come to think abt it .. they (re:Hasbro) are smart ..
see the response from the ppl now ... they are WILLING to spend ..
if from day 1 .. they have lotsa toys .. i doubt ppl will be that crazy now ...
they let u have the feel ... of nearly not getting it..
then they release it .. sure u buy more than u expect ..
Re- Hasbro - i think this phenomenon is localised in a few countries only. And I don't think it is Hasbro's strategy to sell a bit, then see response.... then release again. Hasbro would have made a survey based on its past sales of other movie toy lines like Spiderman, Fantastic Four etc and then adjust manufacturing accordingly. Each country then submits a stock request to the factory based on projected demand/sales. I guess Hasbro Malaysia underestimated the effect of the movie, before movie can find berlambak everywhere, after movie nowhere to be found... the recent restocks also Gone in 60 seconds!!
I go to Bangkok for work quite often, the Transformers Toys berlambak but got many more choices. But I don't buy here because the retail prices here are at least 30% more than Malaysia. It was also reported that HK and SG berlambak.
So the culprit is...... Hasbro Malaysia for not doing proper sales projection!! Should have emplyed a proper market surveyer that interview the Transformers junkies like in this thread!!!
Added on July 27, 2007, 12:09 pmJust want to add to the Bangkok Transformers topic, although sales is slow, but it is picking up the last week. When the movie started, no one touch or layan the Transformers shelves, there were hundreds (berlambak) BB74,jazz. swindle, ironhide.. etc on the shelves, Now only left a handful, like 5 of each. But if this was Malaysia, that wouldn't last 1 hour.

ps-no BB08 in Bangkok at all!!
