    Honestly, if in some alternate universe I was running the company, I'd just either put all the unreleased toys in DOTM packaging(as was done with Universe 2.0 Superion and Bruticus) or hold them in storage and then release them all after the DOTM movie toys finish their run (even if it means I have to put them in new packaging for the next Generations-style toy line). Even if they're technically "old" toys by then, they're still new toys to consumers (since they haven't seen them yet), and I'd want these toys to finally reach mass-market. The figures were made, the molds were cut, the toys were packed, the money was spent, and now just to get them sold I might have to repack them all?!? That would mean more money spent on my part because retailers ordered too much of my first offerings and then only cared about the movie stuff because they knew they could make a mint on it. I'd basically say to them "Look, you got your movie toys, now take these toys I wanted you to sell before the movie, but you didn't. They're all here, ready to go and fill the now-empty shelves." And then I'd ask them why the hell they're suddenly dropping G.I. Joe.

    No US E-tailer has received case assortment information for the RTS Scout waves that would have included the Breacher and Hubcap repaints or Demolition Rumble. Though they have been seen on auction sites with RTS packaging. Demolition Rumble is still on the Hasbro web site.

    It only seems that the RTS Scout wave (Windcharger), RTS Voyagers waves 1 and 2 (Deep Dive, Strafe, Lugnut, and Grappel[sic]) and the last two Generations waves (TC, WJ, and Warpath) have yet to show at the big box retailers.

    The Windcharger and Rumble were high on my list of needs, not wants, needs.

    Oh, and the Bumblebee and Prime are out. I've seen them at the Targets and TRU's my way.

    Phew.. looks like BBTS got their cases in for the scouts. Just got the notice that the box of 12 is joining the POL. Now I have to go and unload the other 10 figures in the box that I don't want :/

    Did you mean this case :

    Scout 2011 Series 01 - Case of 12

    I thought you'd actually found Body Block & Rumble etc.. for a Mo.

    I wish I knew how many they made and where the heck they are ? are they going to disappear forever like the last lot of Hasbro Armada Minicons did that briefly showed up in Hong Kong ?

    You can't even get decent info on them let alone the toys. (Space team repaint/ Adventure team repaint etc...) which were the same sort of thing as the blue Emergency team that did actually come out.

    That's right! You tell 'em Bruce Willis!

    I really do feel like Hasbro doesn't give a shit about people in the States. It's really frustrating how much things go for when scalpers get a hold of them, and toy collecting in America is a vicious feeding frenzy (just ask Hot Wheels collectors, poor bastards). When I go to a Target, TRU, Wal-fart, etc. it's only 10 percent of the time I find a Generations toy, and it's usually one I have already. Thank God I preordered a Thundercracker, or I'd be screwed. Hasbro still has millions of Easy-Bake ovens, Monopoly games, Play-Doh, and NERF guns to make a buttload of money on...

    ...why do they act like they cant make enough Transformers to go around? :puke:

    I don't think 3 weeks is considered a zombie thread.
