JP 'Unite' Optimus and Megatron release pushed back.

Looks like the interest in Movie toys could be shrinking even faster than TT even imagined, as they appear to have shelved/cancelled the Unite for the Universe Optimus (with the Jetfire armour) and Megatron (premium edition).

It is suggested that if the Jetfire parts had already the mould stage, there is a good chance we could see them released eventually - maybe leading up to the third movie as interest picks up again.

I would have liked the Jetfire parts. But since we know a newer Voyager mould of Prime is coming (the downscaled Leader mould), I have been much less excited with the 'Unite' Optimus.

Megatron would be kind of nice if they had painted him a proper metalic colour, which didn't seem to be the case. And I agree the new Voyager size Prime should make the old one a little obselete. So no great loss.

Apparently, they are just delayed until August-September instead of being released in June.

That's great! I wouldn't mind getting these.
