    Holy poop. UK wins, flawless victory?

    If I see any Windchargers I'll grab them for boardies.

    On another note, glad I ordered United Frumble!!!

    For those of you wondering:

    The UK isn't awash with Windchargers either.


    I hope Hasbro fixes this one...and not just to put an end to the 'Where's my Windcharger?' threads.


    Last time round... was the recolors of Spittor and Airrazor, IIRC.

    Not that we got that many of Windcharger. Mine was still an import.

    I'm so bummed but at the same time relieved. No DOTM toys for me so money saved and at least my 100 toy hunts for these last Generations/RTS lines isat an end. We do get hosed by the movies at times don't we:(

    hear that? that's the sound of UK fans rushing to their local stores to cash in on the panic buying fans.

    actually if you ask in the UK threads I'm sure some of us would be cool with doing trades.

    Fantastic. Now I guess I'll just have to take it up the ass and fork out the money for an overpriced Windcharger online. Just great.

    My guess is they may show up like a year later at TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshalls.

    storage till a buyer is found most likely it will go to cut price stores or it will go to any store willing to take the stock like BBTS since the news is more about retailers backing out till DOTM then the wave being canned

    God damn. That is horse shit.

    Glad I locked in the 6 Legends figures through BBTS. They are sitting all smug on my PC at home right now.

    Just gotta track down those Scouts ASAP.

    EDIT: I just ordered a case of 12 Scouts figures that has Windcharger and Chopsaw in it from BBTS in a fit of paranoia. I hope they get these in!!

    Wow, that blows. I'll have to pass on Windcharger now, since I don't want to pay $50 for a Scout, but I really want Rumble and Frenzy so hopefully I can get a United set for cheap (i.e., less than $80).

    Retailers. Hasbro already made the figures, and they're sitting in the warehouses, waiting to be shipped out to buyers. The buyers cancelled.

    We get screwed all the time, but silently :) 
    I paid a regular retail price for Windcharger in Poland - 17 USD. Now that is more crazy than them being cancelled in the US.

    I knew this would happen. I guess I wil have to be content with Warpath if I can find him.

    Well....eff it then!

    There were only about 3 of them that I wanted but what ev...more money saved for something else.

    Are they canceling Warpath as well? If so then it looks like I'll be done with Hasbro for the "Bay"seeable future.
