I understand what people are posting, but perhaps there is greater variation between certain stores? I can't see any evidence of shelfwarming here on the Gold Coast. The latest waves of activators are all gone. The latest wave of deluxes is selling reasonable numbers. Bumper battlers are almost all gone, even after a new wave. Voyagers are still high, but that's perhaps more due to the economy and price point. Target exclusives of the Voyager+2 Legends packs are gone and I'm really annoyed as I wanted to pick some of them up (bloody kids, thinking toys are for them!)
