    Oy, do I even know that feeling. Every week it seems like the same Transformers I've seen locally week after week after week. GI Joe has been in the same boat with the same figures all of the time.

    Between the Joes being all dark colors and Transformers just movie related stuff I've had to go over to the Marvel Universe section to so see some toys with a bit of color and an aesthetic I can get excited about.

    Got my fingers crossed that Toy Fair will reveal something to break up the same old same old in the toy section of the retailers.

    See? See? J/K :D 

    I can relate. It's been months now, and I always see the same toys in toy stores. But my problem is my own country's economy (and socialist regime) and not Hasbro's fault.

    That's a very good point. The article say toy sales in general had a 1% decrease in 2009 comparing it to 2008. That's fantastic news. It's like: who cares there are economic problems, toys will sell. :D
