Get that thing on clearance and get them off of the shelves!!
They shouldn't do that until after the holiday season, when this stuff usually gets sold. You DO NOT want TFs to gonon clearance regularly or else that means TFs may no longer be stocked. Them not flying off the shelves is proof that the collector market alone can't sustain retail Transformers lines like SS.
I also think it was a mistake to release this at retail. This set screamed (pardon the pun) convention exclusive, a lot of collectors were put off buying the same Voyager mold again now with hands just to get the extra bits. A lower production run with some stellar packaging at a touch higher price would've done well, maybe.
