TF attacktix fans are about to find out what TF fans have been going through for the past 20 years...you'll just have to wait and see Indeed. The closest Toys R Us in my area has a bunch of TF still, but I was just a the local Target yesterday, which had a TON of TFs last time I was there, and they now have NONE. They still have a few starter sets, but boosters are gone. Maybe some one just bought them out? Probably not...

Well I think they are selling what they already have, and not restocking on Series One. So that means that Series Two should come.... soon....

I wonder if this means that they will be on clearance on hasbros website. I mean it seems that if they pull all the boosters then they would have a massive overhead of transformers which means they have to get rid of them some how and what better then to put them on clearance on there website.

Well... I guess that (Pheonix's link) means that TF2 Marvel 2, and SW 2 are closer then they appear. The link said they were being pulled for 'Newer Attacktix Porducts' and the movie stuff, It seems as though i should pray to god when I return to TRU saturday not only do they have some left but Ransack's in there (I hate you you elusive basltard!).

I think part of what it might be is the old stigma about non-transforming Transformers that stretches all the way back to the eighties. A lot of people think that any toy Transformers related HAS to transform and probably dislike Attacktix TFs since they don't. Personally, I think they're missing out on something by thinking of them like that, but hey, it's their choice/loss, you know? |sf>That's clearly part of it. At Botcon 2006, the biggest excuse I heard people say for their lack of interest in TF Attacktix was that the figures consisted of the "newer characters." I hope series 2 will fix that oversight. Another problem might be the "blind packaging" nature of most of the figures. Many TF fans are somewhat spoiled, because they aren't used to blind packaging.

We TF fans will be falling all over eachother trying to grab that Grimlock figure in series 2, no doubt there! But, yeah. I'm a big TF fan, and it surprises me to no end to see the sheer volume of complaining TF fans tend to do. It's almost as if they hate more than they like... which doesn't seem very fan-like to me. I guess many ppl feel strongly about (for example) G1, so they get upset when things don't fit that standard. I don't know. I like ALL branches of Transformers. Even R.I.D. *shrug*

you'll always find fans that are purely G1 and Purley Beast wars for example. But the transformer Mythos spans furhter than just the one series (even RID...which wasn't that bad...and i've met the guy who voiced prime from that series)
There are always gunna be parts of the transformer mythos that some fans just dont like, myself, i wasnt a fan of altenators for awhile, but recently after buying a few i've begun to like them.
I dont think new series after new series has helped, manys the time i've thought...i aint even collected all of them yet and now they're releasing new ones. That and the bad ways the toys are released, especially in the UK.

Even R.I.D. *shrug* TF fans are a bunch of whiny babies! (Excluding us, it seems like )I've mentioned this a couple times before. I've appreciated every series that's been released in the US, no matter how badly written (Armada/Energon- Especially, in my opinion) or how amazing it was (Beast Wars/Beast Machines). It's Transformers. That's what I love. What's bizarre is, in the TFs fan base, not hating TFs makes you a minority!

At first I was all enraged and shouting 'What's this slag?!!?' and whatnot... but I'm liking what I see now. Sure, I think I'd prefer if all the characters looked like they did in G1, but overall I'm pretty pumped about it. I want those preview protoform Optimus and Starscream figures!
