Amazon exclusive Dirge and Ramjet status

[delrue]

They would probably have had prepared statements for certain questions they were anticipating.

lmao how disconnected could you be from your fan base to not know the current issue of the coneheads? Its on the amazon reviews, its all over reddit, its all over news sites, its all over this one.

An interview with a disconnected design team is masturbatory at best... who cares what designers have to say when they clearly dont care about their designs in the hands of consumers.... what we really need is some community liaisons and managers.

Canada's an afterthought. It's rather easy to believe that they haven't been in the loop re: our lack of distribution on the coneheads.

Yeah, they promised. They... They wouldn't lie... would they?

Thank you Super_Megatron!

Yeah, and you can always increase your chances. Look, that guy has a Dirge and Ramjet pack!

I still have my pre-order but I gave up and stalked it on FromJapan and finally got one that arrived today. 14500 yen + shipping.

If my PO ever gets shipped, I'll be happy, but at least I'm covered without paying $300-$400

Wow. Sorry that people want to hear from the people with the passion to design these toys? Show some respect for the designers. Are there problems at Hasbro? Yes, of course. But this comment is ridiculous.

I'm only sympathetic if they tell me the mold pressing thingamachiney needs semiconductors at this point. Otherwise, no excuses. Man I live for the heyday of just walking into TRU or any toy aisle.

Thanks for update Super_Megatron.

Not sure if this gives me hope, or makes me lose all hope of ever getting this set ever ....

Sounds like Dirge and Ramjet were part of the containers that went down to the bottom of the pacific ocean.

Honestly, I'm not surprised that the design team doesn't know about distribution issues. It's not their job. They just do the sculpting and designing. It is unreasonable to expect them to know the ins and outs of every other department in the company. At the end of the day I'm sure they just want to go home to be with their families, have a beer with friends, and do anything else that's not work related. The interview with Super_Megatron is the extent of their fan engagement because it was probably done through Hasbro so they got paid to answer those questions. They don't get paid to sift through pages and pages of fan forum posts.

The distribution team however, when are we going to get an interview with them? I got some yelling I need to do.

Exactly this.
