Not sure to what all it applies to but I know my Stingers, Outback w/ Flak and Strato Viper w/ CLAW were the products I got notifications for. Here is the e-mail:

Hi - Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.

Thanks

Any thoughts as to why? I really wanted those Stingers.

I dunno. You'd think that what with the barely distributed Q&As, if they had an announcement to make on this scale, that would have been a good opportunity...

Unless this is just a matter of someone getting their wires crossed.

I got the same emails. Apparently some folks got their orders from Entertainment Earth cancelled a couple weeks ago too.

I'm hoping this is just a case where the assortment is going to be changed and that Hasbro is reissuing these later. OR that they will be released for the movie line. Hopefully we'll get an explanation soon.

Crap. I was going to buy a new HISS to make an artic HISS, then HASBRO announced the Artic HISS so I backed off, now there are no new HISS in the stores and no Artic HISS coming. That sucks.

Just becuse the order was cancelled doesn't mean the vehicles will never come out. And who knows, maybe the online orders got canncelled becuse the brick and mortor retailers bought all the stock.

I should be getting a HISS to sell soon if you may want it.

Justin will pop in soon no doubt, but this has been discussed elsewhere. Just because they don't get them in doesn't mean they are cancelled utterly. These companies just want you to spend the money with them or not at all :)

I think they may be retail only perhaps...

I agree we'll probably see them one way or another at some point. It stinks they cancelled them for this release though.

You never know, maybe Kroger will snag them like they took the TOD line.

I believe that the Water Mocassin with Copperhead was the wave prior to this 'cancelled' wave, and is still on deck.

If not... HEADS WILL ROLL.

PP Copperhead and the Ghost Hawk already have confirmed sighting at Wal-Mart by a guy over at Hisstank w/pic's of the receipt. Another guy said he spoke with with a Hasbro rep and was told the vehicles are just delayed.


Quote:
I just spoke to a Hasbro Marketing Rep who's card I got while she was at a wal-mart.

They are delayed and it's not a bad "sign" it's part of their push to produce more of the modern era toyline and release them quicker and in better stock.

"The cases will be more plentiful for this wave, as will figures to come up to and after the movie," were her exact words.

There are countless possibilities here, considering the spring release schedule and the impending movie stuff. We know they've done the tooling, we've seen pictures on the Club site, so obviously they've already invested significant funds into this.

There is still a ton of product hanging on store shelves, so I could see that impacting some retailer outlook during the holidays. Heck, maybe things are actually pushed back a bit. But with tooling already done, I would expect to see these released, it just may not be when we think (or hope) it is...

Time will tell.

Justin
