I don't think Target is just sitting on a bunch of Kingdom product either. It's just their is an obvious disparity.
Either Target is ordering more Buzzworthy than other TF lines, or Hasbro is providing more Buzzworthy product to Target, than they are of their other TF lines.
I'm not blaming the Buzzworthy line for existing. It's fine, yes parents buy toys for kids, and this is a very marketable way to do it. I don't think in any way shape for form BB is taking away from Kingdom or SS. I just want to know why BB there in stores, and the other lines are not (I know we already agreed there probably is no clear answer, and to do so would only end in frustration, but I'm just trying to clarify my position)
I understand-it's not a scenario of *you only get to Pick 8* so Target picks 6 "BB" 1 "SS", and 1 WFC
It's More like, Target gets as much as they want (or Hasbro sends as much as they want...if you want to go the other way), and we are seeing in stores 6 "BB", 1 "SS", and 1 "WFC" , when the quantities should be at least enough to meet demand, which it is clearly lacking in.
I understand during the late run of TR pegs were overrun with Generations toys not selling, and Target doesn't want to lose money putting them on clearance. PotP struck a pretty good balance, even when wave 2 ran short, Hasbro produced more to meet the demand, and I praised them up and down for doing so at the time. Now... I have no idea what's going on. We always circle back to the pandemic, but if the pandemic was causing a shortage, that would affect every Transformers Product right? not just certain sub-lines.
