2)Will you ever give Europe any exclusives, it isn't fair that the US and Canada alwats get exclusive TFs and Europe don't?
3)How do you decide what TFs will be exclusives and which will be on general release?
4)Why don't Tfs ever have a fan choice poll like other ranges like Marvel Universe?
5)Why don't you fix flaws with molds that have been released over the years. ROTF Sliverbolt still has the same leg problem he had when he was Storm Jet in Energon?
1) They are thinking about it.
2) Exclusives are requested by the retailers, so it's out of their control, but where possible, they offer it to many retailers. Example - here in New Zealand, we never got exclusives, but we've slowly started to get them now. We still only have about half, but it's a start.
3) It's usually only repaints/remoulds that are exclusives (not all the time, but usually). Again, often requested by retailers, Hasbro sometimes puts promotional items out as exclusives too (like Chevy Swerve. Except that I think Chevy/GM asked for that, but I could be wrong).
4) They don't care. Their target audience is children (but really, I can't see that children are the ones who buy the most of the 'good' stuff).
5) Apparently, they try to as much as possible. Hey, it has been happening recently, but I guess with figures like Energon Silverbolt, it's hard to do a good job without some heavy remoulding, which obviously they're not at liberty to do since they just want to repaint the mould.
