    I can't say Animated is flying off shelves near me, although it is moving better than the movie junk like the screen battle packs.

    SD, if there is anything you want me to keep a look out for, send me a PM (:

    My local Kmart has 8 leader class Brawl's for $95. These things have been on the shelf since the movie release! I makes me sick, then they fill up the TF stand with key rings and those die-cast 3 pack things. (sorry, these apall me so much I haven't bothered to learn their names.)

    I've seen one animated TF Prime Megs two pack and NO universe items. Thank heaven's for online shopping!

    I have not been toy browsing that much in the past couple of months but from what I have seen, Animated isn't moving all that much around my area either.

    But I do agree. There is like a tiny spot dedicated to Universe and Animated and all the rest is shelfwarming movie figures.

    Maybe all this leftover stock will lead to more sales/clearances to get rid of it all?
    (Which will hopefully include discounts on Classics 2.0/Animated... )

    I wonder if these movie figures will be on shelves until interest for the sequel picks up, then Hasbro can sell them all then while people are waiting for the 2nd movie's toys to reach shelves???

    The movie toys ends when TF2 movie comes out, me thinks... but then the retailers will probably have a massive sale to get rid of the old stocks.

    K-Mart (and Myer earlier) were the only ones that have been trying.to do so. They did it twice before Animated was released, I believe, and they still couldn't move the stuff. All the Australian retailers got shafted bigtime by having stock the US didn't want after the peak of the line (ie. last Christmas).

    true indeed...

    think they need to reduce it heaps (maybe to their buy-price)
