Definitely. But then you end up with two of the Triggerhappy retools in one case, and Hasbro have been trying to avoid that. Weren't the w5 Wolfwires modified to removed the defect on the w2 ones? There was a defect? Yeah, the canopies snap easily. |

I think the Wolfwire remoulding was speculation, can't recall any evidence supporting it.

No, neither can I. But it was the only thing that made sense of his selection!

Not expecting much Titans Return out of Hascon today, possibly another Head and Deluxe 2-pack to account for the rogue Scorponok listing on the Trypticon breakfast cereal.
But, at the very least, we should see what the Magnus head looks like today!

surely the series is basically wrapped up by now with TR?

All but. But, like I said, we think there's another deluxe + head pack out there.

So how do we feel about this compared to the previous T30 version?

It compares well because the "T30" was a bloody horrible toy.
And despite being a terrible nautica, blurr is a really good base for arcee.

He has a 'finger up the bum' grimace! Which just makes me want him even more. I mean, yeah, I wanted the Arcee. Of course I did. She's gorgeous. But I want that Magnus face now. So much. |

Oh great. Right, we need American contacts who don't like Transformers. Stat.
Oh that's interesting - confirmation of the fourth diecast Titanmaster. No, there were never four boxed sets planned were there... *rolls eyes*

Kapow expect to have it, which means other retailers will.
Not worried about this one.....

So does that mean the one going in the shop has less paint apps? Or are they saying it'll be released on a wider scale later with a cheaper deco after the shop run out of the con surplus?
This does actually make me want to scream. Hasbro you gormless f*cking idiots, you have markets outside America, will you stop f*cking sidelining them? We would like to buy this damn toy too!
Hasbro UK! Are you paying attention to this? Sort it out! How hard is it to put an extra thousand on the run and sell them over here? Jeez, even RORC had that sorted with the Botcon toys. We're waving money at you and you don't want it!

Not if they're selling exclusive toys through an online shop that doesn't sell outside the US!
BA**********S! Come on. COME ON. How hard is it to do something like this right?
Well, alright, Funpub showed us it is quite hard. But HASBRO?! they've just run a con. It can't be that hard to get a Marketing Dept intern to hook up with Jim Sorenson and put a quarterly newsletter together with access to an exclusive toy a couple of times a year.
I just don't see why they're ignoring this. There's money to be made. I was really hoping this weekend they'd announce a proper bloody club, not just, oh we've got this one toy and it'll be in the shop for a few days before we run out.
GAH!

BA**********S! Come on. COME ON. How hard is it to do something like this right? BASINGSTOKERS? Yeah, they'd make me angry, too. But being in an angry mood this evening (it's a Monday) I can totally see where you're coming from. Maybe they have more plans for the rest of the world... but this last weekend was kind of the perfect time for them to announce it. Rather than have us begging for scraps via Kapow... |

I totally get the frustration on this. I just don't have it in me to work up to the anger. It's sad that we've just become so used to the way Habro treats us, even in this age where we can buy stuff from Japan and China with no real issues.
I dunno. Just... throw the rest of your markets a bone sometimes, eh, Hasbro?
