Seriously What is wrong with Hasbro Canada's distribution. We finally got Prime Wave 3 deluxes released like yesterday after like 6 months of waiting. I meanearlier this month we got wave 2 of Prime after waiting 9 months since Wave 1. I mean Spring, Summer, Fall releases never ever show up till right before christmas i mean this happened last year with the generations Wave 6 - 8 figures. we had Wave 5 of that line shelfwarming all year waiting for the later waves. Seriously Hasbro Canada what is wrong with you.
Distribution for us has been a trainwreck except for the FE's, which we can't get rid of. If the last 2 TFCons have been any indication, Canada just isn't much of a priority for them. Nothing you can do but resort to alternate means like middle-manning and buying online.
Or Greece's branch of Hasbro, which is basically the leftovers from Hasbro's UK branch. In all seriousness though, I genuinely feel for you. Anybody remember the entire situation when Wave 01 of RID came out in the UK two weeks before it came out in the US? Two weeks earlier for wave 01 [I think they came out in Canada simultaneously?] and then five months later for wave 02 and 03. Yay we're on a roll!
Better late than never? I'm sure you'd rather have them now than have Beast Hunters stuff show up and never see the likes of Vehicon etc at all
Prime's distribution has been a complete anomaly. Usually, it's not so bad. At worst, we usually just miss the last waves of a given line, because product doesn't move as quickly as it does in the US. The FoC/Generations stuff has so far been coming out as it should. On the flipside, though, Canada seems to wind up as the US' clearing house. So all of a sudden, a year after they've gone AWOL, we tend to find end-of-line stuff at discount prices in surprisingly large numbers. I just found the "Target Exclusive" Human Alliance Leadfoot today for $15, and there was a full case of RTS Wave 1 out as well (Bumblebee, G2 Prime, Jazz, Tracks).
