Walmart Exclusives to come to ASDA?

Phill created a thread on our message board two days about regarding ASDA importing the US WalMart Exclusives. Well Phill posted an update on what he had been told and here it is
We have recieved numerous requests and questions to obtain some of the Exclusive figures our Parent company provides to it"s USA stores.

We have recieved so many e-mails mentioning them, that it is now being discussed by some of the Purchasing Managers.

The problems we have encountered are that no-one knows if we can simply buy them from the US warehouses and have them delivered to the UK warehouses, or if we have to go through Hasbro UK for them.
A few of the ones you mentioned are no longer avaliable to US Wal Mart stores. If we wished to stock them we would have to get Hasbro UK involved.

Also the e-mails are no indication of sales, as the toys themselves would be aimed at children, and we feel the e-mails are coming from older fans who were around for the original Transformers.

I"ll let you know if there is any additional news on them.

You can read more and comment on our message board here

3H Planned Exclusives followup

TFormers received some more information on the 3H Exclusives that The AllSparked showed off a few days ago. Here is what they heard..
"These images you have seen are part of the planned exclusives for the 2005 year. These sketches where part of a 75 page proposal sent to Hasbro for the renewal of the convention license in 2005.
Brawn and Roadbuster, as you see, where split molded with different heads from the Strongarm mold. Each would have came with a new Energon weapon, much like the weapons featured with the Energon basics on shelves currently, as well as the Energon axe that came with the Strongarm mold originally. Brawn would have came with Energon gauntlets that fit over his fist in robot mode - Brawn is the Wreckers" demolitionist specialist. Roadbuster would have came with an assault rifle based on the G1 design that came with the original toy.
Devcon is remolded from Energon Slugslinger. The remolded parts that you see are the head, based on the G1 cartoon design. However, what you do not see are the wing mounted Energon missles/gun turrets that would have given the toy an almost entirely different look in vehicle mode.
Hot Spot/Defensor is obviously in close to finished form here. The paint masters where with Hasbro as stated at the 2004 Organizers" panel. If the convention license would have been lost, this would have been the 2005 Collector"s Club exclusive. This figure would have been made, in some fashion, for the fans.
BW Megatron is obviously remolded from RID Megatron. The head would have been completely new, and there where plans as well for the feet/dragon heads to be remolded to more closely resemble the TM2 Megatron design. What you don"t see in these designs however is the planned additional accessory ... Megatron"s favorite bathtime buddy ... his rubber duck."

Black Tracks as Ravage?

TFWorld2005 are reporting that a Black Alternator Tracks with a panther head has shown up in a store in Philadelphia that sells stolen Testshots. Tracks was originally planned to be released in Yellow and then a blue recolour later, but due to the Alternator version not being originally released in Yellow, this toy had to gain a third colour scheme. Could this be it? If it is, you can expect EBay auctions within the coming months. We advise everyone to take this very much as a rumour at this stage.

Metrodome Feedback to fans

Two questions appear on Metrodomes feedback setion asking about Beast Wars and Beast Machines. Metromdome believe that Universal own the rights to these and they are waiting on a call back from them on their plans.

Also you may have seen some people report that Metrodome do not use re-mastered versions of the Transformers series, this is not true. Metrodome order their remasters frmo a lab in the US. Their Season 1 release will NOT be using the Maverick masters that were indeed not re-mastered.

Metrodome confirm that after the Movie they are still working towards releasing the Japanese HeadMasters series. Ideally they would like to release the Japanese series in order with both "Star-TV" dub and Japanese dub with English Subtitles. They do have the rights to HeadMasters, Masterforce and Victory.
