I won't even go to Toys R Us, unless they have an exclusive I want. Everything I get now days comes from BBTS or Robotkingdom.com Hasbro should really start looking at this site more than they do to see what the fans have to say. Tell you what Hasbro- just open a new department of people just to look at all the fan-based sites for your toys and come up with ideas and I'll be the first one to turn in an application...... :KREMZEEK:


I can assure you that they check out this site and are well aware of these distribution problems. Not sure what the problem is on their end, but they're aware of the problem.



Don't get me wromg. I'm not really complaining anymore at this point. I'm still getting my favs- I just miss the excitement of running to the toy aisle to see what's there.

See, this makes sense. Tell what that's kind of off topic- I love seeing kids with Transformers packages in their hands- whether it's the movie line or Generations. I love seeing the love for these toys continuing to the next generation.

Editing because other members said I misunderstood and just wanted to apologize and avoid cluttering up the thread any further.

For sale: My entire Transformers and third-party collection. Includes Masterpiece, Generations, Universe, Movie, Prime, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, G1, G2, a few Japanese imports, etc. Many never opened, the rest displayed in enclosed display cases to keep the dust off. A few ads on Craigslist/OfferUp for DC/MD/VA locals, will post on boards or ebay when I have time.

If you want to talk about this topic, do NOT TL;DR THIS.


Counterpunch, I was trying to provide meaningful info directly from Hasbro rather than mere off-the-cuff fan speculation with no factual basis. If you don't find it helpful, then in the future just skip it. Frankly that post was a lot shorter than many of the random rants and image-laden stuff I've seen on these boards.


Pretty sure he was being serious and encouraging people to actually read the info you posted.

My apologies then. Not always familiar with the shorthand lingo on forums.
