Notable absences: the Destro three pack and the Danger at the Docks (Flint) set.

New pics of the figure sets that are up, however. Beach-Head looks good: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... age=family

These are preorders with ship dates similar to BBTS.

Link is dead now.

Yeah, all the preorders have now been pulled. According to someone on another site, TRU underestimated demand and everything is sold out.

I'm not hitting the panic button yet on the TRU angle of the 50th. Retaliation never had a solid online presence either with TRU. Especially the stuff people actually wanted. If they had, I would have bought some of it. As it stands, all my online purchases of Retaliation came from Dorkside and HTS. I'm still holding out hope that the 2 TRU stores that are 40 minutes away from me in opposite directions will be well stocked.

This could end up beiing a good sign.

If supply can't meet demand for these initial offerings and retailers don't encourage Hasbro to overcompensate by over-ordering/producing the next wave, maybe we'll get more 50th offerings?

Shades of the last Masterpiece Optimus Prime. They really need to start ordering more than half a dozen each of their exclusives.
