Although i get it now, they are advertising the toys that are out in stores now for people to buy. Thats fine but in that case I think it would have been better to just release these videos just like that and not advertise it (to TF news sites) as a reveal week for fans.

Sure, thats what it looks like now, but thats not what they wrote in the PR letter, nor what they said at toyfair (where they had also shown some of these toys). So like I said, my beef isnt with these videos, its with the hype they gave him. They actually contacted us, Seibertron, to let us know of this. What is the point of telling TF sites there will be a week of reveals if it wasnt intended to be for the audience of specialized tf sites.

Because PR is general. We're just on the mailing list.

The more hooks you put in the water, the more fish you're likely to catch.
And I doubt Hasbro's marketing department keeps track of what we (seibertron) know and don't know, but they do know we are a valuable and free marketing tool.
