Interesting observations at TF toy shelves
Hi all,
For the past 2 months, I've been checking out the TF selection at Toys R Us, Walmart, and Zellers in the Greater Vancouver area whenever I can. I noticed the following patterns:
1. Cybertron sells out faster than Classic
2. Kids seem to favour Cybertron over Classic
3. Parents seem to favour Classic over Cybertron
4. Kids & Parents favour Cybertron & Classic over Titanium
5. Cybertron Ape Optimus Prime, Rex Megatron, Demolisher does not seem to be the last to sell out.
6. TF "jets" sell out faster than "animals"
7. Cybertron Scout class sell out faster than Cybertron Legends
8. Cybertron Excellion sells out first before Smokescreen & Downshft
9. Cybertron Scouts sell out in this order: Clocker, Brakedown, other "bikes" (such as Hightail, Lugnutz), "animals", Ransack GTS
10. Many Cybertron Primus are available for sale despite being clearance priced at $ 39.98 at Toys R Us.
11. Classic Hot Rod (Rodimus) sells out faster than Bumbleebee & Cliffjumper
12. Cybertron Leader class sells out in this order: Galvatron, Optimus Prime, Metroplex
13. 6" Titanium Rodimus Prime sells out before Optimus Prime and Starscream
14. Ultra class sells out in the following order: Wing Saber, Sky Shadow, Menasor, Cyro Scourge
15. Classic Voyager Megatron sells out faster than Optimus Prime and Jetfire
Would anyone like to confirm or disagree with my observations? Or are these observations only valid in Vancouver, BC? Would anyone like to share their cities' "sell out" tendencies?
