    I understand delaying orders until there's more stock available. That's what happened with the coneheads two pack for me, and I ordered that pack a little late. That's fine with me.

    Cancelling the orders, though, so I need to go back into fighting with everyone else to get one if the go back in stock for five minutes again? What the fuck? That's horrible.

    Ok what? Amazon went from saying that my Ironhide/prowl set was delayed and no idea when it would be available, to sending me a SHIPPING notice in less than 24 hours.......

    You know that's not a thing, right?

    1) Petitions don't change the practices of large scale companies.
    2) "These companies" don't lose any money
    3) I hate to tell you this, but Transformers sales alone will not impact whether Target and Walmart will live on for five more years.

    My Galactic Odyssey Collection Paradron Medics 2-Pack has been cancelled. With everyone's order being cancelled do they even have any of them? Did a boat sink that had all of them? Where the hell did they all go?

    Medics were “arriving Dec 2”, and the AA set “expected Dec 4”. Not shipped yet, so just waiting for the cancellation to drop on that one.

    I got my Medic Set, but no Ironhide/Prowl. Seems it's just luck of the draw who gets what...

    I received the Medics set earlier in the week but got the dreaded "do you still want this item" email regarding Ironhide/Prowl. It now has no estimated arrival date... just like the Ramjet/Dirge set I ordered and have still yet to receive. How is it possible these companies can't manage a PO correctly? Their incompetence is astounding.

    Once again, much like my ER Trailbreakers, Amazon shipped my ER Sunstreakers in a thinly padded envelope. Although this time they were not horribly smashed. Did they run out of boxes? I wish there was a way to request a box during the order process. I've tried marking things as gifts but it doesnt always work. It would save Amazon money in the long run, because half the time I have to return badly smashed items for refund. Just send it in a dang box in the first place.

    I think I took the L for 2020 for quite sometime now. I'm not even upset, just numb about everything and waiting for 2021 and beyond.

    Think eventually Hasbro will make it right with the coneheads, ironhide, ratchet sets, by eventually offering it through all fan channels? Guess it would be like a year+ from now, if it even happens.

    A: It's adorable that you think an online petition would change anything.
    B: it's also not for you to decide how others spend their money. If someone wants to buy two or more sets or figures that's their right.

    Although I do think it would be better if Hasbro stopped releasing these core figures that they know everyone wants for their collections as exclusives. Make the nobody/C-list characters exclusives and release the main characters in the main line at mass retail and this whole situation gets a lot better.

    I pre-ordered the AA set on September 18. I forget what the original ship date was, but when the date happened, I got an email regarding a new estimated delivery date (Dec. 11- Dec. 29 - quite a range). Meanwhile several people were getting their pre-orders delivered that week. I was like, whats the point of a pre-order if you cant deliver on release day? You do it with books and movies, not exclusive toys? Anyway, my order is still in there, so fingers crossed they will deliver. I waited too long to order the Medic set and missed it. When it didnt sell out right away and the AA did, I thought I had more time (financial reasons).

    Charged for the medics days ago, but marked as arriving the 10th through the 15th, and hasn't shipped yet.

    This should be interesting after all these cancellations.
