DSTZach Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm not going to make any official statements until there is something official to state. I just didn't want the last post in this thread to be a picture of a coffin. The line is not dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be moving ahead with Series 2 fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 As interesting at the mates turned out to be - it's not really high profile enough to drive sales at a National retailer like TRU. Not too surprised if this one doesn't get a second shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Even though TRU didn't take as many of them as they take of the Marvel assortments, they sold pretty darn well at retail. I've seen the sales reports, and their reasons for not taking Series 2 weren't based on sales performance, as far as I know. But the next series will most likely be specialty exclusive, yes. Hopefully they drive sales towards the local comic shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think it's safe to say that most of us will be buying them, wherever they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the sales reports, and their reasons for not taking Series 2 weren't based on sales performance, as far as I know.Every store I visit received one case, and nothing more. Other than the occasional Vorin pack, the cases sold through very quickly. At 2 per case and most stores only getting a single case, I'm willing to bet the BB TRU exclusives have some of the lowest production numbers of a recent line. Hoping to see more Series 2 details soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 My TRU was "ineligible" to receive Battle Beasts, according to the manager, so yeah, I think we're talking low production numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
