Unicron at Zing/EB Games

[reillyd]

Don't broadcast this, but the release here is VERY VERY VERY soon... but something needs to happen first before it can be announced and they are shipped out to stores.
(when EB Games makes the announcement, I am allowed to talk more about it)

Let me guess. Hasbro is weighting for the cheque to clear before shipping it, because parent company Gamestop is having ?cashflow? problems?
A high value product like this Hasbro might want the money up front, lol

What is a better investment - Unicron or GameStop stock?

(This joke)

Excited for everyone getting sphere-o, very cool but just too large for me. Sometimes I even think about getting rid of ER Scorponok, poor dude doesn't fit anywhere.

...and Hasbro is shipping the US orders now.

SO.... can "the thing" be revealed yet Griffin?

I believe Griffin is referring to the ?companion piece? that will shortly, but has not yet, been announced on HasbroPulse.
There?s an interview with Ben Montano, Senior Brand Manager for Transformers where it is discussed, but has not been ?officially? announced.


Update: 19:25-19:40 for those who don?t want to watch the whole thing. You can also see just before then the stand, and that extra pegs have been added.

I thought that was more items with future figures... like prime with centurion. Looks like Galvatron comes with his ship, doubling as a gun

Griffin's wording makes it seem to me that EB will be making some announcement, not Hasbro, which pretty-much rules out any Hasbro product announcements.

Wild guess - EB is going to function as Australia's version of Pulse, in line with the UK getting a branch.

Don't get too worked up people, as it isn't something that exciting.
I just wanted people to keep an eye out for some important announcements soon that should be coming from EB Games... especially if your store doesn't contact you within a couple days of other people saying that they were now picking up theirs.

[Thurmus]

I saw an item where units are now shipping directly from Hasbro in the US and some people have received notifications they are on the way. Most likely this news correlates with Griffin's.

I called my store today and they said it’s expected on the 30th and that I’ll receive a text the day before it comes in. They said if they don’t hear from me in about a week they will give me a call.
