Now it's obvious kids arnt buying the BB and primes cuz they sit on the pegs the only figures missing are the figures collectors want. I have 2 sons and they don't give a crap about TF and neither do their friends all they play is beyblade even at school all their friends trade parts with them. Now this is in my area maybe more kids like TF in yours.
It's your area. Not only are Beyblades shelfwarming here, I've seen tons of kids walk up to the TF Prime section, look through the figures, and walk away sad because it's all BB and CJ. Everyone of their parents I've talked to says they want Arcee(since, y'know, the show tends to be heavily about her and Jack at times). Kids DO want the figures for characters they're familiar with, which tends to mean the main characters for their shows.
Hasbro and stores seem to assume because BB was popular with kids in one franchise that it would carry through, but kids tend to be fickle creatures over the long term.
