Sideways Sneak Attack

Does anyone know what happened to the Sideways Sneak Attack set that was supposed to come out in late 2010 (the one with Legends Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1 and Deluxe Sideways)? I know that it was canceled, but does anyone know why, or if it will be released later? I'm guessing it won't be, but I was looking forward to that set, since I would have been able to get approximately in-scle figures of the Arcee sisters and because Sideways had a more movie-accurate color scheme, and would probably look great with the Reprolabel set.

It's been canceled indefinitely, especially since neither character will appear in DotM. So it's best not to bother.

Interestingly it was on the cross-sell on the UK-Only "Ravage Infiltration Pack", but it didn't appear over here either.

It was
never released, and it was supposed to be a Target exclusive AFAIK. Plus, the sets you mentioned (Hunter's Rumble and Rotorwash Rumble) were Target exclusives as well. Then again, you're from Singapore, so things may work a bit different. Besides, Sideways was included in a plethora of giftsets, with High Speed Spy Battle with Ice Cream Truck Skids and Mudflap being the latest.

I live in singapore. We dont have targets, wallmarts ... or you get the point. Hasbro's BSing about the "exclusiveness" everything hits ALL the department stores in my country. We even saw ALL SDCCs (like N.Prime and soundwave) hit retail...We have all the dotm "exclusives" like blue SS and delux OP in Toys R us / other leading departmental stores. Well whatcha gonna do with a country's that's only 64 KM across?

The point is Sideways was to be included in
two exclusive giftsets at the same time: one with Skids and Mudflap, and one with the motorcycle triplets. So the chance of misremembering is high.

I really wanted those Arcee triplets in Legends size. Bummed this set never made it.
