Does the Hasbro release have a date yet?

It hasn't been, that's why I'm skeptical. To know for 100% we need to see stock images of the effect in action (or in hand photos). If its true then, good if not then its no loss really.

They never said that. They said they heard the complaints towards stickers. That doesnt mean we have seen an end to them.
