Toys

We've all wondered and complained about Hasbro's delivery and distribution (among other things) and I was wondering if anyone knew precisely why. Do we have any regular forum members who actually work for Hasbro direct in their headquarters, or regional distribution centers? I ask because we seem to have a few people who work for Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us, who all seem to have access to those retailers' computer systems and all the info and listings those systems have, do we have anyone who is in a similar position as far as Hasbro? I keep reading about how the next wave of Cybertron is out (Lugnutz, Scrapmetal, Downshift) and Alternators (Rollbar and Richochet), bu…

Take a big look at the figures not getting any repaints in the USA Optimus Prime Super Starscream Regular Starscream Fangwolf Backstop Metroplex Wing Saber Wreckloose Gasket CD red alert CD Hotshot CD Scattorshot regular scattorshot Vector Prime Evac Landmine Armorhide Breakdown Minicon Recon Team Dirt Boss Sideways Scourge Brimstone Mudflap Crosswise Downshift Thunderblast simply inexcuseable, there could be more money milked from all these figures

I guess Im in a bit of dilema. In your opinion which is better to keep and have fun with? I have all three Robotmasters seekers (Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker), but I also have (and maybe enjoy more) all three WST seekers (legit Starscream and KO clear skywarp/thundercracker). The RM pose better and look nice, but the WST are more fun, manageable, and mix well with all the WSTs. Well?

Yesterday I think, or a couple days ago I checked and they said "coming soon". Today on my lunch break at work I checked again, and they're available, so I ordered both with standard shipping. $45 delivered to my door. Can't argue with that. I got tired of driving around trying to find the new Alts and Cybertron figures. Got tired of seeing dozens of Ravages and Windchargers clogging shelves....dozens of wave 1 Cybertrons hanging on store pegs. Honestly, in this day and age, I'm surprised companys even bother with retailers...or at least surprised they don't focus more on internet sales. Just glad to get these 2 figures...I havnt been able to buy any TFs in awhi…

Whether this is canon or not, this will be canon in my house - I've decided that E-Omega's head deserves to be his own bot. After all, he has two alt-modes (head/battleship bridge) and fairly decent posability. Only thing i have come up with is Yorick. Nope. I need a NAME for this li'l mofo, and so I'd like to hear your suggestions. Thanks!!

my friend just got me a loose galaxy force backguild figure for $10USD from a junk sale and he told me that at the sale he saw a loose grimlock ford mustang alternator (i think it's alternator because he said it's pretty light and no diecast) with the words NOT FOR SALE imprinted on the top of the car would you guys consider this to be a rare item and should he get it for the sake of collecting? and on a slightly related note....since the backguild figure i was given is loose i have no idea if the one i have is the hasbro version or the takara version. does anybody know the differences between the 2 so i can figure out which one it is? the only thing i know so f…

w/ the repaint of bendy Prime? http://tfw2005.net/gallery/v/Toyfair-2006-...010067.JPG.html is he going to be part of Cybertron or Universe?

Is Hasbro's own online toyshop the only place to get the Hasbro Astrotrain reissue online? Hasbrotoyshop doesn't ship internationally and you won't even be able to create an account if you're not living in the U.S. Now, plenty of Takara versions are available in online stores but the retail price is nearly twice compared to the Hasbro version. Thanks for any tip!

hey all, just a quick question, the KO WSTF combiner sets that are all over ebay, has anyone bought any of them ? and what kind of quality are they ? very tempted in a couple to go alongside Metroplex.

I don't know if this has been posted anywhere or if it's even a major issue but the Rhinox I just picked up at Wallycron has his arms attached backwards. Has this happened to anyone else or is mine simply an anomally? Anyway. Out of the package and transformed. Somethings obviously wrong here. :wtf Easy fix though. Remove the screws in both shoulders remove both halves and swap em. Not too difficult, but since the rear of the shoulder half has to slide under a layer of plastic behind it you attach it upsidedown facing forward and turn it so it's facing backwards. Easy. Slap on the front halve and replace the screws. Done. Well almost, the …
