No, I think I will say what I want to say as long as it is within site rules. You personally accuse me of trolling. Didn't Alex just say to refrain from personal attacks? I am not taking your bait.
Alex? Am I wrong?
You're all wrong, as I asked you to give up.
Seriously, it's hard enough to keep track of the news as it is without getting reports about a conversation that could be highly constructive.
Next posts going against this we start giving warnings.

It's perfect for kids. They collect things just like we do. The most popular things over the past couple decades have been things like Pokémon and Bakugan, all of which are collectible (gotta catch em' all and all that) and are supposedly made better by owning more of them because of their gimmicks.

Yeah, I could understand this kind of response from kids who bought the Titan Guardian figures, but even the Power Ranger Megazords with all the articulation of an average G1 Transformers toy are fun to play with.LOST Cybertronian wrote:shockblast2 wrote:I have asked children myself and the response I get is "they don't do anything".
Which is what is wrong with kids today, no imagination.

Or at least, the pre-RPM molds are, since it was that series that Bandai of America started creating their own Zord molds that were cheaper and less sophsticated than the Bandai of Japan Super Sentai molds that they were importing for all PR series before RPM, though the Zord Builder system is fairly cool, but I digress.

Are the Generations really selling out, or are the stores just not putting them on the shelves/ordering enough of them from Hasbro as a means to focus more on selling the AOE toys?Killerewok wrote:I don't understand why people cling to this idea that the toys are not "made for us" or that we represent a very small number of fans. Go into any Walmart or Target and look at what's on the shelves. TONS of the AoE stuff that was meant for kids... 1-step, Power Battlers, Flip-n-Change... that stuff is all still sitting on the shelves. Generations are getting REAL hard to find at retail, because THAT is what sells out. Whether it's us or the scalpers, it's for the same market. Heck, my Walmart doesn't even have a permanent peg for Generations because they move so fast.
