Generations Warpath now available at HasbroToyShop.com

Thanks. Ordered this and Kup now that he's back in stock

It won't be in stock for long.

And my Generations line is now complete

I betcha he will be a shelf warmer, as everyone will be getting him online first.

Wouldn't that be funny, 6 months from now all the complaints that there are soooo many Warpaths, Windchargers and Rumbles clogging the shelves!

Ordered one to trade off.

Already received mine from BBTS earlier this month.

I just ordered mine.

Better than DOTM warming them.

Thank you Seibertron !!!

I created an account just to order Warpath. I frown on having to pay shipping on something that Hasbro is suppossed to stock in my local stores but their marketing division is run buy a bunch of chimps. I spent over $100 in gas driving my SUV around Miami looking for the last wave of figures and Im not doing it again.

Now if anybody knows where I can get some additional wreck-Gars for a fair price (without bidding) please hit me up.

Sincere thanks for the heads up! I'm seriously considering stopping the local hunt as well — too much time and gas wasted.

Damnit, I just ordered Wheeljack & Scourge yesterday. It would have been really nice if I could have done all of these figs in 1 order to save on their rather expensive shipping.

I really wish Hasbrotoyshop.com was more solid with their stock levels and more regular with their restock schedule. I mean these guys _manufacture_ the toys.. they can always make more to meet demand if they need to.

agh, damn you hasbro toy shop for not having a UK bit!

Hope it can stick around for just a little longer, 'til I can spring for one.....

Based on how hard it was to find any of the new toys, I bought Warpath from RobotKindom a little while back. After I paid for my order, I checked and saw that RK was already out of stock. I ended up paying a fortune for him, but considered myself lucky to have found one at all.

I also broke down and bought United Rumble and Frenzy because I was not convinced I would find Hasbro Rumble easily once released. I just did not feel like visiting five stores every week. Then it was announced a week later that the Reveal the Shield line was canceled.

Fortunately I have a friend in the UK who has mailed me Windcharger...should be getting him anytime now.

I remember the good'ole days when whenever you saw an announcement for a new figure, it would be a matter of months before you saw him in your local store. Finding what you wanted was never an issue. Now, you have to pay more than double to preorder what you want because there is a good chance you will never see these toys in the store.

To this day I have never seen Dirge, Kup, Perceptor, Jazz, Wreck-gar, or Scourge in any of my local stores. I have seen plenty of WFC Optimus, WFC Bumblebee, and about a million Drifts. I saw Jazz only once.

His is already out of stock.

had them in my shopping cart and was told they were sold out when i was right about to check out....lame.

In-stock when I went clicked the link!

Out of stock when I added it to my cart!!!!

Crap, Suck

Yup. Gone like a bad habit.

ditto. kind of ridiculous when Hasbro can't keep their own items in stock… their store is joke.

Yep, gone.

Sad too, because I had checked HTS this morning around 7AM

But I have one coming from BBTS, but I had to get a second Wheeljack & TC to get him, I'd like to have canceled that order.

Oh well.

Wait...Hasbrotoyshop is capable of restocking?

Seriously. I had Thundercracker in my cart the other day when he was magically in stock, as I was checking out, hes amazingly out of stock. As for Warpath, an hour after stock, and hes completely out?!?!


Hasbro heres a spoon.

I love how HTS has been putting these figures back in stock over the last few days. Wreck-Gar is back in stock. Then Perceptor comes back in stock just as Wreck-Gar has sold out. The Perceptor sells out so they put Wheeljack back in stock. Wheeljack sells out, so then they put Warpath back instock. You can't order any of these guys at the same time. They must make a shit ton of money off of shipping.

I'm sure you will find something to do with WJ and TC.

I must have gotten luck, and nabbed on about an hour ago.
It says "In stock" but with a May5th shipping date.

HTS needs to change it to "pre-order".

Woah! At 7:45 I was like, "should I catch the bus so I can get to the gym on time or order a couple Warpaths..."

Warpaths. Obviously.

I ordered 2 , I typed in 14 by mistake, intending to get 4 but didn't delete the "1". Doing this gives an error message. You can only order 2 of them, whether it's per account I'm not sure. But I got 2 and I'm happy with that!

Knowing that the limit was 2, I'm very curious how they could sell out sooooooo fast. Yes he's popular, but this is basically the distributor selling these, not a middle man like your Toys 'r' us' and targets. And I agree the 1 by 1 availability is absurd. These figures are available in waves and wave revisions. They should make it a standard among all of their customers (retail) to release the figures in the same way. Even the odds for the consumer.

It's silly of them to switch out twist ties with paper ties to be more environmentally friendly, but release items 1 by 1 causing consumers to scramble to get them. By doing this, they will ship way more cardboard. Primus bless BBTS AND THEIR PILE OF LOOT!

The title of this news story should be "Generations Warpath Was Available At Hasbrotoyshop" since by the time most people get to reading this he'll already be out of stock, like with every other new figure that pops up over at HTS.

Yeah, they must get something like, FOUR figures in at a time. It's pretty annoying.

I figured he wouldnt last long...I posted it as soon as I became aware of it. Congrats to those who were able to get him, hopefully more will become available to those who missed out.

Holy Crap! I already got a ship notice on Warpath!

OK, let's clear up some misconceptions about HasbroToyShop.

1) They *are* a middleman. There is not some magical Oompa Loompa powered conveyor belt pushing product from the Hasbro factories in Asia to HTS's warehouse. They have order and receive their product just like Toys'R'Us, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. If they don't order enough, they can't sell it. This is 100% not a Hasbro Factory store. They're a retailer, affiliated with Hasbro - yes, but they've got to go through the same hoops and hurdles as the other guys. They may get special treatment with early access but they deal with the same absurd case distributions and all that other retails see.
2) Trickle stock. This comes from "preorders" that get cancelled or can't pay. Just like BBTS, HTS does not actually take your money until they ship the item, even going so far as to split the cost of shipping over each shipment. If you can't pay then, or if you cancel, the inventory doesn't immediately release. Once per day, the re-available inventory pushes into normal stock and can show up on the site. This information came directly from an HTS supervisor when I was trying to combine two preorders. If you cancel a preorder, the stock does not immediately become available for sale again. I'll say that once more because it's extremely important:

Newly available physical inventory from cancellations/returns/etc does not become available to order immediately. You must wait for the system to decide it's orderable again, and that happens in batches.

There is no human involved; in fact, I was lead to believe that they can't even override it. They can't create orders with these limbo items either. They have to wait for the system to allow them.

Hopefully, this clears up some major confusion and prevents even more butthurt over HTS.

Very interesting to learn this information they day before Judgement Day!!! HTS is run by Skynet!!!!

Joking aside, that is a lot of info I didn't know. Thanks Razorclaw!

Sold out!

you'd think, being that retailer supposedly aren't ordering these, that Hasbro would have a gargantuan stock of these to sell through their own online store. Why these sell out in minutes is beyond me.

It's not "their own online store". Hasbro redirected all this stock to overseas due to the weak dollar and all retailers, including HTS, not ordering enough. There is no gargantuan stock of these. THEY ARE GONE.

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Why are these toys not in stores???? I know the answer but I'm Good thing I snatchet a LUGNUT off of the site yesterday

OUT OF STOCK

*sigh* I was in the middle of giving a three hour presentation at work Stupid work ethic...

Bought!

Warpath should be shipping no later than tomorrow.

F@$%@ retail!

Maybe 2 more Scourges to complete my Sweep army and YoungPrime is done for whats likely to be the rest of the year and then some!

Yea, I'll probably try to recoup some of the cost for them

At least for TC.

I may try to mod WJ's legs again on the spare

Not only is Warpath now gone from HTS, they have also eliminated Windcharger from the list completely. He's no longer anywhere to be found.

And not only THAT, HTS is now down completely. (Not that going there was actually helping anyone. Nothing to do there except read the many little buttons that say "OUT OF STOCK"...)

I saw where someone had modded them to be thinner on ebay, they made them fold back.

windcharger is not even listed there anymore. its like the figure does not exist.

Quite frankly, I don't think Hasbro Toy Shop should ever go out of stock until they retire a figure or line. YOU MAKE THE EFFING TOYS!!! IF SOMEONE ORDERS ONE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, MAKE ONE!!!

This is why you're reporting a 71% profit loss.

SONOVA....

Figures I get a tough call at work and cannot get online.. Only to miss this fig..

Crap..

My Order shipped already!

I kid you not:

WARPATH IS NOW BACK IN STOCK!!!!

Don't know how long this will last

just got mine before it went out of stock again.

anyone know where i can get a windcharger? dont care about the price.

Was just thinking how exciting these recent posts have been for those who would kill for a Warpath...

It's like a whack a mole game, huh... ha ha!
