Dear Hasbro:
You have become increasingly incompetent at getting toys out to people who want to buy them. This is unacceptable. If distribution does not become faster and more thorough within the next three months, I will begin destroying every Dark of the Moon toy available for sale in the greater Austin area. Either get new toys out, or be wiped clean from the shelves. Your choice.
Sincerely,
AlanGarou

 

If they're re-released, there's a good chance it'll be with tribal tattoos or battle damage that most of us honestly don't care for.

 

That is a bit dissapointing if true. But I'll live.

 

Oh well, I'm most likely going to be going Cyberverse-only, so this doesn't bother me one bit. Also, before you all get riled up at Hasbro over this, consider that it's most likely the retailers who are at fault. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were disinterested in anything Prime when Hasbro came to them with the FE figures.

 

For some reason or other, i can't say i feel too sorry for anyone who didn't make a reasonable effort to pick up the Voyagers online.

Also, please take us seriously.

FMH indicated that Takara are still doing Zombie Cliffjumper, even if Hasbro aren't. Vehicon V1... Hasbro probably aren't bothering at this stage. I'm guessing the mold was actually ditched early on because
of the kibble, but Takara saw an opportunity and jumped on it.

That's because some people here will clutch at any chance they can to jump on BBTS or TFSource.

 

Yet online stores based in the U.S haven't gottem them yet either. Not for lack of ordering them that's for sure.

 

The RID Vehicon will love to have a word with you on that comment.

Anyway it's really a bummer,but at least I was able to get all of them except the Vehicon which I'm holding out for the RID version,Terrorcon Cliffjummper because I'm fine witht he original,and the TWo pack Optimus and Megatron because I want Megatron as a Voyager at least.

Yes Hasbro's not on the money lately but honestly they are not being trolls over this either. They may just have some serious problem wiht the marketing and they were just trying to fix it. Perhaps one day it'll get better. The upset is understandable but just be grateful that we ARE getting a mainstream line of TFP at all instead of the horrible possiblty of the FE line being the ONLY Prime toyline!

Holy hell dude, calm down and use your head. Like I've already told you in other places, you can't blame Hasbro for retailer's decisions. It's the same thing that happened with Animated, and ultimately the retailers decide what gets put on shelves and what doesn't. There's no reason to make empty threats at a company that's just doing what has to be done.

 

I'm not actually going to destroy anything. Besides, if I were it would be the retailers who lost money, because Hasbro already got their money from the toys when the stores ordered them.

 

Oh well, just move on. Awaiting the RiD line now!

People, the Prime line is supposed to stay for a while, there will be more molds, more Primes, more everything. No need for drama. Unless you do it to make me smile, then please go on.

 

Well, glad I got Starscream, Arcee and Bumblebee FE's along with the NYCC pack.

Would really have liked to grab the Entertainment Pack, but that may not be a possibility now.

 

Precisely. Hell, we already know that two of the molds are already going to be reused in the RiD line. Hasbro won't waste a mold so early in the life of a toyline, hell look at the various Voyager Primes from the movies.

 

If there wasn't a quality difference between the FE and RID line, I think people wouldn't be so disappointed.

Anyway, this news doesn't surprise.

 

This is gonna become another one of those "ZOMG, HASBRO SUXXORZ" threads, isn't it?

 

Could you? I'm in Austin, it would do me a favor. But uh, hold off if you see a Soundwave.  

And yes, BBTS sent a message about FE being pretty limited, and the board rapidly reached a consensus that they were lying to increase their own sales.

 

Tell that to Rumble, Frenzy, the later-wave Animated toys, Movie Soundwave, Deluxe Leadfoot and Movie Que. They've been dropping the ball on a lot of releases lately.

Nah, more of a "destroy the Movie toys" thread if I have anything to say about it.

The Target on MoPac has been getting a lot of Legends Soundwaves at least.

 

Blaming the movie line makes little sense, given that the last figures supposedly in it (HA Soundwave, deluxe Soundwave, Que) haven't shown up at retail either.

 

That sucks.

If this is the case, then why on Earth does Target have the UPC's for the First Edition toys in their system? Maybe they were going to carry them but decided against it?

I'm not going to stop holding out hope as Toy Fair is in two weeks and we might get an update then, but this does lower my hopes to get ahold of even the deluxe FE figures.
