So apparently Toyhax is discontinuing various random G1 sets?
 

I needed to get a set for my Micromaster Hot House set, which they used to have, and now it's gone. When I emailed them they said it was "discontinued".


I mean, I can understand discontinuing certain upgrade sets because the figures they were made for just aren't in demand anymore. Like I would love to get the set for RTS Turbo Tracks, but it says "out of stock", and I'd be surprised if it ever comes back in because I can't imagine the demand for that set, for a 12 year old toy, is very high.


But, IMO, discontinuing G1 sets, the sets that this business was built on, is ridiculous. G1 toys, and their stickers are just getting older. They have plenty of other G1 Micromaster sets still available, why did THIS ONE get the axe? I finally have some discretionary cash and was looking forward to finally being able put stickers on my Hot House set, and now they're gone!?


Like I said, I can see discontinuing sets like the stuff for CHUG figures (because honestly how many of those do they actually still sell?), but they shouldn't be discontinuing the stickers for the figures that are ACTUALLY supposed to have stickers!

Not super-related to topic but I noticed this site doesn't have em as a sponsor on the right anymore

Anything to do with them going "full USA/USD"?

I missed it whenever it first happened

I haven't see it for a while but they used to have specials where they sell USD price at an equivalent CDN price, 1 USD = 1 CDN. Same at conventions too.

Yeah I remember that at the TFCons in Mississauga

Didn't see them there this past December tho? Maybe they just weren't in the same spot they normally get

There's an AMA by a former employee over on TFW, and it sounds like as equipment and/or printing processes change, they have to basically re-engineer sets. Maybe they ran out and it just hasn't been worth it to do another run?
