Hasbro has really ripped a few peoples' undies by packaging Tracks in with the new case assortment (especially here in NZ where you can still walk into a store and by Tracks in the original packaging), made worse as they sacrificed Swerve to do it.
The problem is that Hasbro apparently shipped 90% of the cases with the original packaging version of Tracks to New Zealand. No wonder the Americans had a hard time finding him.
Meister was apparently worse. I've been told you just got a case with Meister and NOTHING ELSE BESIDES HIM in it. And shipping them to the US is also not working, because shipping costs are too high. Sigh.

That was a rather interesting move on Hasbro's part. Still I would prefer they did 50% of new cases with Swerve and the other 50% with Tracks to at least give the rest of the world a chance.
Edit: having done some very rough maths, I estimate it would cost the american end consumer about US$25 to US$30 per alternator if I was to ship one full case (4) over, with the amount going down somewhat when the number of cases increases and shipping goes down. Makes me wonder why shipping soemthing to NZ costs more than the item is worth from the US...:rolleyes:

i have honestly never seen these before in this area:
Meister (Jazz)
Tracks (blue or yellow)
Swerve
Grimlock
Hound
Decipticharge
Prowl
so i feel everyone's pain honestly
I only found 20th anni. Optimus Prime once, and i was luck to get Dead End. If i could find another, I would jsut honestly repaint him and say "Sunstreaker" and i was even lucky to find Wheeljack, Shockblast (Shockwave), smokescreen *which is the most damned popular one to have in stores apparently here because they stock him all the time only*, and a few others that aren't on the list above i mentioned. i am finding it quite pitiful when even a super center doesn't have what i am looking for

allegedly he is showing up a lot still at wal marts, but i havent seen him around, well, whenever he came out the first time. i think for the movie, or beforehand, they will bring him out again. hasbro just loves doing that. but i will say this, "HASBRO, bring more toys here!":wall:

Unless you are shopping from hobby shops that import Japanese Binaltech toys, you wouldn't have seen the yellow version of Tracks on the shelves either way.
