No clue. I can only take a guess as to why Spider-Man 3 toys aren't selling: I'd bet it's because people are every bit as interested as I am in buying them. Assuming this is true, it means they're not interested at all.

Tranformers are in stock in your area?

Apparent sarcasm aside, Bumblebee shelfwarming the way Spider-Man does requires that Bumblebee actually be in stock and available for purchase. Haven't been to wal-mart since last weekend, but at that time all they had was ultimate bumblebee and 20th anniversary prime.

Haven't been into Target or TRU in ages. If you were wrong here, though, I'd think hasbrotoyshop.com would be doing better than they are at having TF merchandise up as well.
And if they had anything current last few times I went looking, odds are it wouldn't be an issue with me because I'd already have all the figures I really want.

they are trying to hype up the crappy toys to clear them out!
