Is Animated selling well in your area?

I see some US fans complaining about Animated figures not selling well in their area, but it doesn't seem to be the case here, deluxes and Activators sell pretty quick... Voyagers, not so much though.

Voyagers not so much - esp Bulkhead...and in deluxes, Blackarachnia, Ratchet & Prowl seem to be shelfwarmers. The stores I frequent are the Scarborough Town Centre Walmart and the Markville mall Walmart & TRU

Either they are, and that's why I can never find them, or they're not, so they don't bother ordering them.

Either way, Animated cannot be found in my town.

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

The voyagers definitely do not move that quick. I have yet to see the leader class in person, and BA seems to be everywhere.

Does anyone know where you can find official sales stats on this kind of thing?

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

The wave 3 voyagers should move quick but I understand why wave 1 stuff isn't flying....hell I only got Starscream from that wave, and OP is rare since he's one per case in wave 2.

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

Ya Voyagers seem to be sticking around, though when Grimlock and Lugnut arrive here I predict they will fly pretty fast. Only other ones that seem to be sticking around are Ratchet and BA, but again I think we know the reason behind this one and hopefully this 2-1 gig gets rid of them quick.

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

It seems to be a close call who's the biggest shelf warmer for the Voyagers, either Cybertron Megatron or Bulkhead.

I think Bulkhead is winning.

Everything else is selling pretty well around these parts.

Cheers!

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

In my neck of the woods, or at least the stores I happen to go to, Blackarachnia is the clear winner. Even after last weekend's initial frenzy of people buying up the 2-for-1 deal @ TRU, nothing was left except a dozen or more BA figures.

Close seconds are Deluxe Ratchet, the Prime vs Megs set, and Voyager Cybertron Megs.

I'm not surprised that most kids don't want a small purple spider in a line otherwise dominated by vehicles, or a $30 toy of something that doesn't look like anything (V. Megs), but I thought Ratchet would move a little better than he currently is.

Re: Is Animated selling well in your area?

Every version of Bulkhead is a shelf warmer here. Which is too bad because the leader and voyager versions are two of the best in the whole line IMO. Activator Bulkhead not so great. BA and Ratchet are pretty warm too around these parts.
