    OF COURSE there was a huge spike in toy complexity around ROTF (those figures were too hard to transform)

    Well then, that's the fault of the stores for only ordering movie toys.

    Plus all the "kiddy" Bumblebee toys.

    We don't want or need anymore.

    That sucks. In Oregon, the stores near me are about 1/3 Generations, and doing a great job at keeping up on current product. I guess it just varies place to place.

    I barely see any generations stuff beyond the first wave, and even now, Central jersey? Devoid of it.

    Never said it was. You know full well how much grief our fandom gives them to so naively believe they actually love us, at least most of us. :lol

    Oh Hasbro darlings.. I'm sure the wee ones can handle more than 5 step transformers when they are under 8 years of age. and even if they can't that does not excuse a lack of joints and hollow limbs in that category.

    Why are the showing the Dinos as new toys when they have been out a couple of months already in some places... even the Chase and Boulder are on the cusp of release too.

    I want to know if they are going to do a reformatted Vehicle mode Chase & Boulder too. Or ever return to the original size - or make Dani as a figure.

    How come so few questions comments appear on the stream ?

    How fast they're moving through stuff gives me hope for a lot of Generations focus.

    Pretty sure he's in PB Wave 2. Or was that One Step Slash?

    You do know they do focus groups for these toys, right? Get kids of that age bracket to play with them and gather feedback?

    Oh, you know they won't do that. That would make sense.

    Hasbro can't control distribution. That's up to stores. Which sucks, because here in the Netherlands, I haven;t seen any Generations toys. Literally, never.
