No more Generations toys for 2015 in Australia?

[TAAUBlaster]

These puns are so terrible, that I'm gonna go vent about the rumours that we're not gonna get any more Combiner War toys for the rest of the year after Devastator, and I was hoping to finish both Menasor and Defensor (Hopefully Ultra Magnus does get a release here, cause I need him for my collection)

Seriously?

[EDIT] Wait, what email is that? I must've completely missed that post

Great news:

Hi Ryan,



We are terribly sorry that it is sometimes not possible to bring the complete range of Transformers figures into Australia. The situation to date has been that the small size of our market (from a global perspective) has prohibited us from bringing in the complete range of product - from a regular consumer's point of view.



We respect and encourage all feedback from our consumers regarding the Transformers range of product.



We will be bringing in the Deluxe and Voyager waves next year.
Devastator will be available in Big W in June.
We will not be bringing exclusive deluxe or Leader waves at this point.

We have passed on your feedback to the production team and hope that they will keep it in mind for future ideas.

I'd like to thank you for your correspondence, and assure you that we do take on board your concerns.

I hope by next year they mean Financial year, which is just over 3 weeks away.
I really hope it isn't 2016, cause I was looking forward to collecting most of the Combiner Wars figures locally this year.

Why are we all surprised? is the lack of new product actually something different to what we've experienced from Australian retailers in the past?

I too hope that this is what they mean but something tells me it isnt. Although what that means for the franchise in this country for the next six months is beyond me, maybe they will focus on selling 2015 RiD toys?

I think we're surprised because as a collective here we all seem to love the generations/combiner wars line and we let it slip our minds that we live in Australia, the shortchanged capital of the world

Hang on.... Are we reading this as no normal releases for the rest of the year?

I'm reading it as 'not all' instead of 'none'.
I'm an optimist that way.

Retailers getting stuck with shelf warmer Age of extinction toys but wont order up on the awesome combiner wars line. The reason I had to go online to get motormaster and air raid.
