    You know I could list the myriad of reasons why you need to chill out about Hasbro and it's treatment of the US market... but it's all been stated before and it won't change your mind. If you really think Hasbro treats the US market like the proverbial red headed step child, then move on to something else.

    I I I, Me me me. That's all this post seems to be about.

    Think of people in Europe who get far, far shittier distribution of toys.

    Think of us here in Australasia who get get most things but at increased prices.

    Just because YOU don't get what you want, when you want, doesn't mean that Hasbro is shit. How many times does the story about retailers not wanting stock = Hasbro can't get stock on shelves have to appear before people listen?!

    You can't be serious! How about visiting Europe sometime, especially the eastern countries, and have a look at what is on our toy shelves. Mere fraction of what you get in US. Oh wait, check the prices - cyberverse play sets for 27 EUR, deluxes for 21 EUR, voyagers for 36-38 EUR, leaders 60-68 EUR... HFTD Soundwave & Bumblebee 2-pack for 50 EUR... Oh dear, just come here and I will show you a store where they still carry ROTF supreme Devastator for 130 EUR.
    And you can guess just how much we earn here so every toy purchase involves great sacrifice.

    After you do the tour, then talk crap. If you want a Windcharger, just send me a PM. They are being sold for 15 EUR (that's the new price for scouts), shipping to US will be 7,30 EUR + 0,50 EUR for packaging.

    Wow. It's guys like you that make me question even being on this site. It's an OPINION. It's how someone feels, you know, feelings? Even Transformers have feelings, so you should be able to understand.

    You may not have it perfect, but you have it a lot better than TF collectors in pretty much any other country on the planet.

    It's not hasbro. It's the stores. This was completely proven by unopened boxes making their way to ross, tj maxx and marshalls. Rocket science this isn't.

    For a moment there.....you just sounded like Yoda :D 

    But yeah I agree....some of us have been lucky to find Windchargers and Grapples. I may go on the search again today just to see what I can find :)  Anyone looking for anything, pm me soon......I won't be online for most of the morning after I get off of work:D 

    Well, people are letting you know how they feel too. Honestly, I think you're over-reacting. If it wasn't for me talking to department managers in some stores and a local Hasbro rep to find out whats going on (albeit some of them had no clue), I wouldn't know what's going on, I'd be disappointed myself, but I wouldn't "hate" Hasbro just because I can't find a toy I want. Honestly you can't really blame Hasbro. For example, several Walmarts in my area shrunk their toy department. That's right! They made it SMALLER. Said they would only carry "certain" stock and get rid of others that they'd have in inventory. Which means, they can't order as much stuff as they "used to." This also means, some lines....they won't order anymore either. Hasbro made these toys. Its up to the stores to carry them. Hasbro can't tell the stores "hey you need to carry these figures!" If you can't find them anymore at your local Target or Walmart.....don't blame Hasbro....blame the stores (or the manager at the stores that made the decision to shrink down their toy department)! At the very least, stores like TJ Maxx and Ross are carrying the RTS figures now....to a degree.

    It's just my OPINION that you act like a bloody fool right now! It's how I feel about you, you know, feelings? It doesn't mean that it has to be backed up by fact, that's why it is an opinion! It could be factually wrong entirely, and it could clash with everyone else's opinion, but hey, it's MY OPINION!

    You need thicker skin. Motor_Master wasn't trolling you. If you think that was trolling, well, your comments already prove your perception of things are a bit off base.

    So it's ok for you to talk shit about Hasbro - shit that's wrong, actually - , but not ok for people to call you out on it? Butt hurt much?

    FYI I'm sure the site MODS will give you a full refund if you are unhappy about other people's opinion.

    MOD says don't pass go, don't collect $200.

    Seriously, no need to bump up the thread just to complain about distribution especially when it has been independently confirmed by Hasbro and people in the stores that the stores themselves were not buying.

    But there's no need to be so condescending either toward one person who feels hard done by that they shouldn't feel bad because the rest of the world has it bad. Because it is their opinion, for good or for ill. Even if I agree that the US has it better than we do.
