New toy pic rant

Recommended Posts

Okay I apreciate P.Prime and EasyNet for what they do for us as far as proto pics  :clap One thing I dont get is why the pics are so vague. It's like they're giving out free Hasbro teaser pics.

 

For instance, the recent Rollbar+Ricochet pics, instead of 2 side pics of Rico, I would Have taken pics of the side, front, back, box art and most importantly the bottom of the box that has all the Product info and pics .

 

Maybe I'm just impatient with Alts but it just so annoying to still have to wait when we could have had all the info at once. Is there some type of proto photographers code that they have to maintain? Like when we saw Prowl and Sunstreaker's bubble pack pics, PPrime had Skids the whole time but he made us wait. What's the deal?!

This guy probably has Prime too. Just like P.Prime had Skids and made us guess at his next revelation

if he does have them then he will show them sooner or later

 

and trust me he does have the prime

he doesn't want to show it yet

 

Cuz new years day is a week away so that will be the first day to show new thingies

I'd be happy with any pics we get. Truth is, they aren't really supposed to be shown in the first place. You'll get better pics when you take them yourself anyway. :D

:pfx

 

and as nice as seeing pics weeks in advance is, finding a surprise at the store is really nice too.

i agree but like to be told in advance. because isnt it always the way you go to get a figure and then find another you dident expect and have to get it and you dont always have the money and then you have to choose

i hate the choosing, my mom and fiance almost lost out on x-mas because of seeing the new alts on store shelfs, of course i did the right thing, and it awarded me with them anyway for x-mas, only about 20mins left and i'm busting them bad boys open

When was the last time that happened? I do agree with you. When I first started collecting, it was fun going into the store and finding out what new BW figs would be in there next. A few months later though, I discovered the Interweb and havent been surprised since. Even if I never knew what the fig looked like, I still knew it was coming and was prepared for it's arrival.

 

Wait a minute. Before I get lost, my point is regardless of whether or not the pics are supposed to be shown, the fact is, they are getting shown. So I just wanna know what the deal is. Are these people hired by Hasbro and are told when and when not to show stuff or do they just enjoy being vague for a while? To me, it seems weird for them not to show more pics unless they're getting money off of this somehow.

 

Does any one know if there's some bigger story here going on behind the scenes? Just like when I found Skids and Sunstreaker, I couldn't wait to let fellow TFans know and since I was blessed enough to have my mom's cam, I definitely wanted to show proof. The only reason I didn't take more pics is cause their appearance is old news now and with every one finding them after my news, it was even further less needed

After Seeing these pics, I'm forced to retract my Rant. http://TFormers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album...ize=800&start=0

I've come to realise that, maybe as a favor for a friend, Easy net must sneak these figs and takes pics but isn't a real Tfan. Or else the pics would be better.
