Thanks to Mr Neurie for letting us know about the latest Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys to be released in Ireland which include the Ice Cream version of Skids and Mudflap.

TFW2005.com are running a story, from Kapow Toys that Waves 4 and 5 of the best selling Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toyline has been delayed (wave 4) and cancelled (Wave 5) in the UK!  This is said to be due to the demand in the US for those toys, so stock allocated for the UK will now be sold domestically in the US.

The figures in these waves of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe toys (including the Ice Cream Truck Twins Skids & Mudflap, Dead End, Jolt and Blaze Master) and the Wave 5 Voyagers (Long Haul and Grindor)  No reason is given for the apparent cancellation of the fifth wave of Voyagers.

They also report however that the Wave 5 Deluxes, including Arcee, Stalker Scorponok and Swerve, has begun to creep into stores - although they do not say which or where.

The latest Transformers Revenge of the Fallen figures to be added to our extensive Transformers galleries are three Human Alliance figures (thanks to Ami-Ami.

Having a quick look at BoxOfficeMojo you can see a nice comparison page for the Domestic (US) takings of Transformers, Iron Man and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. A basic summary breaks down as follows

US Domestic earnings

Transformers: $319,246,193
Iron Man: $318,412,101
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: $268,700,00

Worldwide Takings

Transformers: $708,252,592
Iron Man: $585,133,287

Interestingly Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has now taken 68 million dollars more (in the US) then it's cost to make, and is only $85million dollars behind Iron Man's worldwide total takings. (Obviously there has probably been an increase in box office pricing since the previous two films).

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is already the 38th highest grossing film in the US and 66th worldwide.

Hollywood Reporter is confirming that Paramount is reporting $60.6 million in ticket sales for Wednesday.

Also Variety.com have just reported that Revenge Of The Fallen has taken a massive $60.6 million on it's opening day in the US, which is the highest ever single day take from a Wednesday opening film and is the second highest behind The Dark Knight's record of $67.2 million first day (friday opening).

Paramount was looking for bigger with Michael Bay's highly anticipated Transformers sequel and it looks like they've got it. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen debuted to a record $16 million last night, the most ever for a Wednesday midnight run. (Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight scored $18 million for its midnight run last year, but that was on a Friday.)

So how high will Transformers 2's grosses go this weekend? Predictions have ranged anywhere from $125 million to $160 million for the five-day frame. Whatever the number, it will be good news for the box office, which is having trouble maintaining last summer's record draw.
