Shared Exclusive Minicon and Scout Sets Listed at BBTS

After the disappointment of finding out that the Generations Arcee we were supposed to get is probably just going to be a boring Transformers Prime figure that looks nothing like Arcee, I now find myself thinking that the Dinobots set that a few senior members of Seibertron have teased us about could well be these Minicon/Scouts and not the glorious sounding G1 reissue box set I had thought....If it's the case then I'm seriously disappointed.

I suppose the moral of the story is don't believe every rumour you hear, especially if it sounds too good to be true!
A G1 Arcee and a G1 Dinobots giftset? The more I think about it the more unlikely it sounds.
Oh well HasTak, would you at least be kind enough to give us a Galvatron Masterpiece?
On the upside this year is suddenly looking around $100 cheaper

Buy or not to buy... hmmm, Need to see robot modes before hand,Very disapointed in SIZE i would have been fine with delux dinobots, but minicon? there gonna have to look REALY good,and as for the rest i dont want them anyway.

And why is there a sabertooth tiger instead of Sludge???

I want the Dinobots, and that Backstop repaint is kinda cool too.

Preordered all of them, but these should probably show up at Family Dollar, Dollar General, Big Lots, etc.

Why throw a sabertooth in there? Bah, just leave it at the three that were actually dinosaurs. Good to see Hasbro finally thought of a (fairly obvious) way to name Slag as Slag though.

If you see a Wreckloose reissue, get him. He's a clever little figure, one of those golden nuggets of Cybertron era that slipped by a lot of people because he's a non-screen character.

Ah, too bad there's no elephant/mammoth minicon. Then you could make a Power Rangers minicons set.

I would have to say no need to preorder these things. Most of this stuff will clutter the discount shelves on my local Wal-Mart. Then I will stock up on them, paint them into a color matched army and march them onto my shelves to collect dust.

It's only a guess and maybe I'm wrong, but these being called shared exclusives says to me they will be online retailers only, like the Seacons. These should be neat.

We reported on February 9th, 2011 that site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store would be selling shared exclusive Minicon and Scout sets. See the original news post here. Unfortunately, today, they emailed customers who had preordered these figures letting them know that they have been cancelled by Hasbro.

Hi - Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.

Thanks

It is unknown if Hasbro will re-solicit these items at a later date.

I can live with this. The Dinobot mini-con figs were a total tease anyway. They deserve proper Classics toys and Commemorative Reissues (cost be damned!).
