I think Hasbro was just being over cautious initally as they've been burned several tims on "movie" line toys. Remember the Star Wars movies? How there was a @%@%^@^ load of toys out there... so many that they all eventually had to be marked down and put on clearance?

...and how this trend seems to follow a lot of movie toys?

This time they tried a different approach--fewer toys than the actual demand. This way, they can put out different variations and get not only the people who missed the toys the first time around, but also those who want multible variations of the same toy.

I swear, Dr. Doom wouldn't put up with this stuff.

(Ok, Dr. Doom actually doesn't put up with anything. He'd probably kill me because it's supposed to be 'Doctor Doom', not Dr. Doom. The man spent a fortune on business cards and he's not about to go reprinting them because we're too lazy to spell out the full title.)

I think it was real funny.

Oh and I just call him Doc Do
U could just call him "Doom", "Victor", or "VVD".

True, but I prefer Doc Do, makes him more angry!

Hasbro overall is okay true they have lost some touch over the years but another reason is there working on other crappy toys like heroscape and other crap while dumped transformers into the gutter after the movie and said the "dates over baby"

Hasbro takes an eternity to make them. Leader Megs is an example of what happens when they rush the production. I've finally started to see figures on shelves again and guess what? They're all assembled wrong to some degree

Search around the TF General Discussion. There's a thread buried somewhere here.

I miss high command's derailment pictures.... :sad:

I haven't seen one in god knows how long. And this topic is perfect fodder for that.

I would also like to say that if you live in the US, you have very little t no right to complain about hasbro. If you're in the uk, or for that matter most places outside the us.... I really wouldn't care what you say because those places usually get spit on by hasbro. (No offense guys, but the way I see it, places like the UK get shafted by hasbro... alot....)
