The Energon Pub

Hi folks,
The reason why I did'nt out right make a post about a petition but instead asking folks here if they would even support a petition. Is becase I don't care if Im the person who creates the petition. I would honestly have someone here with more seniority and post and do it. So more people would sign a petition.

I just want a chance to own MP-10 which I missed out without having to go to ebay.
We can even propose to Hasbro to not include the trailer if that is their breaking point to releasing it.

I am thinking if a petition is going to be made it would be made in facebook a non website affiliated not seibertron.com or tformers ..etc. So members of each forum would not have no bias to signing up. Just sign up for the love of prime so to speak. Or maybe if it is in seibertron.com Maybe a united effort. from Popular transformers website to gather their petition and submit in unison to Hasbro. They can even make it hasbro.com exclusive if thats what it takes for a rerelease

I posted the idea here first to gain interest and if senior member here who has pull so to speak want to create the petition here or on face book. Or if a Seibertron staff member wants to take over. I'm all for it .I just want a chance to own MP-10 at normal retail price..

Hasbro is going to re-issue him mein freund Don't worry.

Meanwhile in Singapore:

Still overstocked in every TRU. Price is at $159US... No one's getting him... Dammn TRU, drop the price to $100 and I'll take it.

Hey gavinfuzzy, your stuff's are more expensive in Singapore than Hong Kong. Btw, you mean to say its overstocked at TRU? In my side of the world........all sold out

The response is you get nothing.


There's a very vocal element in this fandom, however big they are, who demand to be treated like serious collectors.


Economies of scale are a big big factor in how companies like Hasbro make money...but the things some people are clamoring for have very specific, targeted, demand.

So the only way they're are viable is for Hasbro or Takara to make limited quantities and charge a premium for them.


..and what happens once Hasbro respond for your calls to be taken seriously?

You guys flake.


You can't buy it because you have a mortgage payment, 2 car payments, 3 kids in college, and four cats who are sick.


Hasbro don't care about your personal circumstances. If you can't or won't go the extra distance to get one of their products you are not the serious collector you think you are.

You guys make me laugh, and you know what, Hasbro are probably laughing at you too, you're almost nothing to them and you're lucky they even acknowledge you at all.

Hilariously, MP-10 only exsist because of fanboys.

In some ways i'm a fanboy myself.........difference between me and some however is that i went out of my way to get an MP10 rather than just sitting there and feeling sorry for myself because Hasbro didn't delver it to me by hand.

Kind of cold bro' but sometimes a sharp worded response like that should awaken some of the individuals around here.

This is an expensive hobby. I'm working a regular tenured job and yet I too feel the pinch. I prioritize only my wanted figs to the most wanted figs. Sometimes I'm forced to let go of the others.

In my case I too went out of my way to get (from years ago)a couple (not all)of MP by selling my soul to Unicron.

My next target for the rest of 2013 would be just Starsaber and Dai Atlas. That's it.............just saving up and praying my source would manage to get them.

It isn't our right to own one and Hasbro doesn't give scr@p on petitions. Only thing I'd be concern about would be quality but then again, its China or Vietnam you're talking about so that's hopeless (and the warranty for Japanese market products imported overseas doesn't extend beyond the shores of Hinomoto).

Give it up, kid.

Just the fact that they made every MPs ever stupid TrU exclusives that are distrubuted like retards show just how much Hasbro care for the MP line.
Which mean, they dont give a single fawk.



I had to rely on a nice Seibertronian to middleman me one at cost. Even then, with the base price + taxes + Paypal fees + customs, that MP Prime cost me around 170$ instead of the normal 115$ if my local TrU would have bothered to even have them in stock (stupid Quebec language laws).

You want it? You pay for it. And if you are late, you pay even more. That's how it goes unfortunately.

With the 30th Anniversary next year, I'd be surprised if Hasbro doesn't release him. Im thinking - trailer and some other bits and bobs.

An almost identical situation over here in my neck of the woods.

This is why I bite the bullet and pre-order my Takara MP's from ye ole hobby store. The local TRU's are useless when it comes to Hasbro MP's.
