Next step. Nothing new on shelves. This is pretty much the end all be all of the problem. When Winners and Marshalls is carrying your end of the line Prid toys, sales are bound to be low when only THEY have it. I still want Vehicon and Rumble!
Thirdly, you waited too long. Stores waited too long. There was a MASSIVELY LONG wait for anything new, and not just Transformers. Hell, we are wave 2 of GI Joe Retalliation and I have a sneaking suspicion that I wont get a Jinx figure. Lady Jaye, I can do without, but Jinx I still want and NOT at insane SDCC prices. Joes, Marvel, TF's, Star Wars...all forgotten toy lines. I was lucky enough to find ONE Republic Commando but it is like we won't ever see it again. What the hell Hasbro?
Anyway, flat sales are due to poor distribution and no rotation of stock.
I may be wrong, but I still think FOC toys would have done better IF released with the actual game.

I agree with you. I'd like to add I'm interested in the FOC SW and Soundblaster mold but no matter how cheap they are I really dislike the dumb colour choices they made by adding splashes of red or yellow the red is more tolerable than the yellow. I see the Takara ones and I'm willing to pay $60 because they don't have that putrid yellow! Plus wave 1 of anything is always too big now since the movies. I understand having to have a Bee or Prime in the wave but maybe split them up in the case of PRID one in wave 1, one in wave 2. I really don't want Bee to kill the line and it seems like he is lately. I'd like to see Hasbro step up on the colour choices and see how they do. It worked for me on the early Prid line. Plus as a kid it bothered me that TF's were not show accurate colours, to me that is how I really identify with a character.
