As a merchandiser who's stocked Toys R Us shelves I've seen product fly out the door so fast I've had to fill the gaps the next day, regardless of if I think it would sell or not. Surprisingly, little kids (who I'm guessing these are aimed at) may just have different taste in toys than us adults do. Shocking, right?

Hasbro boss: Okay, who's the smart-ass who greenlighted these things?
Silence.
Hasbro boss: Sigh... Now I need to find some mean to market those robots nobody know that look like nothing.
A timid intern raise his hand.
Hasbro boss: What now, Junior?
Junior: We could market them as Transformers?
Hasbro boss: I dont see any TF here. These bots look like nothing. You expect people to buy that?
Junior: F...fingers crossed?
Hasbro boss. Whatever. It's better than nothing. Junior, you can keep your job.
Junior: Thank... you?
Hasbro boss: Now get back to work.
