Of course these are all good questions for Hasbro at TFcon this June.

Thanks for the info, yeah I wasn't counting on SS coming out up here but it's hard to hear a 'not coming out' without hearing a real account of why, anytime, but particularly given the SW case.

Thanks for the update. Boo-urns for Starscream not getting his passport in order.

Words fail me to explain how I feel about this lousy turn of events. And as I said on TFW2005: Bloody lazy buncha...

is now the time to jump on ebay for one of these? there are dozens of auctions, usually for around $65 each. seems decent....will the price only go up?

figures... Walmart and Hasbro must not like money.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expected this, but now I guess I can turn to ebay. He will still be cheaper than what I paid for MP-03 anyway. I really wish Hasbro had better Canadian distribution/exclusive deals.

Don't blame Hasbro Canada. They offer the toys, and it's up to the retailers to purchase it from Hasbro. Blame Wal-mart.

That's very disapointing. Concerning ebay i won yesterday an auction for him for 62$ US (around 58-59$ can) but 30$ for shipping. I lost the auction with beter shipping price but at least it's under 100$. Theres a big question remaining: why making a store exclusive with a figure highly wanted. We are put aside again.
