Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

A, try reading the initial post. This has nothing to do with getting toys. It's about profit and disappointment in Hasbro. B, if you're interested in posts about Gas and Taxes, try a different forum or speak with your Congressman.
I agree. Why would someone come to an official TF toy forum and say that toys don't matter?
I never said that. I just said that there are more important things in life than complaining about toys that will sooner or later be clogging the shelves. But the point is moot now since I misunderstood the original post.

So now that we've seen the reports and the signs in the stores about Transformers stock, does everyone believe me now? This was a giant F'up on behalf of Hasbro. It's caused frustration, inflated prices for fans, and has probably cost them millions in sales. Why are they rushing the movie to DVD you ask? Because they want to get it out there at about the same time they finally catch up on their supply issues to generate buzz and demand for the toy again (from the average kid). They have a lot to make up for with the past 6 weeks basically being a disaster for them.

Exactly. It's Hasbro and it sounds like they're finally admitting it-or that the retail chains are tired of being blamed.

They should move some production out of China. Putting all your eggs in one basket is noted to be a bad idea. Especially when that basket cannot properly regulate itself.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Especially when those eggs might be covered in lead paint.

QFT! No reason to keep giving them business when they are

don't you love the excitement and satisfaction you get once you've found that figure you've been looking for, digging through every store..versus grabbing all what you want in one visit to a store?

Nice picture. Seeing all of them together, I really realized that Blackout should have been a leader versus voyager.
