Transformers Toy NewsKapow Toys are reporting, via their website FullMetalHero.com, that the RRP for Transformers toys are set to rise with the release of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon line.

"This has yet to be confirmed directly by Hasbro but Forbidden Planet UK have listed the following prices via their wholesale arm as the official price points, the wholesale prices supplied which we cannot give out would back up this price point if retailers are to make any money

1) Deluxe - £14.99

2) Voyager - £29.99
3) Leader - £59.99
4) Cyberverse Ark set - £44.99
5) Cyberverse Legends Basic - £5.99
6) Cyberverse Scouts - £12.99

Now this seems like a crazy move on Hasbros part if true, especially after retailing RTS between - £10.95 - £12.95 on the domestic market.

Transformers Toy News

I a move which would make Hasbro happy, TakaraTomy have asked some Japanese resellers to stop  stocking 3rd Party Products (unlicenced items sold as Transformers).  One such retailer, Red Murcury, has cancelled all pre-orders of particular items after receving notification form TakaraTomy to stop selling 3rd party products due to copyright and trademark violations.

With the devasation caused by the Tsunami and both recent earthquakes in Japan, this move would help protect legitimate Japanese business, at a time that their country and economy needs it.

It will be interesting to see what other steps are taken.  Will TakaraTomy look to stop more items, what does this mean for the WonderFest (though they are all licenced goods) and will Hasbro start to try and stop US retailers from stock the non-official and unlicensed items (with the run up to Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it's impending increase on Transformers sales).

The following items appeared on TakaraTomy's list

  1. Kup Head Set
  2. SFX Scouting Force X - Camera Set
  3. Primary School: Primars
  4. Head Robots: Blood
  5. Bee 01
  6. CDMW-16

Website Updates

It brings me great pleasure to be able to kick off what should be an exciting Spring and Summer to visitor of Transformers At The Moon with three new Transformers Toys image galleries. Being a European based website we felt that it would only be fitting to kick off our "Summer Special" as the Transformers community builds towards the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon by adding three galleries of European exclusive figures.

First up, we have added an image gallery of Motorvator Gripper.  This image gallery contains comparison images to Brainmaster Blacker as well images showing him combined with both Braver and Laster.

The second and third galleries are of something a little special and yet also related to the Motorvator Gripper gallery.  What are they?  Well they are image galleries of a paint-sample of Motorvator Flame and an image gallery of a paint-sample of Motorvator Lightspeed!  What is a paint-sample, you may be asking yourself, well when Hasbro decide to recolour a figure with a different colour scheme, hand-paint a mock-up version using the existing figures mold.  In this case Hasbro Europe took the Japanese Brainmaster figures Braver and Laster and hand-painted them into the proposed colour schemes for their European releases.  We picked up these figures from the head of Hasbro Europe who was also responsible for presenting these toys to the heads of the individual European territories at the time.  The figures had not been transformed since that presentation until we bought them, which meant that they are very stiff.

The image galleries of these unique figures include comparisons with their Japanese counter-parts but not their final European release, as we do not own those yet.  These figures are from an import period in the history of the Transformers line, as it was a time that support for Transformers had dried up within the US, but it was the lines popularity both within Europe and Japan that kept Transformers going and would eventually lead on the release of Generation 2.

Transformers Toy News

The TFCC updated their website last night with the following announcement and preview image of their upcoming exclusive figure G2 Ramjet.

"We have received the final Ramjet sample and have posted it to the club toys section. Of interest, it appears that Takara actually remolded his nose cone in rubber. From a close look, it is actually a new molded piece and the nose cone is in fact different from the Classics release. In addition to that, each Ramjet will come with actual stickers affixed to the shoulder and feet sections. This is truly a G2 Ramjet homage and will look AMAZING in any TF collection!

This item will be available for Pre-order later this month. If you are not yet a club member, now is the time to join! You will be able to purchase this great figure, Animated Transtech Cheetor and you will get the FREE 2012 Membership Incentive figure (to be revealed at BotCon 2011!)

Toy Industry News

The Associated Press have published the following article regarding the pay packet of Hasbro CEO  Brian Goldner.

"NEW YORK – Brian Goldner, the CEO of the nation's No.2 toy maker, Hasbro Inc., received a pay package valued at $23 million for 2010, nearly triple his pay package in 2009, due to hefty stock and option awards designed to keep him with the company, according to a regulatory filing.

Most of the package came in the form of stock grants and stock options worth a total of $18.8 million when they were granted.

Goldner's performance-based bonus edged down 4 percent, to $2.6 million from $2.7 million, because Hasbro's revenue fell slightly during the year and did not meet company targets.

Some of the stock grants and options Goldner, 47, received are tied into a new agreement that extends his employment with Hasbro through 2014 with Hasbro. That contract boosted his base salary to nearly $1.2 million from $1 million in 2009.

Most of the stock options and grants were intended to entice Goldner, who has been CEO since 2008 and has been with Hasbro for 11 years, to remain at the company.

The grants "address the risk that Mr. Goldner could be recruited away from the company by a competitive offer in the future," Hasbro said in a filing it made Wednesday evening with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The grants also help offset pension payments Goldner won't receive because the company froze its pension plans in 2007.

Goldner's other compensation and perks included $9,846 in above-market returns on deferred compensation and $420,662 in matching contributions to savings accounts and retirement accounts and for financial planning, legal and tax preparation services.

Pawtucket, R.I.-based Hasbro's 2010 net income climbed 6 percent while its revenue dipped 2 percent to $4 billion, hurt by difficult comparisons with 2009, when Hasbro sold toys tied in with two summer blockbusters, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra." It also faced an unexpected drop in sales in December around the crucial holiday period.

Its share price jumped 47 percent during the year.

The Associated Press formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards for 2010 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options."
