Greetings!

Okay, maybe a little silly b/c I know this is a hot item, but has anyone found where to get that DVD box set with the final MASS Device part? I think Alpine is in it.

Anyway, the primary reason I'm asking is if anyone has seen it at the HTS? It's nearly time for another round of emails to the Hasbro folks and I aim at asking about this. The last time they mentioned about it, it was that it's up to the stores to put them out on the shelves, that they were shipping. Thing is, I haven't found it on the HTS, ya know.. not even Hasbro's own store has it on the shelves. If the folks who produce the darn toys don't even list it in their store, ... grr.. where's the logic in that?

According to a past Q&A, Hasbro said that retailers couldn't stock the last pack until all the shelfwarming ones sold...

I just saw the shelf warming DVD packs on clearance at Kmart. I saw the last pack on HTS. It went from "Coming soon" to "Out of Stock"...Like a lot of stuff on there, I never saw it actually offered. I have such a hate for that crap. You figure if ANYWHERE has it, HTS should! And it shouldn't sell out in 3 min like BLIZZCON tickets!

I think it was a ploy by Hasbro to make us buy 16 crappy figures and then take the big weenie when the distribution of that last set was non existent! I had to buy mine off Ebay and it cost almost double what retail would have been!

HTS, like Hasbro in general SUCKS!

I had to get Sonneil to ship it to me off ebay.the seller wouldn't ship to canada; so I had it shipped to him and then to me.
I never seen it locally here at all.

Build-a-things only work if it's all released at once.

And build-a-things kinda suck anyway. Take Star Wars, there's Wal-Mart exclusive 2-packs, most of which include one nearly worthless repack figure,...but you have to buy all 5 to get the parts to make Dark Trooper.

Me, as a casual fan might buy a Dark Trooper figure. But I will not hunt down Wal-Mart exclusives and pay nearly $100 to get parts to one deluxe-sized robot. Could've saved some hassle and slapped the figure in a box for $15 or whatever.

Same with the MASS device. Could've been a vehicle box set with some figures.

Don't give them any ideas

Funny you should mention that! I saw a group of these on clearance at Walmart last night and they had at least 3 complete sets of all 5! I was stunned!!

I never seen the last pack. Frank sent me Alpine and that's that. Honestly, I really don't even care about the last piece now. I rather like what I have now for the funky cannon thang!


Ebay's about the only route these days, right?

I dunno -- My Marvel Legends Galactus, Sentinel, and Apocalypse beg to differ with you.

I actually love that they made the M.A.S.S. Device (and Weather Dominator)! I thought it was one of the most inspired ideas in the entire 25th line! Plus, I really like most of the repaints from these sets -- Stalker, Roadblock, Destro, Major Bludd, P.O.D. Snake-Eyes, chrome Cobra Commander, and Duke (after a head-swap) have all become my primary, default versions of the characters!

To answer the original question -- yes, they were on HTS, for like ten minutes one day. I have the shipping invoice to prove it. I just got lucky and saw a heads-up about them being available on another forum. I ordered immediately, as the second wave of DVD packs had been hard enough to find in my area. Other than the one that I own from HTS, I have never, ever seen another.
