What I do find amazing is all the Dino's so far have such awesome head sculpts! It's just too bad I don't give a damn for them but awesome none the less.

Id really like to meet the people who make these decisions so i can see if they are completely stupid or just morons when it comes to running a toy line

BUT NOT FOR THE TOYS R US TRANSFORMERS EXCLUSIVES.
For ever, TrU have ENGLISH ONLY packaging for all their exclusives. Meaning, any special repaints, any special re-issues, any Masterpiece figures are left out of Québec because there's no French on the box. And it's not because there's a lack of space on the box. It's purely because they don't give a **** about a whole province and it's people.
I ask since I bought a Canadian Prime FE Voyager Optimus off of eBay, and it had trilingual languages on its packaging like seen here with the Evolution 2-Packs. If it was TRU that sold the Prime FEs in Canada, then that'd count as a trilingual TRU release.

SInce Rodimus, ALL MPs were TrU exclusives. Available all over Canada except Quebec.
Sigh.
As for the Prime 1st Ed, it dosent really count as a TrU exclusive. It was supposed to be for a wide release but because everyone were choking on DotM shelfwarmers, no one wanted to stock them. Only TrU took on the distribution.
At least, that's how the legend goes.........

Not quite, the GDO series were meant for Asia release ONLY. When Hasbro US succumbed to fanrage heard the fans' pleas, they decided to release them in the US, in new packaging with Chinese as extra fanwank to denote their origin. As is the nature of limited series they were exclusive and TRU happily picked them up along with the reissues of Prime First Edition.

okay, so now I'm just imagining all these guys running around shouting "Mash Up!" like "Head On" in the Japanese Headmasters series.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, let's make AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlllll the toys adult-oriented expensive collectors items. This way, no childs will ever get into Transformers and make good memories of it.
Then, when you wonder why the Transformers line is dead and cancelled because of lack of sales, don't come crying back.

It might work better with Transformers, because mixing parts makes more sense with robots. But judging by how the Marvel Mashers are doing I think they'll be taking up shelf space for a very long time.

Isnt this line kinda new?
Just give it time.
Also, my reply wasnt just meant for him. It also address all those complains about the kinda poopy to collect but surely fun to play with One Step changers and the like. These things are a necesary evil to have new fans. :/
