TRU = Toys R Us as far as I know. So they are certainly in the US.

Was out and about today and stopped by the TRU at near my house. They finally got some new stock including some of the hunt for the Decepticons line, a few WFC Bumblebees, and a Drift. Picked up the Drift since I'd never seen him before in stores and I gotta say I like him a lot. I know almost nothing about his character, but he looked cool on the shelf so I snagged him. I'm really liking his bot mode and all the weapon storage. Transformation was fun and he has nice pose-ability. My only gripe is the soft plastic swords. Would have liked them to be something a little less bendy, but it's a minor gripe. On another note, finally broke down and ordered Springer...err Warbot Defender, from BBTS (as this is apparently they last time they'll stock him) and he shows up tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to that.

There's actually two games, Street Fighter X Tekken is based around a 2D field similar to SF4 and is being done by Capcom. While Tekken X Street Fighter is going to be based in a 3D field, feature more Tekken like mechanics, and is being developed by Namco. As far as I know, only the Capcom iteration was available (unexpectedly) to play at comic con this weekend.

Saw Optimus in person at Comic Con and no picture anywhere on the net does this thing justice. He is perfect and I cannot wait for pre-order.

Despite being teamed with Activision, Blizzard pretty much handles its own business. Not entirely of course, but more or less. While the next 2 pieces will be "expansions" we are looking at games at least as large as Wings of Liberty so that's around 30 missions for each race (it was around 10 per for the first SC). So even though you could technically call them expansions, it's really more of a trilogy of full fledged titles, so you're probably right there, 50-60 dollars a hit for the next two. As for the multiplayer, yeah you're pretty much out of luck if you want to play multiplayer with family if you only have a single copy. If I remember right, Korea is getting a multiplayer only option that is free, or at the very least, substantially less than full retail. Perhaps we'll see something of that nature released here as well.

You are essentially right with regards to ME2, Getting Legion is basically the catalyst for the endgame. If you do it really early (or before doing many loayalty missions) non essential crew that were taken start dying after 1 or 2 missions. As far as loyalty goes, if they are not loyal I believe they will die no matter what. If you take them with you to the final boss, they are crushed by falling debris and other non loyal members will die either on approach to the base or during the cut scenes.

You are correct. There is a very small Protoss section int he single player game that is tied into the story. However Zerg will only be playable in multiplayer. The other two races will get their own full fledged titles in the future. Next will be the Zerg campaign/game and Protoss will be the last one.

I've been waiting for that Prime since comic con last year. I'll be eagerly awaiting the pre-order for him in August. It will be nice to see him in person at the Con on Saturday though.

Got mine a little early cant play it, but got to check out all the goodies in the Collector's Edition first hand. They did an awesome job, now I just gotta wait to actually play it.

Which I can live with I suppose. Liger Zero was my fav so I'm pretty excited to see one of that caliber coming out. They might even convince me to buy all the armor kits or w/e for it.

I never got the armor kits for my metal Liger Zero. That being said BBTS has the Kotobukiya Liger Zero for pre-order, been waiting for them to do that one.

Still want to see this, but haven't gotten a chance. Though I have seen some of the sideshow and hot toys products coming out for it and I really like some of the stuff. The "Falconer" helmet and the Berserker Predator look awesome. So at least some of the new designs are good, hopefully I'll be able to catch it before it vanishes from theaters.

It's Doc Brownatron of course.

I actually really enjoy 3, and 4...well 4 is at least alright until the newborn shows up. I have the full set on standard def DVD so I'll definitely pick this set up when it hits.

I think my target is getting rid of theirs honestly. Most/all of it is labeled for clearance and it's basically all skids and mudflap now.

Finally broke down and just ordered the WFC Prime and Bee. Both Target and Tru by my house have absolutely god awful selections of Transformers. between the two stores, I don't think I've seen a restock of any kind in at least 3 weeks. They just keep shrinking the sections and moving the same TFs around to fill out the pegs.

I thought the whole point of the Widow was that it was the big, heavy, but intensely powerful rifle. I think it even says in the description that it is too heavy for standard assignments. It's also why Legion is the only other character who is able to utilize it. Could be a typo, but the thing is supposed to be nasty, so 89 pounds would certainly qualify

Yup you can totally go off the Gameinformer article about keeping everyone alive. As for money in the Firewalker, I'm not really sure TBH. I know that money in all the DLC is pretty sparse however.

You definitely made a good choice with regards to Legion. In my multiple playthroughs, I've actually made the same choice about Liara's little side quest.

It's 520-560, I cant recall exactly, but somewhere in that neighborhood.

I actually tried several of the options and got varying degrees of paragon/renegade points. One of the choices netted me around 15 renegade even though it was in the traditional "good" response slot. But it seems there is no avoiding at least SOME renegade (or paragon) points, regardless of how you play.

Razor is damn good imo, especially if you are into a little extra Cylon mystery. Of course, some of that goes away if you finish off S4. I haven't heard much good about The Plan and I still have yet to watch it myself. I'll probably just wait now till I buy it Blu-ray.

I really liked Sideswipe in TF2, while he got very little screen time he was still pretty awesome. So I'm glad to see them (probably) bringing him back.

Collector beam destroys all, even on Insanity. The fight is just long. But there 3 spots in the arena you can go to basically avoid all attacks from it. That being said, I always get a huge renegade bonus right after that and I can never figure out why. It made me quite angry. Also, new DLC "Overlord" is out. Tried it for about an hour and liked it so far. But I was sick, then out of town, so I didn't get much more time with it.

I love PA, and that comic is probably my favorite one in months.
