First clue is out:

"This might be a history loop...but...something old, something new, something foreign and nothing blue."

Sounds like they might have learned from last years blunder and given us the Red Shadows set (hopefully). Also, Brian Savage made a comment on the MC board saying something along the lines that due to mold problems one of the figures had to be changed 4 times. This pretty much confirms they are going back to the "O" ring style this year.

Might as well start adding the figures are they show up:

Oh, it's a history loop as Savage is still playing these stupid games.  Just announce the set.

Last year I was pretty excited when I red those clues and when people start guessing that it could be the Red Shadows... in O-Ring format. But, when I saw the remake of the 2002 Crimson set in the new style, I was very disappointed... then mad... then sad...

Last year was my last chance to get my old fashioned o-ring style Joe before it was really over. Now, it start again  

Would it be O-Ring or not, would it be a great set or a remake, ... I think I will stop guessing and just wait until I see an official  picture  .

I think there are legal loopholes prohibiting the Club or Hasbro from using the "classic" Red Shadows. Maybe the Devil's Due reinterpretation, though.

I would love to see a set based on the DD Shadows. It would be interesting to see how that set would be filled out.

A red shadows set would be awesome.  I too, wish they'd just come out and announce what it's gonna be.  I need to know if I need to start saving for it, lol.

"This might be a history loop...but...something old, something new, something foreign and nothing blue."

well The shadows are old, but the DD version is newer, definitely a foreign connection and no blue in their outfits. Of course this is mere speculation, and holds as much water as TF fans wondering if the "Lost generation" means G2, transtech or even Go-bots.

But as far as O-rings go, I thought they said that Big Lob would be the last o-ring figure they would be releasing thru the club?

I know nothing about Transformers anymore. I don't even know where the TF con is or if info is up about it.

At least O-rings for the sets are coming back.

Cobra Interrogator is first on the list.  So I highly doubt this would have any thing to do with Red Shadows.  I suspect the Plague instead.

So far I'm thinking "meh".

I loved the original Interrogator. One of my favorite molds of all time. Hard to improve on it. This version with a Snake Eyes body doesn't blow me away. Lets see the rest of the set.
