You guys act like Hasbro is some big evil organization. I'd kinda like to see a study done on fan types and the ways fan personify various things within their community. Of course it would have to be done by an outside, none affiliated person, who'd probably want to stay far away.

I'd be interested in watching a movie of this.

Not evil. Lazy, out of touch with the fandom, unbelievably stupid when it comes to distribution of figures, as well as deciding which molds would make them money if repainted. I'm sure everyone can add more reasons to be displeased of Hasbro's management of the brand.

IMHO Below:

 

All hasbro has to do is as follows to please me:

(1) Generation leader sized rodimus prime. that is similar to either Fan projects Protector or the titiaum 6 inch rodimus prime but only 9.5 inches tall in robot mode.

 

(2) MP or generation leader sized G-1 styled galvatron with a G-1 styled laser canon tank alt mode.

Not to mention, we all know distribution is up to stores. Not saying they are a perfect company, but come on guys.

Much to the contrary when it comes to case assortments, there's still and 400 Prime BB's just in my county clogging all the pegs, and really nothing else. I've looked, that's the kind of distribution you can't blame on stores, only one place to blame.

So the store should clearance and order new stock. Hasbro is a supplier not a distributor. They do have a buy back profram, but it's still up to store managment.

 

You are right with case assortments, and we've seen in recent case assortments they have started to change that. So, thats a problem looking to fade.

Rob is right. It appears that Hasbro has listened to retailers (not really the fans) pleading to no longer ship different versions of the Bumblebee mold, which is obvious after swapping out certain waves of Shadowstrike Bumblebee with Vehicons, not shipping another FE Bumblebee in the TRU assortments, etc.

 

While Bumblebee is iconic and fans will want him at first, pushing them in every subsequent wave will cause exactly what you are seeing now - clogged pegs. I, for one, am happy with the reveals that Hasbro offered today, and may have to start hunting.
