As luck would have it, TFWiki has an article on Market Six, which includes the term "emerging channels"
Better start looking at Kohl's, Meijer, Big Lots!, Tuesday Morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's... basically any store that isn't Toys 'R Us, Walmart, and Target.

Plus, given the way Walgreens' distribution model works, cases of 8 make perfect sense - regional or local DCs break up cases, and send only 1 or 2 figures per line to each store. There will never be 8 of the same figure on a Walgreens shelf.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Slingshot was a jerk but I can kinda understand why people care about him.
But what the heck has Wildrider ever done the dude is barley more of a character then Offroad is?

For reals. Been going to comic book stores since the 80's. They do have a tendency to price certain items at "collector prices".

No thanks, I'll keep my Takara preorder. The colors look better anyway,
For the record, I'm a guy who couldn't care less. New guys, old guys, whatever. Fiction has never had much baring on how I play. I'm just happy to have nice combiners at this scale, and I'll scramble city all day.william-james88 wrote:If the designs for all the toys were less G1, ala FOC Bruticus, then I would be totally for new characters replacing others since the aesthetics are all changed. But these are like mini masterpieces, being closer to the G1 cartoon aesthetic than previous classics figures. That being the case, it is kind of odd to have a totally different character break the theme of toys mirroring their G1 look.

But, I would argue that, esthetics alone, this entire toy line not only conforms to and shares their contemporary "rebooted" look, they all conform to and share a G1y esthetic also. Even the new characters. I get that they break tradition, or change a silhouette. The ONLY thing that makes them different is their character.
It seems that everybody is ok with Groove not being Defensor's leg anymore, right?

I'll admit I'm normally pretty slavish to G1, and not everybody is, that's their thing. With the MP line in full swing, I kind of keep to that, and try to keep my mouth shut on the other lines. I have to say that I'm not really bothered by the new look of the Protectobots, and the Stunticons really didn't bother me all that much. What really got my undies in a bunch was putting a helicopter with four jets. That's really what it boils down to. In no way does that work. Different flight ceilings, cruising speeds, just ARGH!
