Don't you know? Only america matters   haha

 

Well x'cuse me. The OP clearly used a picture from a Malaysian retail shop, hence the confusion. Also, he did not give credit and acknowledged where he got it from. so yeah. Thread lock in 3..2...1...  

 

Isn't that the Takara deco?

 

It was a joke on the whole entitlement rage on this forum  

 

ahhhh i see... well played, I guess? ah well whatever it was the OP needs a big face palm...

 

There's already three bumblebee repaints:

Bumblebee,
NYC Bumblebee,
Starscream Vs Bumblebee two pack

Isnt that enough for a dead line?

 

See OP?

 

I honestly don't see the point to people whining on forums about things being' unavailable'. If you can get on a computer to whine, you can use that computer to communicate, in this case, buying whatever item you are missing online or trading. FE was a limited line, most people knew this and if they didn't they could maybe spend less time whining and more time trying to get hold of what they want.

 

Spilled milk, that's all I see.

If you want these figures so bad, I got one word for ya: eBay!

 

will now tinking about it
hasbro only sold FE toys to TRU
or
DOTM was being overstock in store cusing reatilers not wanting them

 

Meh, if this was 1985, we'd have a real problem.

But it's 2012. We can ALL get these if we really want them. We just have to pay a little extra.

Personally, I'm not sure I'd be all that interested in collecting if the aftermarket prices remained at the MSRP forever. It's nice to have stuff that's "valuable". Sure, it sucks when you miss out at the lowest price, but that's just how collecting is. You miss out, and sometimes prices go up.

 

this is really old already. and lets be honest even if hasbro had released f.e. as the main line theyd still be short packed and chockfull of bb's at 4 to a case and voyagers with 3 primes to a case so youd stilll end up paying higher prices online.

wed still be complaining about too many bb's and not enough bulkheads,arcees,vehicons,and ss so spare me.

 

I manged to get FE Starscream, BB, and Arcee at the nearest TRU store. I did have pre-orders online, which BBTS claimed no one else would, for CJ, Bulkhead, and Prime. Then when they turned those into PRiD pre-orders I cancelled them out. I managed to get lucky and get Takara FE CJ and Bulkhead and even picked up a Vehicon through BBTS. FE Optimus I had to resort to eBay and got him for $80. I know I could have gotten him cheaper, but I'm not even regretting how much I paid because at least I wouldn't have to track them down or risk Hasbro ever putting them back out in the future.

 

I got FE Bumblebee from Big Bad Toy Store about a month ago. Paid about $18 including shipping for him. I also caved and bought FE Bulkhead from eBay for about $96.00 and I don't regret it! I think that may be it as far as FE for me. Too expensive, and to be honest I like what RiD is doing  

 

thanks to coupons, and sales, I paid a grand total of $1.52 for FE Bumblebee, Starscream, and Arcee.  

 

^Seali, I think the OP is not from KL... he's just using some random pic he found I guess. This thread is a dud, IMHO.  

but thanks for backing me.  

 

If I had room, I'd totally wear this quote around for like a year.  

 

haha!

 

...Note to self: posting a thread late at night and seeing how well it goes in the morning is a BAAAAAD idea. lol, more than anything, I just posted this on a whim after seeing $60+ FE Optimus Prime's on eBay and raging.

Seali_me, I live in the U.S just to clear up confusion.

 

THANK YOU!!!

This post needs to be restated whenever possible.

Stop blaming Hasbro for retailer decisions. You don't think they wanted to sell them? Blame retailers for not ordering them!
