Totally agree with the OP. I used to love "the hunt", and the thrill of finding that figure I'd been looking for for weeks. Lately, everywhere I go there's nothing but RTS Laser Prime and Mindset, so I've started to lose interest. I've pretty much given up on ever finding a Warpath in stores.

 

Well I want one of those Laser Primes then! ;) Everywhere around here is almost barren this week...some stores even have ALL Transformers on clearance! I can only guess it's to make way for the Dark of the Moon toy resets. I'm just sad because this means they probably won't be carrying any of the other lines any longer.

I was a Jock Goth, But really Hasbro needs to get a clue already. They have to know they are losing money right now because as usual they screwed up again. So let's fire Archer, and then fire the entire marketing and Distribution areas and replace them with people who have common sense.

Ooh, and therein lies the problem. You'd have to slog through the dregs of TF fandom for any hope of finding anyone with a shred of common sense and there's days where that seems like slim pickings. There's days where I'm convinced getting a business degree means checking your brain at the door and then forgetting where you left it.

I don't know. There's days I'm convinced we (in the general fanbase sense) could run things better but it's moot regardless. Hasbro would never let the inmates run the asylum. My only real hope is that somebody who grew up with, loves, and respects the product will rise to a rank where he has some real influence. Then, if he's good, he (or she) can keep one eye on the bottom line and one eye on the fans.

Just have Donald Trump buy Hasbro, and watch what happens. He knows how to make money. Or someone who understands Supply and Demand. I'm starting to think the Warpath mold wasn't made for Warpath but instead Hard Head. Warpath is the actual repaint. They just released him before the actual true mold owner

So he can bankrupt it like one of his casinos? Seriously, how do you run an f-ing casino into the ground?

These are troubling times indeed, from since Armada we tf fans in Canada have been educated on receiving the Hashaft(no Armada Skywarp). Since then BBTS has been a go-to source for my wave skipping paranoia purchases. But RTS Grapple and Windcharger were only secured by hard work scouring Walmarts and TRU's. Warpath is in the mail.

 

The coming of Gen and RTS just screamed bad idea(s) right before DOTM I knew they couldn't release them all.No way.Basically I'm just happy that they have been making some great toys and hope they can continue(need frenzy/rumble). Nowadays its get them however you can.

 

It hurts when you frantically buy online only to have them flood Walmart but then again not as much as no fig at all.

Trumps a business man, who knows what he is doing. And it wasn't him that was running the casino at that time, plus it is in Atlantic City which for some reason is more expensive then Las Vegas. How a city in New Jersey is more expensive then Las Vegas I will never know especially one that has built only 1 new casino in the last 25 years.

 

Besides, a Toy company like Hasbro has way less risk, while a casino is high risk especially in this day and age,

A casino is a license to print money that preys on peoples vices regardless of prevailing economic conditions and he still blew it.

I know I'll certainly feel better when Hasbro closes its doors for the last time if "the Donald" has somebody else at the helm as it goes under.
