DOTM wave 6 cancelled

WHERE IS MIRAAAAAAAAGE?!

Your really starting to be a jerk HASBRO

+1.

I'm mighty glad I picked up Deluxe Soundwave, Quejack and Leadfoot while I was in Japan!

Makes me wish I'd picked the whole lot up in Japan; all stores had enormous amounts of the deluxes and I'd say were borderline shelf warming.

^This. These toys are fairly common on Japanese shelves so don't pay above RRP for them!! Anyone who's scooping them up and jacking up the prices online are just being jerkwads (and if you pay their stupid prices, then you're just encouraging their doucheness).

Couldn't give a crap! Movie toys are balls. (with one exception)

What are you mad about? At least you got Quejack!

Shame I won't be able to complete my Wreckers, but I was lukewarm about them ever since they made the ball-numbingly daft decision to do some in 'normal' mode and some in 'weapon' mode (despite them ONLY being in 'weapon' mode in the movie). So you made available toys of the 2 least used Wreckers in the movie (Roadbuster had one line, Topspin none) and none for the more memorable of the 3 (Leadfoot had quite a few lines, a distinctive voice and a memorable design, like it or not). Que looked like an alright toy, but neither of the Soundwave figures captured his movie design with any authenticity.

Not getting a Dino toy however is quite disappointing. It was a pretty strong design.

But thanks for saving me some money though, Hasbro. Now I can buy the new Lego X-Wing and TIE I've been thinking about getting, but holding off on because I was waiting for these figures. Wait, what, you thought I was going to save the money to spend on the Non-First Edition Prime Toys that we get lumped with? Oh, you do jest.

Surely at this point we have to assume that its a licensing thing - you can't tell me a bright red Ferrari transformer wouldn't be a big seller

Haha, just went back to recheck to ebay stores that I looked at this morning for HA Soundwave to see if they'd changed their prices - all of them have gone $10 - $30 up in the last 6 hours (these are stores with the set BIN price, not individual auctions)

I'm fairly sure Mattel have an exclusive deal with Ferrari with regards to toys.

The situation still sucks regardless of whether or not one has these toys already or not. I mean, I'm mighty glad I got them - but I'm by no means happy that they won't be available here.

Also... I wants a Mirage! (I hope Paulbot's right and other movie toys get released later on in another line).

I'm fairly sure Mattel have an exclusive deal with Ferrari with regards to toys.

So make him transform into a Not-Ferrari, similar to how ROTF Sideways transforms into a Not-Audi R8 and RtS/United Jazz transform into Not-Porsches.

Heck, we already have a DOTM Mirage toy (but not an action figure) -- Speed Star Mirage, who transforms into an approximation of a Ferrari 458 Italia but not the actual car itself, thus avoiding the licensing thing. So surely this demonstrates that Hasbro could do it if they wanted to... licensing doesn't seem to be an issue. So what's the hold up? GIVE US MIRAGE!!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Somehow I envision you saying that in a cracking, choking voice while briskly pacing about and rubbing your hands nervously while sweating like mad..... better get them online now, while cheap - I just saw DOTM Que on ebay for $100.

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.

[swoop]

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