Back on July 17th, 2008, TFV opened its doors to our little group, and the idea that all views from the Transformers community are welcome. Today as we look back on the first 2 years and over 15,000 forums posts, as well as dozens of questions answered in the official Hasbro Q&A program, we also look to the future of Transformers and what our group can do with it. Thanks for the first 2 great years, and to many more to come! Post your thoughts in the anniversary thread.

This week at Toys R Us stores, pretty much all Hasbro products are buy 1, get 1 half off, and not just of the same brand. So you could buy 1 Transformers figure and 1 Star Wars figure, and the discount still applies. This sale will continue until the 18th, according to in-store signage, and since TRU has been told by Hasbro to set aside the August street date on almost everything Transformers, they have a lot of new product right now. Good luck, and good hunting!
