Transformers were number 3 here last Christmas

According to a retail statistics agency called NPD, as noted in an article in this month's Toy & Hobby Retailer magazine, Transformers made it to number 3 in the Action Figures category during the November-December Christmas period here last year.

Toy sales at Australian Retailers during that period were apparently down, but only by 0.5%.

The top sellers during that period in Australia Retailers, from best sellers first...

Action Figures - Spiderman, Toy Story, Transformers, Star Wars, Monsuno.
Dolls - Barbie, Monster High, Lalaloopsy, Disney Princess.
Games - Monopoly, Angry Birds, Uno, Twister, Guess Who.
Outdoor - Nerf, Razor, Wahu.
Building sets - Lego City, Lego Star Wars, Lego Friends, Lego Creator, Lego Monster Fighters.
Vehicles - Hot Wheels, Disney Cars, Mario Brothers.

That's pretty cool, we beat sw! Mind your that bloody spiderman merch is still clogging shelves badly especially in target and TRU :( taking up 'prime' real estate.
See what I did there ;)

Probably due in large part to all the clearance sales of shelf-warming DOTM toys.

That'd be my guess too. :o

How on Earth can Spider-Man action figures be the top seller? They were garbage.:confused:
I'm sure Hasbro will be counting all the Bumblebees that sold over Christmas so they can make more for this year.:)
