The Playmates definitely seem to be sitting, though. Especially the 3 3/4".

Excellent question. My local stores were selling figures, ships and playsets at a good clip for awhile. Now they are all just sitting there. Especially at TRU.
Every toy aisle I visit is overrun with Transformers.
I don't expect to see wave 2 in too many B&M stores, if any. There's too much wave 1 product out there. I hope some of it makes it b/c wave 2 for both 3.75" and 6" has a much more interesting assortment of figures than wave 1.

The Walmart in my area, pegs are full of Playmates. The TRU has full pegs of Playmates, but the only DST are some Amok Time 2 packs.
Maybe the producers should have tried harder for a PG rating instead of an PG-13? it might have gotten more kids in the seats, which is the toy market of course. I know Transformers is PG-13, but is established already in kids minds.

TF2 just came out, so it may take a couple of weeks to see an upswing in the sale of the movie line. It took a couple of weeks for Trek to catch on as well. And, in any case, TF toys are always in stores even without a movie, so I don't think people are rushed to get them nor does it seem "new" or "fresh" when people see the movie line on shelves. Trek had the advantage of being off the shelves of the B&M market for a few years, so finally seeing it on pegs was refreshing and eye-catching.

I had to wait at least 2 weeks for the last one Nero (3.75") and I found it last sunday and because we went to the customer service desk and theyed checked the inventory and they got a box out and by
chance there was one.

Now for DST-I really can't say. I like the looks, and the detail, but I don't know if I will buy. Yet.

That city wouldn't by any chance be Baton Rouge?

Where in WA state do you live? I have been to Puget Sound, near Bremerton, and Seattle. I have seen the Darth Maul at TRU here too, i dont think they are selling at all. I have seen them at internet retailers marked way down to get rid of them. I t looks good, but i am not a Darth Maul fan. Now if they had made a Darth Vader instead of Darth Maul, i doubt you would see any of them in stores or marked down anywhere. I dont know why DST makes the decisions it does with figures they make, because they seem outright dumb sometimes and i can visualize them stting there at the office scratching their heads wondering why sales are so poor. How about asking your customers what they want, or at least read a forum like this occasionally.
