So I went out to my local Best Buy this morning about 20 minutes before the store opened. I was the second person in the store and the first person buying Transformers.
However one thing I noticed was a severe lack of the voyager figures. In fact they only had 2 of each. I thankfully was able to grab one of each, but I wonder if anyone else's Best Buy got so few of them? Someone asked an employee while I was there and he said that is all they got. |

Unless they stock up on more, expect eBay prices to skyrocket. | |

Same thing apparently happened at two other Best Buys in town.
Also, aside from employee scalpers, all the local stores only got in 4-6 of the toys, and of those, very few of them were Megatrons.
Is this another case of misjudging demand, or is Best Buy pulling their usual "limited numbers to keep customers pissed off and visiting multiple stores" crap? | |

They usually get high volumes of in-demand merchandise. By 10:15 they had about 4 of each. Glad I got up early.

I'm guessing the smaller stores received 10, with bigger/higher selling stores receiving more. I saw at least 20, maybe 30 sets at the Arlington Heights Best Buy.
And yup, there were just two sets of metallic figures out from what I could see. However, I didn't go looking elsewhere in the store to see if they were on some endcap. | |
