That's exactly what I thought when I received mine. I might get a Tiger Track though, he looks pretty good.

This is very true.

I still collect Joes, but sadly of late it seems like most of what I want (ARAH updates) are exclusives. So that's a lot of money being spent even with retail charging $10 a pop. I still buy them though.

Vermillion, I have also dropped Joe collecting. It didn't hurt that the bulk of the toys were of no appeal to me in the Retaliation line. And I never saw any Alley-Viper so that helped me avoid buying them.
I'm mostly looking forward to wave 3 and Blind Master.

I've bought the same amount. I've got 4 red ninjas, 1 black ninja, and the Firefly 3 pack so far.

I hope those cassettes have better QC than the Takara one's that I've been reading about.

I doubt there will be a Tank version of Galvatron. Everything about this line now as far where G1 characters are concerned is all based on accuracy to the cartoon.

We certainly haven't seen a yellow Sideswipe as Sunstreaker and I highly doubt that we'll see a tank Galvatron just to get the G2 Megatron repaint afterward.
I'm fairly certain we'll see a new Megatron [Walther P38] much like we got MP-10. Hegemon and Quakewave have really given Takara a starting point to building the better G1 Megatron.
Yes, we need a new Megatron to go with MP-10.
