Talk:Shelfwarmer
Real Gears move O.K. in my neck of the woods.
Signal flare and Offshoot however, despite their awesomeness, lasted for years.Chiasaur11 03:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not sure the entire Real Gear line could be lumped in as "pegwarmers". I know there's some give and take depending on where you're located, but it's not like there's pegs and pegs of these things just sittin' around for months on end... -- Repowers 03:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- ...well, there are everyplace I've looked since July. I guess it is a regional difference, but if so it's a very stark and extreme one.--Thylacine 2000 13:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say Signal Flare and Offshoot should replace the Real Gears. The Real Gears are moving well, I haven't seen Meantime and the gorilla game controller since I picked up my own. Signal Flare and Offshoot were hanging around well into 2006. --Detour 04:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah the way things went over the summer, I don't think one can objectively call any of the movie toyline "shelfwarmers" in the truest sense. At least in the case of the actual transforming toys rather than all the tie-in merchandise, nearly every store has had trouble keeping them on the shelves.--Rosicrucian 04:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Power-Up is the only RGR who I'd say would qualify as a shelfwarmer. Everyone eles moved and moved well... and I've hit a LOT of stores in a fair few states since the movei-line launch. --M Sipher 13:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Swindle and Bonecrusher in Germany. Seriously. I know I might sound like a broken record, but these fuckers are STILL warming the pegs in half a dozen stores I visited over the past few weeks, and that's more than three months after the two of them first came out. One TRU store even still has TWO ENTIRE SHELVES full of them.--Nevermore 19:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Supreme Cheetor and Alternators Swindle should be added to this page, I think. Also, I don't know if it was only my area that was like this, but the stores in my area were LOADED with Drill Bit and Manterror for years, even after Beast Machines was on the shelves and even after Transquito and BW Scavenger finally vanished. Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart (ESPECIALLY K-Mart), even the GROCERY STORES had these guys flooding the shelves for years. They made it hard to get early Beast Machines toys until the stores finally decided to take them off the shelves. C.V. Reynolds 11:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
