Generations(FOC) Voyager Wave 2 Skipped for Aus

[VERT]

What gets me with Hasbro is what they do release. Take Prime. Last year we had wave 1 warming the shelves all year. Bee, Wheeljack, Soundwave. So what do they release for wave one of Beast Hunters. A retooled Bee, Wheeljack and Soundwave. Good job Hasbro well done.

I thought for certain we were going to get them because they were pictured at Toyfair...My FOC Display is going to look lame now without Grimlock.

Just goes to show what they need is an injection of new characters, not more Primes or Bumblebees

+1000000!

Yep - the only thing is it will make saving for the new Generations easier - got no interest in buying the same toys again but with a pretty make-over

You and I are looking at different toys, obviously

The Beast Hunters retools are some of the most god-ugly things released since G2...

The shame of this is that Blaster and his discs are actually superior (IMHO) to the Soundwave and co releases. The colour, body shape etc suit Blaster so much better than Soundwave, and Eject and Rewind are heaps more 'nostalgia' inducing than Frenzy and Rumble.

I gave up buying locally a loooong time ago. Anything 'essential' to my collection I order online, the only local releases I get are random impulse buys. And I'm pretty sure Hasbro as a whole don't give a crap where the $$$ come from.

Interested to see what happens with Metroplex however.

There's not much point blaming Hasbro Australia for decisions made by retailers... etc...

Plus Grimlock is probably cheaper through eBay anyway.

So glad I bought Grimlock online now. Demonac told me that might be the case. Well I guess it's time to look for new deals online. Shipping is always the issue though, oh well.

This. If i see anything at work i'm always comparing import prices.
IIRC, Last i checked their International profit was +7% while their Domestic was -15%.

That's right folks. Retail doesn't care about you.
Could've been a much larger problem if our dollar wasn't so strong.
