The resulting Dinoforce would also be heavily compromised by the inclusion of the Dinobot designs.
Both are listed as out of stock on .ca, so I think they're just not showing up as a result.Now, if only Amazon.ca would list him already...
They're not listing Studio Series Steeljaw, either, and Amazon.com is saying they can't ship to me... OR a friend of mine in the States. WTF? Are they just keeping them all
While you do have a point re: the Studio Series Dinobots, there was a 5 year gap between POTP Volcanicus and the Legacy version.The Core Dinobots might've been more novel if they hadn't just done PotP Volcanicus and were currently still doing the Studio Series team. They felt superfluous now. Maybe if they'd gone for Monstructor or Dinoking first.
Oh, that's kinda cool. Are there sets for Jazz and Wheeljack too?Damn, I don't buy many Toyhax sticker sets, but this one got me. They made stickers to turn any of the Autobot 5 Pack into new characters, and this one in particular was an insta-buy:

Stickers and a new head to turn my extra Trailbreaker into the V.E.N.O.M. Jackhammer! The new helmet even incorporates into the vehicle mode to allow it to simulate the Jackhammer's attack mode! Loving this so much.
This one I didn't buy, but it unlocked a memory I didn't realize that I had:

A sticker set based on the car from the obscure Disney Condorman movie. I have extremely vague memories of having seen this on the Disney Channel as a child.

Well crap. That Jackhammer is incredible. I was about to list my extra for sale but now I might wind up spending more money on him!
Personally, I think some "Versus" packs would be the way to go; get an Autobot, Guardian, or Maximal vs a Decepticon, Renegade, Quintesson, or Predacon Core figures , throw in a couple accessories for a MacGuffin and maybe a cardboard diorama, and bring back the Battles in a Box!Maybe Hasbro could give accessory sets another try, but throw a Core in the box instead of a Deluxe.
I know most fans resort to online shopping now, but I still lean retail.
I have never seen a single core class Dinobot on the shelf. Ever. At any store.
Let that sink in. Multiple nearby Walmart and Meijer stores. Even when visiting Target locations in bigger towns.
Zero Dinobots. Plenty of that Pretender character though.
I lean heavily toward this being a distribution issue. I know Hasbro can’t fix the “assortment” policy retail demands of them. But if your toys don’t make it to shelves…yeah, it’s gonna fail.
