Generations(FOC) Voyager Wave 2 Skipped for Aus

The shame of this is that Blaster and his discs are actually superior (IMHO) to the Soundwave and co releases. The colour, body shape etc suit Blaster so much better than Soundwave, and Eject and Rewind are heaps more 'nostalgia' inducing than Frenzy and Rumble.

I gave up buying locally a loooong time ago. Anything 'essential' to my collection I order online, the only local releases I get are random impulse buys. And I'm pretty sure Hasbro as a whole don't give a crap where the $$$ come from.

Interested to see what happens with Metroplex however.

There's not much point blaming Hasbro Australia for decisions made by retailers... etc...

Plus Grimlock is probably cheaper through eBay anyway.

So glad I bought Grimlock online now. Demonac told me that might be the case. Well I guess it's time to look for new deals online. Shipping is always the issue though, oh well.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY???

I waited all this time just to get FOC Grimlock and NOW they tell us they're SKIPPING Australia? F**k you, Aus HasBLOW!

I'm not as annoyed as the fact that basically all we're getting this year of Major interest is the Platinum Stuff, Metroplex, the MPs and the not-so interesting to me, Wrecker wave (retools).

That's basically it... :mad:

This. If i see anything at work i'm always comparing import prices.
IIRC, Last i checked their International profit was +7% while their Domestic was -15%.

That's right folks. Retail doesn't care about you.
Could've been a much larger problem if our dollar wasn't so strong.
