So US has Bee warmers and Singapore has Bulk warmers and Romania has Bee hungry? Is it Hasbro idiot or the retail stores idiot? Or both.

We all know that kids are the number 1
purchaser of Transformers and Bumblebee is what they
want. Well, why they Hell aren't they buying them?
Damn kids!

so do i. if he is so popular then why are there 18 damn BBs in one store? and the stock stays like that for months. damn kids........

My kids want Cyberverse Cliffjumper and there are none. My kids want Cyberverse Knock Out and there are none. My kids want Cyberverse Breakdown and there are none. So don't blame them. It's not their fault. They don't even get to the toy isle as much as we do.

Your children don't factor in with the norms. They have a collector for a parent. They have an inside tip.
When I was a kid, I didn't know what was coming out until:

a) I had seen it in person

b) There was advertisement for it.

I have realized that the modernization of America has made it more difficult for children to gain wages so they can absorb some of these accursed swarm of Bees.

You see, with the introduction of methods like machining to accomplish a goal faster we have lost too many skilled workers, like the children.
Back in the old days, you could work those little rugrats in the fields
pickin' potatoes and bean pods. Earnin' their worth for just one Bumblebee.
Now at the current rate for a Bumblebee divided by 10 cents a day for toiling in the fields they should have enough for Bumblebee in about 130 days(that's with no days off ) + a bit more to pay taxes.
BUT THESE KIDS AREN'T EVEN WORKING!!!
How can we expect the economy to pick up when we are simultaneously selling these hot items but denying those who would buy the opportunity for capital we can't stand for this. If we want these Bees removed WE MUST PUT THESE NIMBLE, ENERGETIC YOUTHS TO WORK!
Down with machines!

Ironic that to buy the toys we love, we must do what is right and destroy that which we love

Discharge, are you RPing someone as in touch with reality as the Hasbro execs who keep putting all these BBs out to stores?

So, you would disagree?
If I'm not gonna buy it. And you're not gonna buy it. The purchase lands on the children which these toys were made for.
As the internet will prove kids love Bumblebee, kids want to be Bumblbee:

(Their costumes are kind of weak though, they don't even have battle masks, sheesh!)
If these Bumblebees are to move from the toys shelves to the lives of the kids,
well, I think we know what to do.

If you knew that the children could have this:

wouldn't you give them the means?

I'd rather just pay some kids to go into a shop and smash all the BBs they can find. So long as they're young enough they're not going to do any time.

Well, there's that option too. But let's take the easy road.

The scene at Toys R us today.

That bottom row was about half Bumblebees and half Cliffjumpers.

At least you have Cyberverse Cliffjumper. I don't think I've ever run into one.

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.

Some redistribution of wealth is in order... I have FE Bulkhead but I'm sure lots of others here would love you forever for helping them out.

i don't know that sure sounds like the easy road to me
