vehicles, but you had said 25 figures and 10 vehicles.  Not sure which is accurate.

So far all I have seen or heard is 25/10, but I'll try and confirm later.

Forgot to mention.

Hasbro guys specifically said yesterday that there were no plans for a new Terrordrome, Flagg, etc. 

Nothing big besides the PITT.

Ok... So.. umm... This Hate set. Was it on display or on sale?

Either way, I find it cool that one is there. :-)



Great updates!

He was walking by with it under his arm while I was writing a post.  I've seen him around since but not the set.  I haven't seen the set on sale at any table.

I do have to say that the dealer room is pretty sparse this year.

The treads on the new HISS just make me think of the robot from Lost in Space (Movie)

That Jungle Viper looks like pure bad-ass.

Is CC's flag cloth or plastic?

I believe the flag (a cobra emblem with side tassles) is all plastic.   I also asked about the HISS drone and was told the final colour will more closely mtach the red on CC.

As of 4pm only the S.A.F. w/Blades exclusive had sold out.

I'm not sure about the others, but I would hazard a guess that price is what is keeping them from already being sold out.

Also, it was mentioned that the JOE "planes" in the movie were called "Howlers" in case you were wondering.

Here are the photos I was able to get from the never seen or heard panel.

This is just the toys that never made it to production stages.

Unfortunately they rushed us out so it was a mad scramble to try and get photos.

BOMBER JET BASED ON A SWEDISH JET AND HAMMER W/MISSILE & EQUALIZER TURRET


ENGINE AND FIRST CAR (WITH TURRET GUN AND WORKING SPOTLIGHT THAT ROTATES)
FAR LEFT IS THE THUNDERCLAP STYLE "ATOMIC CANNON" (FACING CAMERA SO YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT)


TANKER CAR (RIGHT SIDE OF PIC) OPENED WITH MISSILE LAUNCHER & CABOOSE (LEFT SIDE) OPEN WITH SCOUT CAR

Just some thoughts.

- I have better pics on my Iphone of the vehicles, so I will get them on as soon as I can, same for the figures.

- The Sand Serpent (Night Raven repaint) is actually pretty sweet in person.  
- The Cobra Ice Cutter is unique, but ultimately I think it is an easy pass.  It is Alpha size
- The Cycly Armor is VERY reminiscent of the Robotech Cyclon armor.  It is really sweet looking.  Alpha class price point.
- The HISS Attack Scout is basically the treads of the new Bravo class HISS with a little weapon attached and the driver right down the middle.  Not a very attractive mold.

- The JUNGLE VIPER is basically a Night Viper from ARAH with green Archangel (Xmen) type wings and one HUMONGOUS sniper rifle that can be dismantled into parts.

If you can find the pics tonight (I know, like that will be a problem), take a look at the figures, they are SWEET!!!!  Hasbro really went all out for the 2010 line.  

Right now Zartan and Jungle Viper are my favourites!!

The desert Zartan. Does it look like the RAH or ROC Zartan?

He is a mix of ARAH and Resolute.  COMPLETELY BADASS LOOKING!!!  He will be a no brainer for buying.  If I can figure out how to get the fig pics posted then I'll put them up tonight.
