June 2nd Shelf Date for Transformers Movie Products Still in Effect

Posted by Hotrod May 10, 2007 at 6:39pm CDT 15,243 views
We reported a rumor that the June 2nd street date for Transformers Movie toys had been lifted. The previous report was indeed rumor. Today on Transformers.com, Hasbro posted the following message:

"June 2nd On-sale Date Still In Effect!

To clear up any confusion, the 6/2 on-shelf date for Transformers Movie product is still in effect and is not being lifted. The only movie products that are allowed to be on-shelf before that date are the two Movie Deluxe Figures (Protoform Optimus Prime and Protoform StarScream). Only 22 days to go!"

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

And to think that I own the entire first wave and then some almost, thanks to eBay! Can't wait to receive the deluxe figures that popped up this week on eBay. :)

I for one like this.

1.) I have more time to get the money I need.
2.) I'll be able to fill the cart with TFs. (This alone rules damnit.)
3.) A street date makes it even for everyone.

My only problem is, how the hell do I get from Wal-Mart (Bumblebee/Barricade 2 pack @ $16.99 FTW!) to Toys 'R' Us (Blackout/Scorponok 2-pack FTOW*!) which are in opposite directions, in the same day??

Normally I wouldn't worry, but my region is full of people quick on the draw when it comes to new TFs and Wrestling figures. (I don't collect Wrestling figures, but I've seen them literally tear the aisle apart looking for that one figure.)

So...it's gonna be a race to the finish. :(

*= FTOW: For the other win. No, I'm not good at this netspeak, :P

I'll be surprised if I see anything more than the preview protoforms before the movie comes out here in Atlantic Canada, as I only saw the protoforms come here last week. Only two columns available of them compared to the aisle full of Spidey 3 toys all over the place.. (neither of which sold very much yet)

Now, I might as well order Leader Prime from Hasbro; I'll be lucky to find any in stores on June 2 in my area without doing a lot of driving. So these early releases were just misplaced stock after all (dam).

i was at target tonight and found two Bonecrusher's and a swindle. i snapped one of each for me, and the other Bonecrusher for my best friend's birthday (I don't think he reads Seibertron except when I send him a link... so nobody tell him!) and as soon as my camera is charged i'll get some photographic evidence.

pictures coming soon. i need to let the batteries charge a bit longer.

i have already opened bonecrusher and swindle, (but i have a second unopened bonecrusher for the gift, so.... in-package pics will be coming of that, at least) and..... they're awesome. bonecrusher seemed insanely complex at first go, but its really not so bad once you've figured it out. swindle is just..... nice. i find it interesting, because, it makes special note on swindle's packaging that he's "as seen in the transformers video game"

the card backs read, as follow:Swindle is just one of many Decepticons, brought to earth by Megatron to cause as much trouble for the Autobots. He's not a great fighter, but he makes up for it in the amount of pleasure he takes in just blowing stuff up. His extending torso cannon fires explosive rounds, and he leaps around like a madman, firing randomly in a fight. Battling Swindle is like battling a crazy bundle of living dynomite.
strength 6, intelligence 1, speed 8, endurance 6, rank 2, courage 5, fireblast 9, skill 3.

Bonecrusher hates everything. And what Bonecrusher hates, he destroys. He hates this planet, and all its inhabitants. He hates the Autobots for getting in his way. He even hates Megatron and the other Decepticons: the only reason he stays with them is because megatron scares him. Bonecrusher lives for the day when he's the only one left standing atop a pile of smoking rubble and shattered robots.

Strenth 9, intelligence 5, speed 5, endurance 10, rank 6, courage 8, fireblast 7, skill 5.

anyway, i'll try to get some pictures up in a little while, promise!

Meh..... I'm not in any hurry to get movie transformers anyway. I think it was Monday that I went into the post office and picked up the protoforms I ordered from hasbrotoyshop.com a month ago and just today that I went in *again* and picked up the Pepsi Convoy I ordered. So until I've got money enough to order the Devastator set from walmart.com, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut. I think I'll grab these new two-packs they're talking about, save money on buying them separately.

Hey, this kind of implies that those buggers in Hasbro's front office is listening (or, more appropriately, reading) what we have to say around here. Not that we're having all that much influence on the movie or anything, but maybe we could at least bug them into continuing Classics. Just a thought.
