TRU-exclusive G1 rereleases for the UK

Post by Halfshell »

I don't have a link handy, but there's a rumour going around at the moment that Toys "R" Us in the UK are/will be stocking rerelases of some original items.

Apparantly, Optimus Prime has already been spotted in some places (£29.99).

"The American Rodimus Major re-issues were being sold for £25 at BotCon Europe, but will be £9.99 when they eventually hit TRU."

Trades with other board members, my friend. And hey, he offered... ;) Sorry Cliffy, we both thought the reissues wouldn't make it out there, right? Right? :)

Oh, I don't think I have £10 cash to go on a Hot Rod in the forseeable future... Plus I have pretty poor faith in TF distribution in the UK.

im sure hasbro will get their act together.
Then they'll notice that fans want WW toys, and release them. With full poseability. And along with an apology about the DW fiasco. Then they'll buy lawyers to sort out the legal mess about international shipping rights.

Then they'll do a coordinated worldwide release of the entire G1 line, followed by G2, BM, BW, RiD and Armada. And they'll all be high quality! AND CHEAP! AND ILL OWN THEM ALL!!! ALLLLLL!!!!!! BWAHAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAA!!!! *slap*

or maybe hasbro uk wont get their act together.

Mayhap....

Methinks it unlikely....

And along with an apology about the DW fiasco.
Keep dreamin, dude...

Then they'll buy lawyers to sort out the legal mess about international shipping rights.
*pfff* Sure they will....

Then they'll do a coordinated worldwide release of the entire G1 line, followed by G2, BM, BW, RiD and Armada.
Why would they release G2 again? To see it burn again? And BM? That will burn, mark my words....

And they'll all be high quality!

AND CHEAP!
You really need your medication again, dontcha angronn2?

or maybe hasbro uk wont get their act together. [/B]
