How many DOTM toys does your store have?

my wal-mart is insane, there must be nearly 500 deluxes ALONE in my store (it must be close to that, there are 5 separate sections jsut for transformers OVERLAODED with deluxes)

and nearly 100 voyagers.....it is insane, never in my life have i seen this many transformers in one store

so how overloaded are your stores?

if it is wave 1-3 there is NOTHING scare, hell they even restocked generations, warpath, kup, wheeljack, thundercracker, scourge, it was all there, got two scourges for myself.....had to be 30 generations figures

wal-marts are finally getting caught up after almost a year being behind, it is mind blowing

my walmart has a huge section in the aisle. a display in the toy section and a display near the one entrance closest to the toy section. Oh, and a hidden supply of deluxes on an endcap not far from the display near the entrance.

Between darkness and light, good and evil, there is the balance of Twilight

Heh. Yeah, the Wal-Mart here is just loaded to the brim with Deluxes. Leaders were selling surprisingly well, that is until they restocked them the early last week. Sentinel is the big seller out of wave 1, of course, but Bumblebee...heh.

Voyagers were selling well. Megatron and Ironhide sold out, all except for one Megatron and one Ironhide. We're now sitting on a shit ton of Optimus, four of the helicopter guy, and two Shockwaves.

And now there are floor displays, three pallets, an endcap and an aisle. I sure hope the movie gets people interested in buying, because they won't stock new anything for a long, long time if these don't sell.

I know Hasbro wanted to make sure everyone had enough stock to cover their bases, but the bases are loaded and everyone's left the seats. lol

I just hope that stuff starts clearing out fast before Walmart starts consolidating displays, cause there is nothing in these waves that I still want or need. Really, really hoping that this doesn't stop us from having to chase after figures, but I think we could be screwed on HA figures again this time around.

Went into TRU the other day and they had a 20+ foot area by the door that was all DOTM, I just stood there thinking "You guys are so not going to sell all this stuff."

I can easily walk into any of the 3 local Walmarts and pick up 10 Leader BB and 30+ Voyager OP.

It sounds like stores are once again counting on the movie toys to move big time.

There's one super walmart by my that has three different TF sections. They're trying their hardest to make it a treasure hunt to find what you're looking for.

The regular isle has wave 1 & 2 items, but no HA basics/Legends.

An end cap 2 isles down with HA basics/legends, wave 2 & 3 of the deluxes, wave 1 voyagers and wave 1 leaders.

Finally the last section by the main enterance is loaded with various TF licensed merchandise along with wave 2 voyagers, and wave 1-2 of everything else.

-Soon to be King of the Animated Road!
