Any one else notice RTS Windcharger is gone from Hasbro Toy Shop? What the hell? Why is Hasbro screwing Americans with this guy?

Sorry if this is a repeat topic, but I am pretty annoyed at this right now.

I believe Hasbro announced that Windcharger and his fellow case mates had been canceled for American distribution.

I think the Transformers collectors club still has him in a wave bundle deal.

We haven't seen any of the RTS legends either, but at least they are still on the website. What is the point of canceling these for Americans again? I live like 25 minutes from Hasbro HQ in RI. Maybe I should go down there and give them a piece of my mind.

You can still get them, the legends and the bike repaint fairly easily in the UK.

Welcome to how Europe feels every 5 months. You can get it at premium like we have to do with the end of almost every range.

I did actually have 2 spare ones but gave them to two american friends last week.

I caved and spent $50 ($60 after shipping) for the case of six scouts from TCC to get that one Windcharger in it. Not sure what I'm going to do with those other figures (if anyone wants one or more, let me know).

I'm almost willing to bet Warpath is going to join Windcharger in the "Cancelled for America" club.

I just looked through HTS (trying to compile my DotM wish list) and saw WC and WG on there. Out of stock but they were listed.

Warpath is there but is sitting in what seems to be perpetual Out of Stock status.
