Re: The things Hasbro/Takara do that you hate!
Guys, Hasbro has NOTHING to do with distribution!
The retailers buy what they want from Hasbro, then Hasbro ships the stuff to the retailer's warehouses, where it then gets distributed to the individual stores. Distribution is ENTIRELY in the hands of the retailers. Can't find what you want at Walmart? It's Walmart's fault, not Hasbro's. And keep in mind that generally speaking, Canada is usually behind the releases in the US anywhere from 3 to 6 months. So just because you see people in the US playing with a new toy, doesn't mean you should be able to run out to TRU and find the same toy that day. Unless you want to pay more money for it by buying from US online retailers, you're probably going to have to wait. It's the way it's always been.
What grinds my gears is how I wish they'd get on the ball with their animated series. CW. TR, and POTP all came out AFTER their respective toy lines were already over, and now Siege seems to be following suit.
