So...how about that Trilogy Line?

Okay, when I first heard about Soundwave, Que, and deluxe leadfoot coming to retail, The specific date was in December. December rolls around, and they say it's been pushed back 'till February. Well, It's February, and in between the constant flood of TF: Prime and FOC Combaticons, I havn't heard a single thing. If anyone knows a thing about when the Trilogy line will be released, please let me know. A few weeks ago I was discussing this, and it sounded like something that was indeed a reality. now, not so much? I hope this isn't the whole TF Animated Fiasco all over again...
hence the happy dance!

I think they got sucked into the same black hole as the Prime FE's...

The NY Toy Fair is this weekend, so perhaps some light will be shed on it then.

Deluxe Leadfoot is a Target exclusive, so there's still hope of him coming to retail. As for Soundwave and Que, either Hasbro is going to push the Trilogy line's release further into the future so they can be released (not likely), or not release them at all(VERY likely :-x ).

I can do without Que, but I actually NEED deluxe Leadfoot and Soundwave. I just can't wrap my head around why Soundwave wasn't in one of the initial waves.

Or they might directly hit discount stores. Just like those RTS voyagers. #-o

You could write to Hasbro and ask them, but I think I already know what they'll say:
Thank you for contacting Hasbro Customer Service.

As we greatly value our TRANSFORMERS fans and consumers, we appreciate the opportunity to clarify and explain the current situation with TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition Trilogy figure availability in the U.S.

We very much apologize for the miscommunication with our great retailers in the U.S. Regrettably, as a result, the TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition Trilogy figures were posted for pre-sale in error. Final product was not produced for these figures to ship within the U.S. As such, any consumer who placed a pre-sale order with Big Bad Toy Store or Entertainment Earth in the U.S. received a note that their order had been cancelled and these orders will not be fulfilled. While it is common for Hasbro to cancel production and/or shipment of collectible figures prior to being listed for pre-sale, this particular situation was unique. We deeply regret this circumstance and understand your frustration.

We would also like to express that we hear the fan community in the U.S. loud and clear - you want these specific TRANSFORMERS PRIME First Edition Trilogy figures. While we can’t confirm anything at this time, and the format in which these figures are packaged and distributed may change, the team is looking into ways to make these available at a later date in the U.S. and will keep the fan community and our retailers posted as opportunities develop. We want to make this right, and making these figures available to the U.S. fans is a top priority for the team. We greatly appreciate your understanding and ongoing enthusiasm for the brand and hope in the mean time, you enjoy the TRANSFORMERS PRIME DOTM figures that are hitting warming shelves now and in the coming weeks.

Regards,

The TRANSFORMERS Team

Probably to keep his alt's identity secret, it was a major plot twist in the movie after all. Why wait until February is beyond me, though. And why the Legion got released but not the Deluxe/HA is a real puzzler.

At this point I expect Hasbro to completely skip over this last wave and go straight to the repaints. I'd love to be wrong (I do want that BLUE Que), but we'll have to see what this weekend brings...

Keep this in mind as a back up. I had to go this route.
