Wow huge displays everywhere outside of Canada nothing in Toronto all we got here was 2 pegs of kingdom that where sold out in minutes nothing of studio series’s ,truly unfair of Hasbro always leaving Canada out of all transformers and exclusives,had to preorder my stuff from btts,pay shipping and customs just to get them ,again Hasbro shame on you
I picked up Gorilla Prime on Friday at a Walmart in Maryland only had two not that many TFs either and I hate going into Walmart. Its funny the box is bigger on Gorilla Prime than the actual figure is.
it\'s soooo mind boggling how the US has empty shelves for transformers and yet the rest of the world has plenty of inventory :|
Oh come on we've got Cyberverse Cyberverse Cyberverse Cyberverse Cyberverse and Cyberverse I also saw 2 Grapples today and Cyberverse Cyberverse and Cyberverse There was something else too.....oh yeah Cyberverse!
And very neatly placed. I haven’t seen that many multiples of WFC line. Usually it’s just a few boxes only
I found wave one of the deluxes and voyagers of the Studio Series 86 at my local Walmart like a week ago. They were so fresh, I pulled them off the pallet. I made a post about finding them here: <a href="Kentucky Transformers Sightings">Kentucky Transformers Sightings</a>. Check it out.
...funny thing is, here in NorCal, i’ve only seen the Studio Steries 86 deluxe figs physically on the shelves at one Target on January 1st and that was it! Voyagers randomly like twice and the WFC kindom figs like twice...and then a drought in the past two weeks...with SS86 grimlock making cameos and then getting a push back from Target employees on street date (smh)
If you follow the ToyArk board, you'll see it's not just TransFormers in that situation. Stores in the US just don't seem to grasp the connection between stocking product and selling product.
Yet if you follow reality, you'll see that the reason those shelves are empty is because the stores already sold it to people and otherwise crafty collectors who line up and come in and buy up all the new product the minute it hits the shelf (and sometimes even before it gets that far).
