This is true. There is another site I cannot name here that supports this assertion.

A lot of fans got ripped off by that Amazon scammer that put up preorders for them with official pictures too. Hasbro should not have released official pictures to retailers until plans were finalized. A lot of fans had Christmas ruined by the scammer retailer thanks to the promise these were coming out and the photos sent to retailers by Hasbro.

I believe we'll see vintage style stuff in the future after the movie run. Just like what they do with Star Wars. They still release vintage SW with stuff from the newer movies and cartoons.

I bet they pop out a Stinger over the course of the movie releases.

Hasbro put these pics out, places put up pre-orders and we got excited and then somebody at Hasbro decides that it's too close to the release of GI Joe the rise of the X-Men and pulls it for fear of real Joes hurting the sales of these sorry impostors.
Hasbro Make these Online Exclusives if you have to BUT GIVE US THEM!!!!!!!!

Can anyone really blame Hasbro for this? I'd love to know how. They're the ones that went through the huge expense of actually tooling new parts for these vehicles and the figures only to have retailers back out at the last minute, more or less leaving them on the hook for significant expense without any way to recoup their costs. Seems to me that wouldn't be something Hasbro would choose to do.
