Hi Folks, I don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but i received an e-mail from U-Toys in Singapore that they will start shipping some Revenge of the Fallen Toys in mid-march. See below 1. Item description: Hasbro Transformers Movie 2 Voyager Class - Demolishor Estimate arrival date: Mid Mar 2009 2. Item description: Hasbro Transformers Movie 2 Voyager Class - Optimus Prime Estimate arrival date: Mid Mar 2009 3. Item description: Hasbro Transformers Movie 2 Cannon Blast Megatron Estimate arrival date: Mid Mar 2009 4. Item description: Hasbro Transformers Movie 2 Electro Whip Jolt Estimate arrival date: Mid Mar 2009 So are these "official releases" or otherwise. You decide! Either way looks like the lucky folks in Singapore will get their hands on these first from a non-ebay source.
not that hard to understand man those are probably part of the preview wave either that or some lines got crossed somewhere if thats true then im seriously fucked I still dont have Cyclonus, Hound, Dinobot, Smokescreen, Samurai Prowl,, Safeguard Inferno, Ratchet or Hot Shot *sigh*
Yeah. Ditto. Ive been on a guilt-TFs buying and binge spending trip/ Recent Suff bought: 1 X Henkei Ratchet 1 X e-Hobby Black Megs! (dont ask......) 1x Vibrant Red Alternity Prime 1 X C-77 Takara Reissue Rodimus Convoy (got it "cheap" off BBTS) Total spending = US$ 195.00 ...and counting.... so umm yeah/ sigh.
A toy in singapore selling any transformer toy two months before release date is very normal. It in no way impacts the U.S. street date. Even if the rotf figures start shipping in march they still have to go the big retailer distribution centers and be reshipped to the actual stores. Rotf will probably hit stores in april to give them time to stock up before putting them out for sale in may
Singapore got a Universe version of the Bruticus and Superion Boxed set but America seems to be getting the same product but in ROTF packaging - so that is perhaps one reason they got them early - it makes more sense for them to be classics toys anyway as it matches the pre-existing Devastator set already produced as a Classics toy some years back.
To those of you in the U.S. Go to your nearest K-Marts come april, chances are they'll put ROTF figs out to the shelves already. but Mid-March? naaah don't think so.
