Dark of the Moon Robo Fighters Wave 3 Released

Here's a real leftfield sighting from 2005 Boards member Dilbertron. Among the items unreleased at the sudden end of the Dark of the Moon toyline last year were the final two releases in the Robo Fighters subline. Robo Fighters Wave 3 consisted of two redecos, Nightwatch Optimus Prime and Elite Guard Bumblebee. They've never been sighted at US retail - until today, when Dilbertron sighted both at the Greenwood, Indiana Toys R Us.

A case of some random stock in the back room finally making its way into the store months on, perhaps? You be the judge - the question now though, is if we are only seeing these nearly nine months after their original projected release date, what else could be lurking in the depths of the stockroom?

Whoopdee shit. DotM toys let me down immensely with their "release" schedule and canceling all of the best figures before they hit shelves. Just give us more TF: P stuff before ya botch that too, Hasbro. Took what..? Over a full television season just to get THOSE figures on the shelves? God damn, man...

operation: secret trustfund has been been activated, as soundwave might say. one can only wonder what lost toys could be back there. tftm backtrack? terrorcon cliffjumper? the megatron rising set? one can dream.

Is there really even a slight difference between the original and these repaints? These really look like a waste of plastic to me.

These were news? I bought them at a Target probably 8-9 months ago.
Thebricklord
Yeah...I'm gonna go look at the prime news now.

This.

This is not a mystery folks, these were not "unreleased" toys, it's just that no one bothered to report when these came out because of what they are. I bought them last Fall and didn't even think about posting it because they're f'n Robo Fighters. TRU keeps old stock in distro centers and eventually pushes it to stores. remember universe 2.0 vector prime? Same deal here. move along.

This find is not indicative in any way that this will happen.
