biggest fear is if the market is flooded with non selling figures, retailers will cancel shipments.

texas has "remember the almo"

i say "remember mercedes alt mode soundwave"

the last wave of dotm which include que, leadfoot, skywarp, soundwave, vortex deluxe figures and the human alliance soundwave was cancelled by retailers because of lacking dotm figure sales.

i havent even seen the newest prime figures yet!

example: my gf and her daughter.

both obsessed with the movie bee. however, they both dislike prime bee, which is a poor attempt at a recreation of bays character, down to the "cant talk" aspect, and the classic/ new cybertronian bee.

@datguy86: im in the pittsburgh area, and the selection out here alone make me miss my hometown in the bay area of CA

No this is Hasbro's fault for not realizing Bumblebee isn't as in demand as he was 5 years ago. The movies made him popular, but that doesn't explain why Hasbro isn't keeping up with what figures are actually being sold.

First edition Bulkhead just became a shelfwarmer. Not my pictures, but taken by ppl I know on their hunt. :lol:

Notice the proportion of the other PRID figures to bee, and the ammount of FE bulkheads.

Well, I just went to TRU and there were more FE than PRID... All the vehicons are getting snapped up, but arcee and cliff remains everywhere.

Trouble is, knowing the corporate retail mind, they won't make any distinction whatsoever. Transformers are Transformers as far as they are concerned, and if it doesn't sell, it gets pulled and no more are ordered.

I think Hasbro has finally managed to successfully engineer another TF crash. :-(

I'd love to see that many FE Bulkheads. There'd be at least one less when I left the store, meanwhile the abundance of Bees...grr.

I was a Target near Harrisburg Pa yesterday. They had 13 figures in deluxe size or larger. 11 of them were Bumblebee.

Annoying
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.
