Transformers Venting thread!

A Hasbro AU rep once told me that they did offer TFP FE to retailers and even showed sample toys to retail purchasers, but none of them picked it up. So apparently the problem wasn't so much about Hasbro not wanting to release the toys here, but a lack of interest from retailers in selling them.

An interesting point. Who was in FE? Prime, Megatron, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumble, Vehicon, Starcream? I cant remember all of them.
What would the buyers have thought when Hasbro said the next few waves will contain all of those same figures plus more under one banner?

And Cliffjumper. Optimus Prime was available as both a Deluxe (in vs set w/ Megatron) and stand alone Voyager.

<shrugs> no idea.

Glad they've resolved that Myer issue, Goktimus

From BBTS' FB page regarding Blitzwing/Springer:
We received an initial shipment however are still awaiting the rest of our order. We anticipate them to be arriving later this month.
...so it may very well be June before I see 'em.

This one’s probably going to sound like such a noob effort but I am having all sorts of trouble transforming my moofie Bumblebee (Camaro concept) back into car mode. The bonnet panels are basically not budging to allow me to line it up and therefore I cannot get his shoulders / tires pushed back in. Someone... PLEASE HELP! I spent about an hour and a half on this last night and it's frustrating the crap outta me

You are not the only one. WFC Bumblebee frustrates me to no end as to how it transforms.

All sorted. Just had to use a fair bit of force to get everything to line up. I hadn't transformed this figure in years but surely that would not be a reason why it was so stiff Anyway, he's remaining in car mode now.
