Re: POTP Wave 2
IMO there are a few major factors which are affecting the distribution of the figures:
1. TRU Bankrupcty. The reason we are not seeing them at TRU is simply due to the fact of the TRU bankruptcies and the uncertain future of TRU Canada. Now that TRU Canada is safe maybe we will see better distribution.
2. No New Movies. Toy sales are closely related to movie and cartoon releases. There have been no new Transformer movies and any existing Transformer recent cartoons are losing popularity.
3. Marvel. Again in relation to movies. Marvel movies are killing it right now. The result being that the toy focus is now on super heroes not Transformers. This even applies to the big kids. I was in Japan recently and even the big expensive $300 Marvel figures were sold out everywhere. They even had pop up stores for these figures which were also sold out.
