We are just getting Seaspray and Cosmos in the past two weeks.

I can't recall Seaspray and Cosmos being spotted in Australia, I know I haven't seen them (got Seaspray off E-Bay). As for the likes of Blitzwing and Octane, they've been few and far between, I'm just going the Takara Tomy route with them.
I did snare Sixshot from TRU a while back, apparently he was few and far between out here, no Overlord though. Dunno if anyone else in Australia has seen him or not.

Yeah, its all over the place alright but at least that means we both get some good stuff while waiting for the rest. And its not like these are skipped waves, its recent waves taking the time to be stocked in certain areas.
Not sure about the competing shelf space though, the stores just see them as product. If they have it, they will put it up. Like this pic of walmart here. Not a ton of place for TFs, but they have all that is needed for 3 lines:
These distribution woes you discuss have been happening for as long as I have been collecting and even when it was just generations and prime, distribution werent great. In the end, stores which had a healthy selection still did, and those that sucked still sucked.

That is the cleanest and most organized toy section I’ve ever seen at a Walmart. Usually **** is just thrown everywhere.

You are assuming that everyone posts their findings on our site? And your data has no info on the date.
Its better to go on google and look up first sightings for whatever toys you care for.
I just typed "the last knight found US retail" on google and found the following:
Leader Dragonstorm first found in Cerritos, California
Wave 3 Deluxes first found in San Jose, California
Exclusive TLK Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime first found at Mission Viejo, California
Need I go on?
I have never found a toy whos first sighting is Rhode Island. All toys distributed to TRU, Walmart, ect, are sent to their local distribution centers after the ships land in the west coast.

Nope, I do to! Not even when it's trashed either, I just rearrange things to look nice.

That is explained by a fan swapping out their skyshadow for an ovelord and returning it to walmart in the overlord box because they no longer have their Skyshadow receipt (or something along those lines). That is really easy to do with boxes compared to cards. I see this quite often for different figures.
o.supreme wrote:Also why would someone, (collector, or child, or just some random jerk), go to all the effort to replace just the toy? The collector card, at least was in tact.
