Never knew Google was one of Hasbro's primary market distributors (or that one could even buy toys directly from Google).fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:On the primary market? In stores?

Sorry, but, you're not helping your case if you can't admit that those older reissues are no longer directly available from primary market retailers (as in, Toy 'R' Us since that's who carried the Commemorative Series line), which is the entire point of this in the first place. Hasbro only cares about the primary market since that's who they get their money for these toys from. The secondary market gets them no profit. And, they don't get anything from Takara releases either. Otherwise, why would Hasbro bother reissuing anything on the primary market if people could just go after previous releases on the secondary market?fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Never knew Google was one of Hasbro's primary market distributors (or that one could even buy toys directly from Google).fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:On the primary market?

Sarcasm will get you everywhere
In other words, you got nuthin'!
How to use google (just in case)
1. Install Chrome
2. Type the word you want to search for (in this case G1 Hotrod Takara version)
3. Click Enter
4. So simple even a 5 year old can do that!

There's also the point that "quality control" doesn't appear to be in Hasbro's vocabulary any more. They make so many stupid mistakes these days and it's much quicker and easier to just take something back to the store and get a new one at the same time when it's missing parts or has the wrong parts or loose parts (or messy paint and crooked stickers). Buying Transformers online these days is such a gamble, I only do it if the price is hard to resist or it's the only way I can get them.

The last reissue was in 2004 with the Commemorative Series. That's 14 years ago. That's quite a while so where is the problem?
It's true that some TF could be reissued like all the headmasters and such. But the lost of molds and other shenanigans may prevent that.

False, they reissued G1 Prime in, I think, 2009 for the 25th anniversary.
