RUMOR: Hasbro Releasing First Edition and Movie All Star Figures in Asia
TRA PRIME DELUXE AST (to be released May 28th)
2x Arcee
3x Cliffjumper
3x Vehicon
TRA MOVIE ALL STAR DELUXE ASST (to be released May 21st)
8x Autobot Que
Again, until we see preorders for these items, take this as a grain of salt. Catz is very reliable with his news, so hopefully those who missed out on any of these figures can finally get their hands on them through online retailers. We will find out in the coming weeks and keep you updated here on TFW.

Dear Primus I hope this is true. I'd love to see these on the market again.
Kaymac
Oh hey! I might grab a Cliffjumper. One of my IRL friends has him and I SO JELLY.
Grimlockimus
It might actually be possible, albeit a bit early for such releases, as stores typically will start their summer movie toy resets around that time.
But the Movie stuff is just a bit off to me, I didn't think we got any word about them trying to get those toys out to us as well.

Slightly off topic, but also related; Someone in another tread reported finding FE figures at TJ Maxx/Marshals in the US, they couldn't confirm with pics though.
seeker311
they did say at one of the botcon panels that they were working on releasing as many more FE's as they could in the US
catz
This Month mark the rerelease of FE Bulkheads though, my supplier could give as much as I asked
Secretcode
I really doubt such a big decision would be made so quickly and then sent to retailers in under a week.

I want the mainline Vehicon more than the FE but would still buy the latter at a reasonable price. And I really want a mainline DOTM Soundwave. So I'll be interested to find out if any more comes of this.
seekerblackout
Oh my God I will buy Cliffjumper so hard if this is true. And Arcee and Wheeljack/Q, but less so than Cliff.
Sharktibolt
If you're talking about the Official Ross/TJMaxx/Marshalls thread, the guy only found the Bumblebee blaster, no actual transforming figures. But it does give hope, much like these listings do. 
It's not really a week though. The figures were effectively cancelled back in March or April, right? Could a couple of months be enough time to get something figured out?
EDIT: Found the thread, Hasbro sent out the message that the FE figures were cancelled back at the start of February.

If this is true, then we're getting 3 Vehicons per case.
Three of the inferior FE mold and not the better looking PRID figure.
However, I personally may buy one or two. While it doesn't look as good, having a few of both car vehicons would provide variety and justify army building to a bit, where not all of them look the exact same.
Also; not a SINGLE Bumblebee, the ONE time people might actually want him.

Not even a week since their last word at Botcon.

mrgalvaprime
Well im not a big fan of FE but if they are in RiD packaging i will pick them up
Dr. Prime
I wouldn't get all excited just yet. If you read between the lines at Botcon (yes, I was there) it appears as though they are going to try to get them to us, but there are no guarantees of this. I believe they are genuinely trying, but it may prove to not be that simple.
Sharktibolt
I got that, but I'm just wondering what were their exact words? The live panel feed says getting more FE figures out there was a top priority for them, so I'm just wondering if it's possible they've been trying to figure out how to get them out since February or at least some time before Botcon?

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing how/if this develops.
Reaper Cloud
It wouldn't surprise me if this is true...but I won't hold my breath either.
So far we have seen Robot Kingdom get a surprise shipment of FE Bulkhead, then we see that SDCC will have the FE mold for Cliffjumper in Zombie form...and then two online stores received shipments of the FE Deluxe Entertainment pack.
FE's are slowly coming back...and HOPEFULLY someone at Hasbro noticed how quickly the items sold that were available for pre-order (Bulkhead, Entertainment pack) and went "OH, these do sell still huh..." o_0

Grimlockimus
Somewhere in the world, there's a man screaming as he frantically tries to sell his 100+ FE Vehicons on Ebay for $80.
And sadly, FE Vehicon is the last FE I actually would like ^^"

Seriously, the hell?

FE Bumblebee is still about. (So is Starscream to a lesser extent).
I want these to go to normal retail so that there's not any excuse to inflate the prices by dealers.

Bizarre... If true I'm okay with it, though. Quejack is the one of the few DOTM figs I still want.

Apparently, early on in the Armada line he was a complete case to himself, 8 per, just like Que. I think people were still finding the original version of that figure by the time Energon rolled around. I am not certain about this, though.

Seems sort of dumb to release full cases of him. I just don't think there will be that much demand. Sure people here want him but once we get our fill, who will be the rest? Its not like he was the top character in the movie.
BTW: Where is the OP located & where will these figures get released?

Yeah, definitely gonna grab a Cliff and a buncha Vehicons.

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.

Anguirus
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.

Wheeljack_Prime
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...

*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..
Composite Ghost
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.
