like you that we cant say things without it being taken wrong.

Obviously I got you were lying out your backside, but apparently you didn't read my post. The fact is, your comment was much akin to the jackasses who like to make stupid comments during a riot just to try and upset people further.

Prepare to be called out when you act like a doosh

WHAT????!!!!! I still need Ratchet, Bulkhead and Optimus! I hope that means they will still be sold in stores. This really sucks! Hasbro is making a BIG!!! mistake.

Ratchet and Optimus are coming out in the RiD line. Unfortunately that Optimus is way worse than the FE version, just like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.

Both of you knock it off.

From where?... If you don't me asking.

A seller on ebay, but it looks like they just raised the price by $50, so I guess I got there in time.

I bet the guy you bought them from is kicking himself pretty hard now.

There was a guy on eBay who had 15 CJ's and was selling them for $40. I don't know when he did it but I got a notice he had 5 left and raised the price to $60. $40 was tough but $60 is no can do.

Broke down and brought a FE Voryager Prime on eBay for $70 shipped, the rest (CliffJumper, Bulkhead, Megatron and Vehicon) I put in preorders for Takara's FEs at BBTS hopefully they come thru...

What The F*@#!?
Cancelled in America, before even arriving here in Australia?
Hasbro has a lot to answer for.
Target, who suppose to be the only store to feature LeadFoot Figure from DotM, still hasn't got him in, or for that fact, Que/Wheeljack.
They're still trying to sell 20+ Ultimate Optimus Prime Attack Wing Gattling Guns at $119.99
All there is on the shelf, are those and a few Ultimate Bumblebees.
And when, if ever, will we see Soundwave? Deluxe or Human Alliance?
The only HA figures we had released, was recoloured Bumblebee and Skids.

First Editions were never coming to Australia. It was always a matter of buying them online or waiting to see what the RID releases looked like.

After hearing this news, I know that I could no longer get Zombie CJ.. sad..

I've also gotten Takara's FE Vehicon just in case RID comes in and the later FE waves will not.

You're also in Singapore, right? You must have noticed the ammounts of FE primes, BB, CJ, and the 2 pack keeping the shelves of TRU warm.

Sorry everyone else

**** you, Hasblow. Kiss my ass. First Edition never hit here at all, the last wave of Generations was the Kup/Scourge wave. Had to order Black Shadow, Laser Prime, and Wreck Gar cuz they never made it to shelves. Yet there's PLENTY of DOTM Bumblebees clogging the shelves, plenty of those crappy Kreos all over the damn place(and yes, I think Kreos suck. If Build the robot, take it apart and rebuild into it's vehicle mode. LAME, at least BTR really transformed). No Prime, no DOTM Soundwave, Wheeljack and Leadfoot, hell, Rescue Heroes are tough to find(my son loves those). I'm done with Hasblow, you ain't gettin' no more of my money. I'll just order Takara/Tomy stuff from here on out.

Oh how I miss KO Toys.com now. Anyone know where else to order the CHMS stuff?

Yea.. I mean Vehicon actually is from wave 3 of FE:Prime.. so SG may not have Hasbro release for wave 3..

better be safe than sorry.

Well I ultimately sent them an e-mail. Not that it will do anything unless around 10K people do the same. :/

But why TRU in the U.S.? Why not any of the other retail store? Sorry for not knowing this if everyone else does.

I have a theory why no other retail store has FE Prime stuff, cause the market was saturated with DOTM crap that stores didn't order new TF from Hasbro. For example my Target's around my area are fully stocked with craptastic DOTM Bumble Bees.

I think Hasbro mighta done this for the lulz... They probably hang up the emails they receive with the most venom and butt-hurt on their breakroom bulletin boards.

It's a crappy situation for those that were looking forward to these figs, but Hasbro doesn't really care...even if they get 100 emails from the most pissed off of us. As someone said earlier, about the only good your pissed off email does is maybe make you feel a little better.

One question why are they still up for preorder at BBTS??

That's a good question. I wondered the same... Might not be BBTS' fault they're unable to get these, but it is their fault if they're still taking orders for something they apparently can't deliver.

Hasbro should have put out the RID molds first. Then everyone would have been all Windows Vista/Windows 7 with them and loved how Hasbro was caring about the fans and listening to what they wanted.

I just spent $60 to get FE Cliffjumper from a guy in Canada. This is the only time I've bought a Transformer and felt bad about it.

2 Days... And still pissed as hell!!

Allmost all the remaining FE toys, Hasbro and Takara, are ordered now and i must say...

THANK YOU Hasbro for making me blow a lot of money on ebay

If Hasbro does not want my money why do they not just simlpy say so. Then again, they did with this news post. I will stick to Takara and even more to older toylines making them (more) complete than they are now. So ebay again.

So TF is dead on Hasbro side for now.

2012 will be the Third Party year anyway

(Perfect Effect Arcee!! )

Hope all of you domestic fans can do at least something to make Hasbro pay for what they did. They spit in the faces of all collectors and big time with the FE toys.
Sorry for BBTS but all pre-orders that go RID will be cancelled

I'm still waiting on a reply back from TF Source about the pre-order I had set up for all the FE figures. I asked them what they were going to do about my order in light of the fact that three of the figures I ordered had been cancelled. Hopefully they'll either give me store credit for I can complete my TFC collection, or they'll hunt down Prime, Bulk, and CJ for me.
