Hmmm...but does it affect the store release date?

Wave one looks bitching, even if it is a tad small.

Until i see them with my own eyes on the shelves then i dont believe it. Looks like i need to set aside $30 for Megatron and Lockdown.

I like how i posted a subject about this yesterday and no one cared, but as soon as its a day later and someone else notices... That is besides the point it stinks because now i need to save my money for even more things like this. I'm not looking forward to many of the Autobots as much, but I do wonder if these are the only ones that are being released, or if its going to be others as well.

When you think about it, it's the exact same size as the release of Classics Wave 1: four Deluxes (Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Astrotrain, Starscream) and two Voyagers (Optimus & Megatron).

Okay, you've got me there. But on paper, like that, it looks small. Especially with no dinobots yet.

What class is Ani Starscream, btw?

March 25 is the release date! Well, I guess I'm done collecting the movie line so bring on Animated!

Oh wait, I need money first. :-(

Just a suggestion - If you want your topic to get noticed then it's helpful to post a thread with a clear title. If you are refering to this thread that you created yesterday - http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37117&p=658366#p658366. I did not notice it until now because the title was too vague "Hasbro Shop @ Home".

We try to give story credits to the first person that sends us pictures. Without pictures - it's difficult to support a story.
So if you want to get credits for a story, then send us pictures or post them in the thread. We love it when people submit pictures and stories to: http://seibertron.com/contact/index.php?subject=news. That way the story does not get overlooked.

Awesome! It will probably take forever until they get to a store near me though. :-(

I really hope this is true, I want to pick up everyone there, 'cept BB, just not a big fan of him.

Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:33 am

So now the story is that the toys might be released to STORES on March 25th or so? Oh man, I hope that's correct ^_^.

Also...you can "copyright" a page in a magazine to yourself?

Dammit, I just bought a Bumblebee figure on eBay, recently. I would've waited had I known this. :MAD:

Get these on store shelves already HASBRO!

News Credits: 2 · Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:18 am

Released on March 25th? OMG, this is 6 days away from now!

Read the flier... It says Voyager, and everyother topic about him......

I wouldn't get my hopes up to walk in to Walmart and see these guys on the shelf just yet. From what I've read they are supposedly going to be available on Hasbro's online store on the 25th.
Unless somebody's actually called the hotline # and heard the message,
this is just a rumor until I see it for myself.
Didn't Hasbro have a press release declaring their official release would be in June. This could be an online promotion by Hasbro to
get a feeling of what the projected sales could be.

Hopefully is not one of those "Order now but ship 2 months later" deals.... :-x

I just got off the phone with an actual human by calling the 800 number from HasbroToyShop.com (1-800-408-0052).

I told him I just got the new catalog in the mail yesterday, and it had the Transformers Animated toys in it, and I asked when they would be available to order.

His answer: "Well, they are not available to order right now, but they should be in a couple of days or maybe a week."

id be very suprised if hasbro ships before the release date.

I'd be even more suprised if these were in stores this month. there are movie toys filling (warming??) pegs and no signs of room being made or animated signs being put up.

it would be great if hasbro did take order and ship next week, if that is the case i wonder if this was alway on the cards or has somebody recognised the online fervour for the toys?? and would that even generate a response??

anyway the sooner these are out the better, those movie toys are just soooo dull, abit like those usually awful movie tie in videogames, over detailed, over polished, over technical but beaten into submission by far simpler, far more elegant games like galaga! animated is my galaga.

now just to hope that the show comes to poland soon...

Wed Mar 19, 2008 12:37 pm

Definately getting Voyager Starscream. :oops:

Waiting for Earth alt mode Megs. :-B

Primus, I hate the whole "Pre-Order" trend. I've started refusing to do so on my video games now that I live in a metro area and I'm seriously going to pass on ordering TFS if it's the same deal. It's just giving the company a loan.

Seeing as these are technically a new product line for Hasbro, I don't think they can come out so soon.

Places like Target have to put up new planograms and DCPI numbers for a product so different from the movie line.
