Oh, FFS! Just when you think Hasbro cannot become any more inept, they turn themselves into a toy company that doesn't actually produce toys!
Not encouraging news by Hasbro
Indeed! I was wondering if this was going to happen. Its happened before and will happen again. Glad I never bothered collecting the deluxes. I wonder if this will repeat with the voyagers including Roadbuster and co. ?Quote:

I think they assume that fans will be expectant of such delays from Hasbro.
I got an email saying that Rattrap, Tankor and Crosscut have been delayed as Hasbro has decided to release them in different waves. They don't know when Crosscut will come out now, and Rattrap and Tankor are to come out in June.Quote:

Glad I got my BBTS order shipped earlier this month and didn't bother to wait for this wave to arrive in April like it was supposed to :rolleyes:
It's just a delay, not a cancelation. You will get these toys. So stop acting like it's the end of the world.:D
I'm allowed to be cranky. I've been waiting for three individual figures (released in different assortments) since November 2013, and I'm yet to get my hands on any of them - and won't be anytime soon by the sounds of it.
Other fans have been able to enjoy the offerings of the Generations line for months now, but I've had to wait and wait and wait... I'm sick of waiting.
Looks like it's a June, or in BBTS' case a May 2017 PoL. Moving along now ;)
I thought it'd be a month or two later. Anytime after the Age of Extinction merch circus has run it's course.
I'm glad they have been delayed. Prefer them to be spread out over the course of a year. Not all at once. I appreciate what I do own better. AOE figures will be out in less than a month which is brilliant...can't wait to get my hands on some Dinobots!:)
...been waiting 28 years for Arcee :p
Maybe this delay might improve the chances of these toys seeing a local Aussie release <shrugs> :/
Considering we haven't even seen images of Arcee and Chromia yet, I'm not surprised they've been delayed. It's probably a good thing as it gives the movie stock time to get in and move a bit, rather than expecting retailers to be able to distinguish between two different lines and end up with them not ordering the other Generations stuff.
There is obviously a second "series" of non-movie Generations toys in the pipeline. We have also heard rumours of a leader Megatron which we haven't seen yet. It seems to me like Hasbro are just pushing those toys which should have made it out in Q1 this year but didn't because retailers were holding back for the movie into the second half of the Generations line.
I'm in the EXACT same boat Verno, no email or anything so this is the first I've heard of the delay. Irritatingly I have been sitting on my POL for a month waiting for Rattrap. :mad:Quote:

Bbts probably haven't emailed you because you two didn't preorder the set of three. Your order of rattrap still stands it's just been pushed back. It sucks I know.
Tankor, rattrap and crosscut were all due to be packed with the dark cybertron crossover so I feel sorry for the people collecting the crossover that way
I pre-ordered both waves, but didn't get an email for either one.
Wouldn't be the first time a mass email didn't reach everyone. I'm not going to say check your spam folder because I'm guessing you guys already did. I had a problem with Gmail not allowing EB Games to email me at all last year. The messages didn't even make it to my spam folder, they got killed before they reached me.
I can understand two - one to open, one to display. But why a third Waspy? Takara version?Quote:

That makes a whole lot of sense, especially for a really hard or time consuming transformation. Sorry to hear you're waiting on the 1st AzraelQuote:

(moved posts to new topic, to make it obvious that all five are delayed)
Robotkingdom have listed Rattrap and Tankor as "AVAILABLE NOW"
Rattrap looks good, from what I can see. The back kibble isn't too great, but he looks to be generally well-balanced. Love the look of the rat feet folding into the robot feet.
That reminds me, I still need to get Rhinox.
I just saw:

There's also a Legends 2 that is the original optimus primal but with a new ape face.

RK still have the older versions of 'Apebot'. So assume these are 'shelf warming monkey crap'?:rolleyes:
