TF:Prime 1st edition Officially cancelled for the U.S

**Tober** · 29th January 2012, 11:27 PM

So clue me in here...

Is it really known where to point the finger with the FE screw-up? My impression from what Hasbro has said in the past is that if a toy is carried by exclusively by a retailer it's because none of the others wanted it.

As far as we're concerned, there's nothing stopping Takara or Hasbro releasing reissues into Japan/Asia. Or here for that matter...

didn't hasbro state that the FE were just to entice people into the upcoming new lines?

as for the takara versions, there isn't a need to stop producing them as they're really popular - especially since most people overseas are importing them.

amiami, hlj and the like are all sold out of them and when they get new batches in they're sold out within the day...

This is such a non-issue. As if they won't reuse the moulds.

This is probably true, and I am hoping they will. As we all know, every now & then Hasbro tend to reuse a mould or two.

Still its very disappointing that the FE figures are being withheld from us. The main line don't seem quite as good, especially the Optimus figure. (What is that stupid gun thing all about?)
Suppose i'll be hearing from TFSource within the next couple of days....

Just got my emails from BBTS.com saying my preorder of wave 1.5 has been cancelled and so has my 2 voyagers. No mention of the FE entertainment pack I preordered though. So is that cancelled too?

Is there a link someone can post so I can see the RID moulds?
