Anyone else let down by some of the non-figure related movie stuff?

I was super pumped with the movie coming out, figuring that I would be able to buy shirts, shorts, pj's, etc for my little guy (2 yrs old).

To date, I have seen nothing in his size range. I would have thought I would have stumbled across something by now.

I was able to buy him a plate/bowl/cup set... but nothing else.

Did anyone else find this as the case?

nope, it's just you....
personally, i think they are over milking the movie's name.

Transformers is now like CityNews...It's everywhere.

Exactly, it feels like late 1984/early 1985. Back then Transformers was on every school supply possible (pencils, erasers), there was all kinds of party favors, greeting cards, costumes, bikes (there was a Transformers bike that transformed for kids to ride), soaps, shampoo, lawn darts, everything. Infact, it's possible that the "overmilking" of the movie might even be a little smaller. Recently that 1,000,000 dollar ebay auction of that women's husband's collection truly showed all the odds and ends that existed from the 84-85 era.

There's some pretty cool lunch boxes/bags with lithograph images, if I didn't already have a regular lunch bag I would probably get one
