2005 Boards member D Drive has sent us some information regarding the Canadian release dates of the first assortment of the new “Hunt for the Decepticons” Scout series, as well as the much-awaited Power Core Combiners. Hunt for the Decepticons Scouts Hubcap, Crankstart, Brimstone and Backfire are due to hit suppliers in May 2010. Also due to hit retailers in May 2010 are the first assortments of Power Core Combiners, Scout two packs Huffer, Smolder and Searchlight along with the larger Commander Class sets Bombshock with Combaticons and Skyburst with Aerialbots. Other items expected in May include the new Power Bots Optimus Prime and a Stealth Bumblebee Powerbot, plus voice masks for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, which are probably repackaged versions of the previous voice changer masks.
This is all tentative information relating to a Canadian retailer, but it gives us an idea of when we might begin seeing these new toys on shelves.

Out of the ones they mention, I might get Backfire and maybe Searchlight next month.

Awesome, looks like May is the kick off month for the PCCs. I'm looking forward to these guys.

Darn. Time to prep the wallet. I need to cut back a bit.

dunno about the rest of the country…but targets in Tucson AZ have knocked the permanent price of deluxes to 10.07 and scouts to $7.04 here …so i would not doubt that new product is going to hit soon…these prices went into affect about 2 weeks ago here….
Omega Charge
Generations, HFD, and Leader Starscream are hitting soon… why is there always stuff to buy?
Glad I'm skipping the PCC's (for now).

The sooner my brother gives me the $55 to buy my DS Lite, the better. I want those Power Core Combiners…

ROTF Scouts, Leader SS, maybe a PCC or two, and some HftD figures, and I'm good.
GreenScream
I'll probably pick up Huffer and pass on the rest.

Crap. I need to get caught up on some stuff between then and now. AND save up money for Botcon. AND make sure I have money ready for those surprise "Your pre-order arrived!"
emails from BBTS.
Yikes. Wallet be slaughtered.

Oh damn do I ever know the feeling. Between the Transformers and GI Joe movies my collecting has been way down. The Marvel stuff has only sort of trickled out so before you know it you are all caught up on new releases.
Really looking forward to trying out the new Power Core stuff to see if it's going to be something I'm going to like. If I end up liking the Power Core stuff then that would give me a good excuse to go track down some of the movie scout figures since some of them might go nicely with the new Power Core line.
Then maybe Bot Con will have some exciting news on the Generations line so collecting is starting to get exciting again or at least for me it is.

Damn! I really really hope this is true. I was hoping I'd be able to snap these up before the fall. That TF addiction has me shakin with withdrawal right about now
FanimusMaximus
well time to get ready for the hunt
Paxtin
Yeah, I was in the same mind set of yay new toys, oh no why my wallet hurt?
Then I realize the only figures I care about in this list are the two scouts Hubcap and Brimstone. So I think I'll be fine.

Glad to hear they're getting released so soon. I'll only be getting Hubcap out of the scouts so my wallet won't take too big of a hit.
ZeroEdge
oooh aweso,e, this means I might see a couple of these dudes at TF Con!!!
