"Im a fan, not a stockholder." -Such an epic quote that I completely agree with. I will always gladly give my money to whomever makes what I want.

I also think it is AWESOME that people have the balls to ask about 3rd party products, just like I think it will be AWESOME if/when someone asks Hasbro to their face what the hell the deal was with the first edition shit storm. I don't care if they get mad, nor should anyone. They aren't little kids. They are running a business (badly by us), and should know that.

My guess is they are smoking the packaging of the later DOTM waves that the distributors wouldn't buy due to poor sales, hence making it unlikely they would buy any new waves of the same line.

At least they admitted in a roundabout way that the DotM line was a missed opportunity. It would cost me over $150 to get deluxe Soundwave, Que, and Leadfoot, which is impossible for me. Here's hoping that these figures see an eventual US release and that they get the next movie line right.

I'm sure they'll make their way to BBTS and eBay.

While I don't disagree that Hasbro has missed some opportunities to create some product consumers have been wanting, there seems to be some confusion here and in this hobby in general.

3rd Parties are not the heroic protectors of Transformers from your childhood.

They do not care to give you the toys you dream of, only the ones you will pay for.

To suggest that they maintain some moral highground vs Hasbro is well... retarded.

Are they more selective and focused on each release? Ofourse, they release one figure at a time.

And to the collectors that want more movie stuff: I would suggest a little patience. Certainly some of these figures will be re-released or repackaged or reused soon or for the next movie line. The movies aesthetic is not going anywhere.

I don't think anyone is claiming that 3rd parties are the "heroic protectors of transformers from our childhood". THAT is retarded. They absolutely care to give us the toys we dream of, because those ARE the toys we will pay for. People wanted a classics Devastator done right, and they are willing to pay $600 for him! Anyone who is bringing morality into the 3rd party argument is delusional. It is purely business. Maybe it's morally questionable, but I hold no loyalty to any company, nor will I ever. They are after one thing, and I am after one thing. Plain and simple.
