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.

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.

I'm happy I managed to assure at least the optimus, bulkhead and cliffjumper FE, which I did after seeing the fugly CJ version of the Prime - RID line... don't know about the others, meaning stars, arcee and bbb but don't care that much 'bout them loke in these others, not by now anyways.

Yay, glad I managed to grab hold of Starscream!

Need to find out what happened to Optimus..

[gothsaurus]

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.

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.

So what dose this mean for the people who pre ordered the voyagers.

[SlyTF1]

What the hell? So the Voyagers and the Deluxes we never got aren't coming to the US?
