I would still love to hear an official explanation for why they discontinued the Prime figures that WERE released in the USA (but, apparently, nowhere near me)and are replacing them with the new ones. Doesn't make sense to me. The molds for the other ones were already made and paid for, why not continue using them?

The only way hasbro has ever re-released a figure has always been a stupid repaint or a freaking Bumblebee mold :BOOM:

If they actually..somehow did manage to get us figures, I would be gracious for the opportunity and reward them with buying a Bulkhead figure as well as my previously only-interested-in Optimus figure. I don't even care if they came in boxes, a damn plastic shopping bag would suit me fine.

That's if anything were to ever come of it. Which I'm less than sure of.

Ah hell, if they released him again, I'm sure I'd even be willing to spring for 2 Primes.

This explanation doesn't quite cut it. It's not a straight answer. Still smells like BS to me. >:oP

I'm sure we'll hear more about the availability of those two soon, to coincide with the release of DOTM Voyager Prime w/Trailer. So, under the "Movie Trilogy" banner...?

Here what I dont understand...

Hasbro is known to repaint a figure 4 million times right?

All they had to do was to release the FE figure as wave 1 and any figures after that, (Axe Club CJ, B.M.F Gun Arcee, Back Heavy Voyager Prime) as repaints.

Easy Fix.

I cant believe they are letting the rest of the world sell us figure for 4 times amount of it and letting them profit off of them even tho that could have been money in the company pockets instead.

Hm. It is "nice" of Hasbro to reply to fandom is some way, even if they don't really care or plan to do anything about it.

Could they be on the road to redemption? :grin:
