would that make the toy destroyed?
Or.... just it would make the toy awesome?

They didn't rename it, they mixed up the pictures in the slides.
The picture for tank mode is battle car mode while battle station mode is showing tank mode. That means whatever his real battle station mode is it hasn't been shown yet and he has six alt modes for seven total modes.Ironhidensh wrote:Mr Skram wrote:I've only seen one PMOP in stores.

Weird. Leader Prime and Blaster are both shelf warming in northern Indiana areas.
Between two Walmarts I've only seen three PMOPs and two Blasters since release. Furthermore I've never seen both at the same time and they're always selling out leaving weeks of no Leaders (aside from CW Skywarp) on the shelves. I still haven't seen wave 2 Voyagers or Leaders either. Plus I've mentioned before that my area completely skipped Titan Masters wave 2, instead jumping to revision wave 2 (Apeface, Brawn, Loudmouth, and Nightbeat) so no Clobber or Skytread for me.

My TRU would never have me as an employee, I think they hate me (and my awesome legal cost saving methods!).
Anyways, calling anything from TR shelfwarming is absurd. The line is way too young and its impossible to know if the stock you keep seeing week after week is the same stock or a restock.

And if the TRU employee tells me a TR stock has been there for like a month or two (it falls under the definition of "months"). So technically it is shelfwarming. One month, then it ain't. 2 months up it's months then it is shelfwarming...by the definition.
Now if you will demand TRU inventory records, from your's truly then I'd be happy to oblige but only if you also demand it too from other posters who use the term.

None of that matters. A shelfwarmer is not defined by how long he is around. In the 80s you kept seeing Ramjet year after year but its not because he was shelfwarming, hasbro just kept pumping these toys out, rereleasing them, and they kept being bought and restocked.
A true shelfwarmer is a toy that is still on shelves when it can no longer be orderd, hence why the definition expresses that it was to be from another line when having the new line next to it. A good example would be ROTF toys still being around when DOTM is out, or all those simplified AOE tfs still being available when The last Knight toys come around. Those are shelfwarmers. You can all have your own views on a shelfwarmer and I wont police it. But if anyone wants to use it by its actual term, then the months is not as relevant as them appearing alongside a new line of toys. When you look at it that way, there arent that many shelfwarmers really. And plus, its not a great word to label a toy. I mean, we are all hoping parents and collectors find these TR toys this christmas season right? So why would there be despair to still see PMOP on the shelves?

Well then you can be an excellent judge on this. From what you have read, what would make sense to call a shelfwarmer to you. Would anything from Titans return currently being on the shelf really count as shelfwarming?
