I'd say they're preparing for the movie. Once that comes then the toys should start moving faster. But I'm not complaining -- gives me time to acquire them in the meantime now without having to compete with other people afterwards when DotM makes Transformers "flavour of the month".

Any shelfwarming will be the fault of the people who set the prices too high (so high that I've bought four DOTM toys online so far which - even after shipping - were cheaper than RRP.
+1. Overall I think the engineering in DotM is better than TF1 and RotF. It feels a lot less rushed and half-bummed than previous movie lines. There are a few lemons like Deluxe Skids, and Deluxe Sideswipe's pretty ordinary... but on the whole I'm finding DotM toys to be pretty awesome. However I also agree that the pricing of some of the figures is pretty rich... though the good but pricey figures might start moving when stores put them on sale.
