Make it so.


It's going to happen. Seibertron posted that he is going to take all the photos and send them to hasbro at one time.
An email from him might have some clout, however, being inundated with emails from around the country would also have impact. DO IT ANYWAY.

Damn, that's a lot of Bee's, Kanrabat. I'm not sure if the situation in my neck of the woods is better or worse, but the local TRU doesn't stock nearly as many Bee's...then again, they hardly stock any TF's, period.

Things in my area look like they are starting to turn around. Targets and Walmarts are staring to get a better mix of figures left on the pegs. I see Ratchet, Arcee, Soundwave, Hot Shot and Knock out figures on the pegs. One of the local Targets about a month ago had 16 Bumblebee figures and 1 Cliffjumper on the pegs for a couple of weeks, but now they are down to about 6 Bees, and have been restocking series 3 on a regular basis. 1 of the 2 Toys R us stores in town is still bad though. 10 out of 12 of the Prime figures on the shelf are Bumblebee.

I am in with you all on this " Sop the Bee-Sh@!" movement. I am going to send my own pics in too. I don't know why we all didn't think of this before. Well, it's better late then never.

I was going to say "I WIN (LOSE)!!!", but I think Kanrabat's still takes the cake...maybe? Anyway, Metropolis at Metrotown Toys R Us in Burnaby BC:

And to think i was going to stop in there yesterday and see if things had changed. Good thing i didn't waste my time. It hasn't improved at all since i was last there and posted a pic a month ago!

Ridiculous.

@Kirbenvost....the TRU on Broadway near Granville isn't any better. Bleak days indeed. With that much BB stock in this town and that being just at one store, I don't see us getting anything new anytime soon. Honestly, that metro town TRU has over 140 BB's sitting on the shelves and hanging on the pegs and with all the other stores basically looking the same way...........bleak days indeed. #-o

How do they get rid of that much stock? It's not going to sell so what's the contingency plan in place for stores that overstock like this?
How can someone so grossly miscalculate their stock?

Another Walmart, in Kannapolis NC. I'd say this one looks better, but I think saying it looks the least bad is more accurate.

Weah, we Canadians were lucky enough to have the Prime First Editions... along with that shitload of FE Bees.

Sigh...

Will we EVER get the rest of the Prime RiD toys meaning Voyager Blukhead and Starscream, and deluxes that are NOT Bee, Wheeljack, Soundwave, and Cliffjumper?

Not unless you can convince some millionaire to buy up all the excess Bumblebees and send them to a landfill, probably. :/
