This thread has been removed at the request of Hasbro US.

There will be no more reviews of Revenge of the Fallen toys from me in the foreseable future. Thank you for your understanding.

Sadly, I also removed all replies by accident... sad.gif

Soooo... they go after a review on our little site? But STOLEN chinese toy reviews on the larger sites can stay?

I just don't see the logic in that. Or has this been yet another occasion where Hasbro Nordic has done something that the higher ups on Hasbro US decided that it was not okay after all?

What's the point in sending toys out to a representative when you're not allowed to review it !
TFW2005 and youtube floats with reviews of ROTF toys ! but I guess it's ok when you're american !
Galvatron has only one comment: HASBRO US. - THIS IS BAD COMEDY angry.gif thumbdown.gif sneaky2.gif

I'm tempted to get a ROTF figure and post my review - because it's my right to make one and copyrights would be on behalf of me.
Seriously things like that p*ss me off.

Couldn't agree more hmmm.gif

Am unfamiliar with the details about this decision, but my personal oppinion is that "big news" like this apparently is reserved for the US side of things ONLY... This is the TF:Animated screening all over again: Hasbro Nordic gets an okay from higher up, and then just about as things are getting ready, we get nixed by the big wigs across the pond.

And yeah, it doesn't make sense with all the stolen samples already floating around everywhere; heck, ROTF preview Soundwave has already been released officially(!) in France, dagnammit, and he was the next planned review for tonight... And then Starscream after that, BTW - another toy that we've already seen. So there we have it, what I had planned to be exclusive content for the NTFA getting nixed by Hasbro US. Again... angry.gif

I am getting a bit frustrated about this... what the heck are we then supposed to do to attract new and old fans in the Nordic regions, when we aren't considered important for Hasbro US to get a little slack? I'm almost ready to throw in the towel now... sad.gif

(Again I have to stress, that this is Hasbro US, not Hasbro Nordic - Nordic has been extremely great with helping getting this underway and actually supplying the toys etc., so still: Big thanks to them again for supporting us like they do and wanting to make things happen!)

Exactly what I thought as well. Is there any chance we could learn more about the request? Was there a specifik reason stated?

My personal thoughts right now are that this is VERY un-proffesional by Hasbro US. This blatant censorship and discrimination tastes so bad. If they're going to regulate us, regulate TFW and youtube as well for crying out loud!

Nope. Apparently this just went against some sort of protocol they have regarding showing product that isn't due for another 2 months.

Go figure... hmmm.gif
