Dude.. hasbro where the hell is the First edition voyagers? England's got the line AFTER the first edition wave ... WHY ARE YOU BEING SO RESERVED AND SHADY?!?!?
Im VERY dissapointed with the hasbro distribution .. honestly I'd expect the US to get these figures first.
i agree.. it's absolutely ridiculous. the US has yet to see all of the first edition wave.. and the UK has already gotten the main line figures. .. hell there are even people who haven't seen any of the first edition figures. it's BS.
.. not only that.. but they get figures that were literally just revealed to us a day or so prior to them hitting stores.
i don't mind other countries getting them first.. but when they're that far ahead of us.. that's when i start having a problem. this is the US.. where hasbro is based.. get your ____ing products on the ____ing shelves already.
the worst part of this whole deal is that there is literally nothing we can do.. we're obviously going to be buying the figures when (if) we see them.. and we're going to continue supporting the brand. but at this point hasbro needs to take notice of this and understand that they're pissing off a lot of people that put money in their pockets and put a lot of time and effort into their products.
i wish someone would grill them on their distribution because it absolutely blows. i'm sick of seeing stores with either empty pegs or bumblebee repaints.
sorry.. my whining and complaining is over (for now). i'm happy for the people who have been able to pick these things up and have been kind enough to share photos and reviews with us, kudos to you guys.

Last I heard, the rumor of Leader Class in Prime was debunked. Seems that Cyberverse, Deluxe and Voyager are the only size classes we're getting.
I mean, it could change, but so far, it looks like no Leader Class. They'd be horribly out of scale anyway. The Deluxes and Voyagers are so small these days...

Bottom line, if you don't see [X] toy in your local store, it's because your local store either didn't order it or hasn't decided to put it out yet. Hasbro cannot magically make toys appear on your store's shelves. Hasbro is not the reason you can't buy FE figures at every retail store, the stores just didn't want to stock them right now.
Ultimately it's an indictment of the creative bankruptcy of modern "blockbuster" entertainment marketing synergistic strategies which are, first and foremost, about brand awareness over quality. It seems more and more "Have I heard of this?" is the primary purchasing criteria for parents and grandparents an ever-dwindling number of chain store buyers, which overall is pretty sad.kirbenvost wrote:I blame it on the movies. Retailers only want the movie merchandise because they think it sells better when that is not necessarily the case.
