I'm sure certain characters (Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron, Prime, etc.), the fan favorites, will sell much better than others and be harder to find...
But in general, do you think the movie being out is going to have a major effect on the line?
There's not too many figures from the movie line coming out soon that I want (just 08 BB and FAB Frenzy...and I may get Leader Megs, I dunno on him), but seeing as the ones I do are likely to be the ones everyone wants...
So yeah, just curious what you think.

That seems like a logical business decision to me - of course, these are stores that have not always made the most rational decisions, as one might normally expect...
I went to TRU yesterday to pick up a TFTM Prime, expecting them all to be gone - and I was close, as there were only two left on the shelf. Megatron, however, looks to be the shelfwarmer of this series, as my local TRU had at least 8 of them.

With the movie being to hyped up and in the spotlight I'm sure Hasbro produced an ungoldy amount on product to keep up with hopeful demand. | |

#8 | | We should get more letter Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 1,944 Location: Southwest Washington | Toys R Us had a little table, I guess there's no other word for it, that used to have a bunch of voyagers on it, I went to it yesterday, and it was covered with 2 liter Pepsis. Dunno if they were running out of voyagers or what.  | |

These items will replenish. These are located on the lower left hand side. AS and AD take approximately two weeks to come in from the time the system orders. The W or WH (cannot remember) takes 2-3 days to replenish. If you see a GO then its a one time offer and 99% of the time there will not be anymore of that item. Hope this helps the hunters out there. | |
