Re: will the new thundercats stuff be sold in stores?

There was a news post on the main page a little while back that the 8" classics had been spotted at a Toys R Us in Hamilton ON. I'm not sure about the 6" modern figures though. The problem with that is that the new cartoon they're based on hasn't aired in Canada yet. I can't see that the moderns would sell very well until then. That being said, the classics would have a small market too, since it would be more of an interest for adult collectors than kids. I believe that's why they're not being carried at every store in the chain.

Re: will the new thundercats stuff be sold in stores?

The market thirst appears to be huge for T-cats of classic and modern persuasion - considering like the Wing Leader said, that the show isn't even telecast here yet. I've spoken to a couple of TRU employees and they've related their observations that it isn't just adult speculators coming in and buying armloads, but all kinds of people inquiring after them. For the most part, Kijiji and CL are pretty quiet on them too.

Fett, have you noticed any of the vehicles/playsets available out there or the 4-inch modern scale figs that are actually compatible with them?

A post in the thread for the initial main page post said that only the 6" and 8" classics are being shipped to TRU at the moment.
The 4" line will be debuting around December.
(You might find some at comic store who order from the US)
