Remember coming across Alternators Nemesis Prime in some tiny Toyworld in a 3-shop town in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, the 'dumping ground' thing can work in our favour, but that doesn't help the stress levels of folk who are really hanging out for specific toys. Earlier this year I came across a DOTM Cyberverse Soundwave toy that I didn't even know existed in the toy section of a supermarket in Bendigo. Was thrilled but if I had known beforehand the figure existed and had really wanted it I would have been totally ticked off. And of course the dumping might not happen in places where the fans of these toys live.

It's a real shame for the older fans and collectors that the G1/IDW inspired line of Generations will take a backseat to the Movie Generations, though I suppose from a retail point of view it makes financial sense to the companies. They are likely to sell a lot more Slug toys over the next twelve months than Tailgates.
