Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

The franchise is as profitable as ever, which makes it more mind boggling that retailers, or perhaps Hasbro, are unable to find ways to get product to US consumers.
Mattycollector.com is a prime example of how to do things, and as many people have said, its doubly confusing as to why Hasbro can't or won't sell through Hasbrotoyshop.
I know they're just toys, and not a single one of us actually NEEDS these things, but man is it frustrating as a fan of the franchise.
My bigger question is why 'announce' "40 Generations figures" and then only have release information for FOC product? To tease interest? Good grief. Where's the Knockout prototype? Where's Airachnid? Why is the thing I'm most stoked on this year the Vortex Kre-O?
Here's hoping that third party Trailbreaker actually comes out.

That seems to be the consensus of thinking here. Unfortunately they get greedy and money-hungry and release version after version, repaint after repaint of Bumblebees and Optimus Primes that they lose sight of what we fans truly want. But most importantly, they lose their commonsense thinking and that is why so many corporations fail.

Remember First Edition was mixed in with PRID on the displays? None of what was shown in that picture came to fruition.
A case or two, here and there with no fanfare? Not what was promised. I realize the official release is March 1st, but when they say "We're canceling this and that, but we're still pushing onward!", I can imagine the investors get a bit nervous in their seats.
If I was putting that kind of money into it, knowing the movie was what bringing in BIG revenue and then they tell me they're canceling product tying into it...I'd be like "Impress me." And when they hadn't, I'd be like "Well, enjoy the money I did give you. I'm out. I'm done."
