Sales would have been higher in BC if we had something to buy other than wave 1 of PRID and FOC

Re: Hasbro Says Transformers Sales Were Relatively Flat In The 2013 1st Quarter

I'm still trying to figure out why 2 different yet EXACTLY the same Foc SW's were released at the same damn time. Why did your sales blow? First off, if regular Voyager SW isn't selling, Soundblaster won't either.
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 hope they fired the genius who whipped up the product distribution plan for the 1st Quarter... I think anyone on this board has more knowledge regarding what will sell and how to sell it.

Ya know, I put BH Predaking next to Energon Scourge and...what a size difference. Predaking is more like a Preakid compared to Scourge. I know they are cutting costs by making the figs smaller but man oh man that is too much of a difference. Was Energon Scourge the same class as Predaking is?
