What is up w/ the new line. Every store I go into is sold out. I know this is good news for Bandi and in return good news for us because it will keep the line continuing, but man. I was lucky enough to grab 3 4" figures and 3 6" a week ago and that has been it. I only hope it’s not scalpers trying to boost their evilbay inventory.
Hope some of you are having better luck.
The more sales, the more Bandai will produce, and the more you’ll see on the shelves. It’s only a matter of time till everyone who’s looking for the toys gets them really.
At least your stores have spots for them. All of the ones around me don’t even have space reserved for them yet.
Yep, Now lets hope that Bandai doesn’t do what Mateel did in 2002 with He-man
Yeah its been the same around my area too. Absolutely barren. I like that, at least to see that the interest is there. These toys are literally flying off the shelves. I haven’t seen any real figures on the shelves other than the role play stuff and some Thundertanks. I saw one tygra and one Mumm-ra at one toysrus and that was all that was left. They couldn’t have been on the shelves longer than a week.
The exact opposite in Colorado, Panthro and Cheetara are the only ones flying off the shelves. And to say flying is a slight exaggeration. Tru near our house has almost everything and has for awhile..
What did Mattel do with He-Man, I was not really paying attention to that line back then.
I think he’s referring to the over abundance of the same figures, i.e. he-man variants. There where so many packed in the case ratios that they hung in the stores forever and came to be k own as peg warmers.
I do hope they keep producing the first line for a few months. I’m job hunting so I can’t get them at the moment. Would be nice if they’re still releasing them when I finally find one. lol
Makes sense, I did not pay attention to that line and I don’t really remember any demand for them. Thanks.
Yep, thanks Cougar.
If so, then it’s very possible. I like variants, Ben Tennyson has like 4 or 6 and I like them all basically. Because they make sense and are relevant to the show.
But then Bandai announced this crap. http://www.figures.com/forums/news/13579-bandai-ben-10-haywire-figures.html Recolors for the sake of making a quick buck.
What’s stopping Bandai from going a similar cheap route with Thundercats one day?
No problem. I collected that line and I think it was it’s downfall. I had to resort to eBay for about half of those figures.
