Transformers Prime: No more First Edition toys!

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
The guys over that the allspark.com had contacted Hasbro directly to find out something new about the Transformers Prime First Edition line up and when the remaining figures would reach the US. Well, it looks like they got their answer and it's not exactly cool.
While we mirror the answer, you can click here to see the original posting.

Hasbro wrote:Prime First Edition was a limited release. Toys R Us stores in each market chose from a variety of assortments available to tease the launch of the 2012 Transformers Prime Robots in Disguise Line.

The main line of Robots in Disguise is the new Prime line for 2012. There are no plans at this time for additional Prime First Edition figures, but if there is a demand for them, we may look at it again in the future.

Well *that* seemed like a waste of money. Create the molds and do a half-assed release, only to release the main line with shitty, different molds? I... don't get it. Here's hoping they revisit that Powerizer Prime mold.

wow. I can't understand this at all. When you release a toy line, I expect to see the market saturated. To walk out and be able to find the toys at Wal Mart, Target, TRU.

These... I never saw them in my STATE. Really puzzled at the half-@$$ed release, and that they'd end the run and move to the other inferior molds almost immediately. :BANG_HEAD:

It's the store's fault, not Hasbro. Hasbro has the figures on offer for retailers, but if retailers don't buy their stock... well, you saw what happened.
Top 5 Priorities: 1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha 2) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor 3) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow) 4) BW Neo D-35 Magmatron 5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also in the market for an Arms Micron Firebolt and Pinpointer.
