In the wild, mouse at the ready, hunting down links
From a fan report of Hasbro’s panel at the Official Transformers Collector’s Convention:
Arcee is small for financial reasons and because they didn’t think she’d appeal to the main market. Michelle said 7 year old boys don’t want a $15 woman.

From Firingsquad’s look at Rome: Total War units:
Incendiary pigs are ‘one shot’ weapons intended to spread panic and terror amongst enemies, particularly mounted troops. The pigs are coated in pitch, tar and oil, and herded towards the enemy. At the right moment, the pigs are ignited by their handlers and, not unnaturally, they run away in pain and terror – hopefully towards the enemy.
War is hell.
But The Flaming Pigs would make an excellent name for a rock band.

The New Straits Times reports:
Malaysia’s tourist arrivals are likely to hit an unprecedented high this year, making it the second most visited Asian destination after China.
This would also help maintain the industry’s position as the country’s second largest revenue earner and contributor to the GNP.
Events like the Malaysia Mega Sales Carnival are helping the country achieve this year’s target of 15 million visitors but sadly, some unscrupulous retailers are going all out to fleece customers.
