DOTM wave 6 cancelled

[GoktimusPrime]

Aren't we getting a legends class movie mirage in prime?

I'd prefer a Deluxe, but I'll certainly take a Legions Class over nothing!

I'd say that there's a good chance we will end up with a mirage toy either during generations or when the next movie is made.

I sure hope so.

WHERE IS MIRAAAAAAAAGE?!

It's mirage Gok, think about it?

That they will. Get 'em while you can.
I was impulsively buying them last week, telling myself that I should really wait for their release to America or here, to bring down the prices. Lucky I didn't listen to the "voice of reason" telling me not to spend my money.

yeah I kinda went "looking" on some online stores now for those 3 figures only... oh and there are medications to "stop" them voices bossbot in 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s and 100s hehehehehe

Really?
I might have to pick one up next weekend then, I was waiting on a sale but I do want one.
Wish my contract didn't stipulate no money-making side ventures, between these guys, Mandarake finds and the Prime FE toys I could be making a killing....from the aforementioned whiny Americans, I hasten to add. We Aussies already get ripped off enough IMO.

Yup, I put in my search DOTM Que and there was only 1 listed - for a hundred US $. With the figure sold out in online store listings like BBTS... you would indeed make a killing, selling it online. Would they know if you sold some though, you know just as a "hobby" in your spare time? I for one am after a cheap Que, so Im certainly not paying that exorbitant price at all.

With luck though, supplies from Hasbro HK and other Asian branches floods out with these later on since the US market cancelled it and I find one back in Phils when I go on holidays next year. There's usually one odd figure hiding among the shelves dusting away in one of them hobby shops hehehehe

Somehow I envision you saying that in a cracking, choking voice while briskly pacing about and rubbing your hands nervously while sweating like mad.....

Why, whatever gave you that impression?

I purchased Leadfoot & Que (as well as Vehicon & Windy/Wipeout) from this person. He still has heaps of Leadfoot left (now $5 more), and said that he would refund a combined shipping purchase if you ask first. (the items need to be paid for immediately, so you can't get a combined quote first - I haven't had a refund yet either)
No Ques left though.

And this guy is where I got Dlx Soundwave, he still has heaps (Hasbro Taiwan versions) but has also bumped up the price by $4.

thanks for the links griffin much appreciated

c'mon soundy!

[Doubledealer]

Haven't we learnt from past experience that prematurely cancelling toy lines is what Hasbro does best? I think it's fortunate that people can acquire these last few toys at all!

[Lord_Zed]

No Soundwave doh! My trust for Hasbro is at a low.

you have to be having a crack at us Hasbro!!! first you don't even have the common sense to finish the movie line here in Australia.and now the lines are cancelled. then you expect us to wait for some crap line of movie/animated line re-release and then market them as a new series and then expect us to shell out huge dollars for them. and then you will probably then cancel that line as well when you decide that it is no longer profitable to continue that line even if other countries have to be missed. come on .... i was so waiting for the rest of the movie line to be released here and to finish my collection.. i can just add one thing, THIS SUCKS!

[griffin]

People shouldn't be surprised by this for two reasons.

1 - it has happened with almost every series before.... because...

2 - toy companies aren't going to end a series while it is successful. They're going to keep milking it for as long as it is profitable, usually in 12-month blocks (to cover their annual Toyfair cycle). But if a series suddenly fails or sales don't hold out for the entire 12 months, they're not going to keep producing the rest of line at a loss. Especially if retailers have stopped buying from them.
It's annoying for being a tease to us collectors, seeing what they had planned for that next cycle, but that's just the way the retailing environment works - producers offer their next year's worth of product in advance, and if it sells well, we get to see the whole range produced by the factories. If not, they stop whatever they were making at the time (creating limited edition figures that are hard to find) and cancel the production of the following figures.
It sucks, and I hate it as a completist collector, but realistically it'd be stupid for Hasbro to produce items now at a loss, when they can put it off until later if it has a better chance of selling in another line. (like they are doing with the Movie Mirage & Evac Legion toys, being in TFPrime packaging)

I'm confused... we're all supposed to hate the movies but we get angry when the toy line is prematurely cancelled Grrrrr Hasbro (did I get that right?)
