Something I've been wondering about, which may have an impact on Transformer stock levels is this:
Shortly before the Siege Toys arrived, a new stockline appeared in both Big W and Kmart, Fortnite toys and both stores put these next to the Transformers section.
I think the presence of this new stockline halved the available space for Transformers, so could it be that they didn't order as many to allow for the new items?
Me personally, knowing what I do about Fortnite and the unpleasant behavior it triggers in it's junior playerbase, if I was a stockmanager, I'd refuse to stock their merchandise on ethical grounds.
If you're curious, I learned about what it causes from gamer parents, who stated that they'd prefer their children would not play this game.
Think about that for a minute, people who enjoy gaming are telling me they don't approve of Fortnite.
The flaw with the Inferno Combiner toy wasn't something BigBadToys could fix, Hasbro basically packed the wrong combiner modules with him and when I insisted on a replacement, they just sent another mispacked toy and considered the case closed.
My next step was to take him back to Kmart and get my refund.
