Not at the same time, mind you...

Yeah, but it always seems like you get things weeks before us folks in Madison.

It might have to do with competition too.

Here in West Bend...I got a big Wal mart store almost all to myself unless one of you guys trucks in to town.

Same with KB toys. Same with K-mart. Same with Shop-Ko.

It's good to be the king.

The reason we seem to get new stuff in BD first...when we get shipments, we don't get the huge pallet displays of Supercons, or the endcap PDQ's of figures in bulk. We get 1 or 2 cases, and they sell. When the new assortments are ready to ship, we get them because our pegs aren't filled full of product. The computer system orders 99+% of our merchandise, and it doesn't recognize old figures from new. It simply sees "Supercons" or "Maxcons", etc. Our system even groups the Dinobots in the Supercon assortment. Clear as tar...

If it was Star Wars or Hot Wheels cars I'd have to agree. However, there seems to be little competition for TF's down here (unless someone comes down and buys our Nemesis Primes

). I have to agree with sdtessmann though. When we do get stuff.. we get a lot and it usually sits on the pegs for ages.
