Sponsor Update - Ages Three and Up Newsletter

[Super_Megatron]

We have received an update from our sponsor, Ages Three and Up. Click the title bar to review the full newsletter.

[Super_Megatron]

First off let me apologize for not issuing more information regarding Hasbro’s request for us to remove the KO figures from our site. We have not heard back from them since the initial request was made and so there really is nothing more to report at the moment. All that we can say right now is that the reason this request came through is because someone ‘told’ on us to Hasbro or complained that we are carrying this product. Because we have never been secretive about what this product is, we were a very easy target for Hasbro instead of doing a whole lot of research in who is selling these figures. A request was made for our suppliers of these figures but to this date, no one has contacted any of them and so it leads me to believe that the easy target is the one to go after. As more unfolds you can be sure we will report it. A3U will continue to update http://www.kotransformers.com/ and will also continue to bring news and info regarding these figures as it unfolds to keep the public informed to these unauthorized figures.

Now to the News!

MP-05 Upgrade kits

I know we have been a little slow in getting these kits in. With Chinese New Year now behind us, things can get moving again. We have been assured that our shipment will be leaving next week and so all preorders will be filled and we will have enough stock for the store remaining. We will look into restocking both WST Snarl and the MP-01 Trailer very soon as well.

MP-04 reissue

Speaking of MP-01 trailers, it has been rumored that Takara is going to re-release the MP-04 set with both the MP-01 figure and the trailer. A3U does not put up preorders until items have been 100% confirmed by Takara with a release date and so far we have not had that confirmation. When we do get it, you can be assured we will add it to the preorder list right away. Good news for many owners of the MP-01, A3U will again be selling the MP-04 Trailer WITHOUT the Convoy figure. We will be splitting up our MP-04 sets and you can acquire just the Trailer from the set or just the Convoy figure if you wish. If you buy just the trailer from us you will get the trailer toy, the box it comes in, the large MP-05 box to also hold your MP-01 box and all the paperwork. If you acquire the Convoy, it will come in a plain white box with Convoy and all the accessories it originally came with. This is NOT the same paint as the DVD Optimus Prime that was released not too long ago in the US; this one has a bright red and blue paint scheme to it.

Revoltech Convoy and Megatron

March will see a re-release of the Revoltech Convoy and Megatron. At that time will be fill all of our Backordered Convoy figures and all outstanding orders will be filled at that time. We will also have stock available for the store when these arrive.

Items Shipping

As stated in our last newsletter, Skylynx and the USA edition Starscream should be shipping out next week. All orders will be filled as soon as they arrive in stock. We are also expecting to see the Optimus Prime Ultra Magnus Classics two pack around the same time.

Newsletter

This is the last time a newsletter will be sent out using the old site’s newsletter list.
