The marketing team are making them more of a 1st quarter 09 release. And are also mixing up cases for more diversity.
I just spoke to a Hasbro Marketing Rep who's card I got while she was at a wal-mart.
They are delayed and it's not a bad "sign" it's part of their push to produce more of the modern era toyline and release them quicker and in better stock.
"The cases will be more plentiful for this wave, as will figures to come up to and after the movie," were her exact words. |

Your orders are canceled now. BUT you'll be able to get MORE later on shelves and online.
So, it makes sense. It's merely a delay. | |

I'm sure other people have seen these reps when they do their rounds. | |

There is so much hasbro shit that no one wants ( indiana jones, hulk, etc) falling off overstocked hooks in every store but you have to kill someone to get hold of a joe toy. Maybe I am over reacting, maybe it would be better if every wave of vehicles was 4 new vehicles instead of having to buy an extra vehicle every wave. | |

What about the new comic packs? The other wave of figures? The announced other waves.
It's just the vehicles that are pushed back, there's nothing anywhere that says they aren't going to make them, just not right now (at least not right now in this case assortment).
I'd like it if they replaced the Ghost H.A.W.K. in the case with another new vehicle. I didn't mind, cause I want more then one Ghost H.A.W.K. but a new vehicle and not another one from a previous wave would be cool.

How about all those 5" Batman Dark Knight figures from Mattel? Seriously, I think Hasbro is doing a great job. And although it seems the Indiana Jones line was overproduced and Hulk figures are clogging the shelves, at least you can find their good quality product in stores. If any company that deserves the fan bitching it's Mattel, considering how hard it is to find DCUC and how the non-movie masters Dark Knight figures are horrid yet you can find those everywhere. I rather see Hasbro's Hulk, Iron Man, and Indiana Jones toys on shelves than those.
