Does that store every restock any way? every time I search on there, the selection is limited. Then the listing just disappear completely. I wouldn't judge things by them.

Two words: He's right.

I got this e-mail from agesthreeandup.com:

 

Most of the rumors you have heard now are indeed true. THS-02 was not produced in sufficient numbers to meet demand. How does this affect you? Well, my order for these items was canceled in its entirety. At this time we have no ability to get any of these figures. Stores like BBTS and JRS have pretty much taken most of what was available for the North American market AT THIS TIME. I have enquired about a second run of these figures and have not heard anything back as of yet. If I ever do secure any of this figure I will be sure of add it to the site and the forums as soon as I have any definite information. Just because it is sold out now does not mean they will not do another run of this figure. I would assume more are to be done at a later date. Some of this may also have to do with the Tomy / Takara merger which happens as of April 1st 2006. You can check out their new site at http://www.takaratomy.co.jp. We are hoping that Tomy as a company will alter some of the difficulties in obtaining certain figures of the Transformers line. When we have more info we will be posting it for everyone to know.

 

Masterpiece Starscream is NOT official yet. Our supplier has inquired about it with Takara but has been told to wait until its official release information. All that has been released is a piece of paper with the THS-02 and everything else is just speculation right now. When the official information is released we will be adding this highly anticipated item to our preorder list. 

 

Thanks for your patience on this matter and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

 

 

   

This shortage is the worst....why would they do this to us? what have we ever done to them. ....sigh..

i hate how everyone is raising their prices....

 

anyways..i am glad i got mine from kooltoyz.ca

I can't wait to get this guy.

I haven't seen this posted yet, but I recieved this information in a newsletter from Spencer@agesthreeandup.  Kinda weak.  Glad I preordered from BBTS. :D

HLJ list things as discontinued when it just means that the item is out of stock and they don't see themselves getting a restock in the future.

Mines got shipped about 3 hours ago from the looks of it ^_^

Too bad for Spence. He runs a cool store.

This'll be a lesson to preorder all Japanese exclusives. *Only saying this cause I did.* Try ebay.
