Last waves RTS toys,why isn't hasbro selling them on HTS.com

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

Last waves RTS toys,why isn't hasbro selling them on HTS.com?

What's the sense of having a hasbrotoyshop.com web site if your not going to take advantage of all the pluses it offers.

Hasbro says retail stores aren't ordering RTS later waves due to DOTM movie toys taking over shelf space.

So hasbro is basically stuck with STOCK PILES of later waves RTS toys & later waves Generations toys.

Why doesn't hasbro just put all the stock piles of the later waves RTS & Generations on their HTS.com web site. TF fans would order these figures from the site like they were hot cakes.

TRUST ME THE STOCK PILES OF the later waves RTS & Generations would all sell out at hts.com within a week,if not a few days.

I noticed that HTS.com site needs to put NEWER TF toys in higher volume units. also who ever is in charge of site maintenance,needs to serious keep updating the toys when stuff gets sold out. because stuff hardly gets re-ordered or re-ordered extemly slow.

I wonder if the TFCC store has them. I could check, but I'm too lazy right now. As for HTS.com, everytime I've been on there they've never had the thing I want in stock so I've quit even checking. I usually get stuff either from ebay or bbts or through trades as I'm really mostly done with the brick and mortar. Having said that, Ross stores seem to be stocking the later wave RTS stuff so those will be worth checking out. I managed to get two Lugnuts today at half price. They also had Deep Dive. Didn't see any of the rest though.

From what I understand, Hasbrotoyshop isn't directly operated by Hasbro themselves. Not sure exactly what the arrangement is, but I don't think it's as simple as carting the palletes of toys over to the warehouse next door or something like that. And they DID sell all of those figures at one point, but are sold out now, with some of those entries now deleted. Yes, they even (briefly) had Windcharger.
I disappear.

If that is the case, they the system is needlessly complicated.

I just assume that Hasbro does not want to sell toys. Given their patterns of behavior, my theory makes sense.

-still hoping for a Windcharger.
