Ok, so December 2007 is going to resemble August 2007 where everyone has empty shelves again.

It is nice to see that TransFormers made it to the list.
Though they were at number 12 of 12....
I have to disagree with Toy Wishes Magazine though...
Ultimate Bumblebee might be coveted as a Christmas present (might!)
...but the arm blasters? Seriously? They've already pulled a rollback on all of the blasters and helmets at one of my local Wal-Marts!
...I don't think there will be any short supply of those things. Bumblebee, maybe. Blasters, no.

That's what I did with the Ben 10 Omnitrix.
That's not such a bad idea, I'll be laid off by then
and will be looking to make some easy bux.
If the toy supply is low I guess the kiddies will be getting
socks.

This is what it's like every December... it just so happens this December that TFs are in demand... last year it was Nintendo Wii and TMX Tickle Me Elmo...

I only need to get my hands on a Leader Prime, and then I'm done until the new Universe line. That sucks about the shortage, but its inevitable.

So I won't be able to get American Transformers for Christmas? O well. A MIB Victory Saber will have to do.

Wii was sold out for like eight months after launch (haven't looked around here in awhile), and are still selling well. The Wii isn't a flash in the pan, it's probably gonna be the main console of this generation.
And I actually hope that it's just "movie hype" for Transformers this season. I haven't gotten any(partially due to none being there), but still, if I did decide to collect them, I hope they won't go up in value cause of scalpers, which I doubt they will.

Now I really wish I got all of those Wave 1 toys before the movie was released.
And i'm guessing that Wave 2 toys like Cliffjumper, and all those other ones are going to take ages to come to Canuckland.

The only things I want from now til the new Universe line are Incinerator,First Strike Optimus & Commander Cody/Turbo Tank. I have a feeling I'm not gonna have any trouble finding them.

This only means to me that the TF shortage is likely to continue.
Lame, because I'd really like to have Dreadwing, Longarm, '08 Bumblebee, and maybe even Arcee by the time I turn 33.
