Proof? Location?

 

If this is an Asian market thing only, it makes sense, especially with Wheeljack/Que.

If more Wheeljacks are coming out though, that's only a good thing, regardless of where. Hopefully it seriously drives the price down on the Wheeljack's currently up on eBay.

 

Weird, because the movie-accurate "Que" wasn't even slated for the Movie Trilogy line. Although you know, we DON'T need another white Wheeljack on shelves...

I should be excited about this, but...I really want the other Vehicon. I guess I'd pick up a CJ. I already have Arcee. And I'm kind of done with movie toys till the fourth one. Also I think this is still kind of in rumor territory, no offense to anyone.

 

Wow, I was actually really close to pulling the trigger on CJ and the Vehicon on eBay, but now I think I'm going to wait a week or so...

 

Bolded for.emphasis. Hasbro Asia are a separate entity from Hasbro.inc.

 

*does the same*

Well, with me Bee, not yours hah.

Yeah, this + the case Prime assortment not having any flagship characters makes me REALLY doubt that retailers would pick this up right now (in high volumes anyway), even TRU. I mean, I'd love to see these guys surface (namely the FE Vehicon & Cliffjumper so that more people could get it), but it seems a little too good to be trye, especially now that it would conflict with multiple existing lines.  

 

Was hoping (and still hope for one day) leader movie figures with better paint apps ..brawl, megatrons, sentinel, etc..

 

If this is true then Hasbro customer service flat out lied to me. Right when the FE cancellation was announced I emailed them about if they were going to end up at the discount stores. Then they copied and pasted their public apology as a response. I got annoyed and pressed them for a real answer that actually addressed my question. I told them if they did not know the answer offhand they had all the resources needed to find out and get back to me. Finally they said no, the cancellation was final and they would not be released at places like Ross and TJ Maxx. The thread is still there in my account at Hasbro.com.

 

I don't have any proof, you just have to take my word for it

Once, during panel in Cybertron-Con Singapore, the Hasbro Team Flat out saying that the Movie Trilogy Line will be a ASIA EXCLUSIVE line, where they can ship fewer number of a figures, price them higher, and take smaller risks.

FYI, the wholesale price for local online resellers, (like me for instance), is actually higher than your (USA) retail price of 12 usd.

 

Can't wait to see how this develops. Really hope it is the regular movie release of Que and not the repaint/retool. He is the only movie figure I haven't gotten yet that I would like. Would also like a Vehicon since the one I have had on preorder at BBTS has been on preorder for quite a while.

 

*takes a grain of salt* Hmmm....

If true, I'll be ordering a couple more Vehicons.

 

^ What he said.

 

Hasbro's said they've been looking into it since before Botcon though. [since about the time fans started complaining to them about it]

so...the timing doesnt seem like a big deal to me

 

If its true, then the movieverse break ends more early!!

 

The pics that I have been given, is the regular blue one

 

Makes sense, and hopefully it works out on your end because that'll be good news for pretty much everyone involved. I just don't expect any of this to show up in the US or even here in Canada right away, especially not in plentiful amounts.

 

Hopefully it is true...

 

Very interested. Don't really care if it's the FE Vehicon or not -the RID one's scarce enough being one per case, let alone the scalpers. Plus I'd love to get a FE Cliffjumper too.

 

interesting news.

 

That will be awesome. So does it say if the FE's are also Asia releases? Would be nice to get into Que and Vehicon in the $30-40 range each.
