Re: Anyone know why we get really late TF releases in retail?
Earthrise hasn’t reached saturation anywhere at this point. Final wave stuff like Astrotrain is always hit or miss for distribution.
Beyond that, we’ve gotten many releases before the US over the past year. I’m pretty happy with Siege distribution, overall.
Now Botbots...man, I wish I had the same luck finding those little dudes.

People forget, Earthrise had an initial soft street date of March 1st for the US. We're not late. Chill. Patience.

same, I need the individual wave 3 packs and then wave 4 stuff.
For siege stuff the last wave of deluxes was scarce for a month or two then walmart got them all in and it was well stocked for the most part.

Earthrise.. we barely got Siege in my neck of the woods. And it seems to have gotten worse over the last few years.

From what I can tell, the majority of transformers toys (at least mainline stuff) is not late, it's usually right around the street date or before.
And we even get stuff before the states too, as was the case with omega Supreme.

Re: Anyone know why we get really late TF releases in retail?
It is not the date but poor distribution. Sometimes selected stores stocked stuffs even before the street dates and broke them. For instance, not every Walmart got the 35th Anniversary endcap display, or the last wave of BM.
And last year we got almost every Generation Select and exclusive stuffs, except may be Star Concoy and Red Wing, through either EB, TRU or Amazon Canada which is somewhat amazing.

A lot fewer retailers nowadays and the ones that are left seem to carry very limited stock.
