I have been out of the loop for awhile now, so forgive me for asking something that may have been covered a billion times already.. I planned on getting the 5 dvd battle packs to build a mass device eventually off of ebay when I could afford to.. But of late I see peaple mentioning how rare pack 5 is, I check ebay and of course nothing there wich worries me as someone who looked forward to getting these when I could and building that mass device.. So my questions, what happened with pack 5? Why is it so rare? What is the final piece of the mass device that comes with it? And why would hasbro set this up where you gotta get all the sets to build the Mass, then make it almost impossible to get the last piece after loyal fans bought the first 4 sets? Thats insanity, can anyone explain, thank you..

Don't worry! I have some sources that say DVD Set 5 will be re-released again in the near future and all those ebay scumbags will have to scramble.

you mean sources higher up than hasbro? They have told us repeatedly that there are no more and that they have all shipped and for us to go screw ourselves because all they care about is ROC.

Official word was that they'll release more of Set 5 once the earlier packs have been sold.
What does this mean? Don't hold your breath anytime soon. Unless Hasbro has a massive stockpile of Set 5 in some warehouse. Chances are, they will ship out remaining inventory, but those will just be excess product that came bundled with Sets 2-4. This just means our shelves will be stocked to the brim with unwanted DVD sets again. |

I mean sources that say the set wasn't fully released in stores and that many still have untouched pallets/boxes... which makes a little bit of sense to me seeing how the rest of the sets are still on shelves...

Hasbro keeps saying that they are hard to find because they are in retailers warehouses because of earlier sets being on the shelf.
I say Hasbro is full of shit because all anyone here has is the VvV set and that came out AFTER set 5.

i agree. Besides 1 or 2 leftover battle packs at toy'r'us even those are becoming more scarce. Maybe all these 'retailers' will send the product back to hasbro and they will sell on their website someday, when ROC floods retailers.

The VvV set has nothing to do with the case shipments of the other DVD Packs. The MASS Device was one line, the VvV set was another line.
So retailers had space set aside for the MASS Device SKUs and then get another DVD Pack SKU. Remember, retailers (for the most part) don't care about the actual packs themselves, they pay attention to the SKUs. So just because the VvV pack is out, has no bearing what so ever on the DVD MASS Device Packs.
