Final comments

The two main themes in the comments: many thought it was a great year for Transformers overall, but the number of exclusives and the difficulty of getting them locally (as well as general stock levels in our stores) were very disappointing.

As always, thanks everyone for taking part!

Thanks for all the work there PB, I like the full report link for this year.

I'm surprised, but not surprised at the general rating for the WFC cartoons.
And shocked someone would give Sky Lynx a 1 star review!
BLASPHEMY!

Another great result.... thanks Paulbot, and everyone who voted.

I'd say they mustn't own it. Let's face it, Skylynx is a concept you will either love or hate.

Thanks for creating the poll, Paulbot. Good to see an overwhelming number of positive comments about the toys themselves - distribution and exclusives aside.

That's a nice collage of the winner toys

I?m mostly surprised the WFC Netflix shows rated as high as a three, I barely rate them at all but each to their own I suppose
