Somebody was probably sleeping at the wheel at Hasbro.

Then they got emails from retailers and went ?whoopsie!?

Nope, we got a direct message from Gamestops purchasing department through customer service contacts that they heard from Hasbro Canada and Hasbro Canada was not going through with the deluxe wave in Canada. This was relayed to both in store employees and their online customer service (they even made calls to people who put their names down at stores to tell them this).

Demand might of changed that.. as gamestop does have some purchasing power now. Gamestop might of sourced these through the states too. A common consensus which everyone here seems to like to fight about is that hasbro is starting to cut production 30-40% across all lines in order to save money. So there will be less product to go around. Its meant to curb the amount going to clearance and stores like Ollies, Superstore and Winners.

They might have gotten it from a different distributor. Same way the other retailers did.

Good ole fricking Gamestop. Of course I missed out on Beachcomber. Sick and tired of them putting stuff up for pre-order at completely random times. Get your damn act together.

checked the site, the street date is changed to 2023-05-01. Last i checked the date was scheduled for July 1st. a full 2 months ahead of schedule.

I really hope Armada Megatron is coming early too then, currently scheduled for August 1st, but i'd love to have him before tfcon toronto so David Kaye can sign one.
