Except I've seen Terraxadon and Aimless all of one time in a store, and that was right before I started getting Siege figures at all.
One one of my hunts I ran into the regional Hasbro rep (in a Walmart). He told me that the store manager who orders product has a lot to do with what figures you actually see on shelves. In a microcosm, it might seem to some that people aren't buying the Battlemasters. I might not agree with that, whereas I'd have to agree if we were discussing Micromasters.
They are totally G1, but I still have no interest in them. They just seem out of place to me in the line.
the battlmasters essentially don't sell at most stores I go to, they generally shelfwarm so hard it hurts; micromasters have only done marginally better in my area
