I suppose the moral of the story is don't believe every rumour you hear, especially if it sounds too good to be true!
A G1 Arcee and a G1 Dinobots giftset? The more I think about it the more unlikely it sounds.
Oh well HasTak, would you at least be kind enough to give us a Galvatron Masterpiece?
On the upside this year is suddenly looking around $100 cheaper

And why is there a sabertooth tiger instead of Sludge???

The only thing missing from the Dinobot set is a Mastodon and you get the first Megazord.
And I only want the Rhinox so if he's crap, canceled.

Although is it just me or does the price seem more than a little exorbitant for these sets: 20$ for the Dinobots and 15$ for the 3-pack? That's 5$ per Mini-Con! Seriously, I know hardcore Mini-Con fans will still purchase them, but come on!
The Dollar stores in my area sell those universe mini-cons for $5 each. I agree that it's a rediculous price for them but people will buy them.

If you see a Wreckloose reissue, get him. He's a clever little figure, one of those golden nuggets of Cybertron era that slipped by a lot of people because he's a non-screen character.

It's only a guess and maybe I'm wrong, but these being called shared exclusives says to me they will be online retailers only, like the Seacons. These should be neat.

That's what they meant by "Shard ed". I picked up the BBTS seacons and they rocked! The dinobots I would have to get, the rest I would pass on. But it seems like every line and Holiday gets some repackaged Backstops, so I figured Wal-Mart would get them.

Hi - Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.
Thanks

It is unknown if Hasbro will re-solicit these items at a later date.

It was the Minicon Three pack, not the scouts.

So I'm still getting my Dinocons!
