Toys R Us confirm Transformers Generations have been dropped

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Toys R Us confirm Transformers Generations have been dropped.

­Following on from the good news yesterday regarding the Kre-O Transformers line, Mike Cicharski has got in touch with us with some bad news if you are a Marvel Universe and Transformers Generations fan - both lines haev been dropped by Toys R Us.

Thank you for your email regarding Marvel Universe and Transformers Generations figures, I have contacted our buying department and they have advised that we have no further orders in place for both of those ranges and that they are being discontinued.

I am afraid we have sold through the remaining stock of the transformers Generations figures throughout our stores nationwide. With regards to the availability if the Marvel Universe figures we do have a lot of stock available in other stores, if there are any specific figures you are looking for we can attempt to locate them and have them transferred to Merry Hill.

Once again thank you for taking the time to contact us,

Yours Sincerely

Have Toys R Us dropped Kre-O?

Rumour - Has Toys R Us UK Dropped the Kre-Os?

This is just a rumour at the moment, as we are trying to get an official comment from Toys R Us or Hasbro, but it appears that Toys R Us may have dropped the Kre-O line ... either that or it\'s just the Toys R us near us.

When I visited our local TRU a few weeks back there was a large range of Transformers products, the newly launched Kre-O range was positioned right at the entrance.  Roll on a few weeks and they are no-where to be seen, their spot replaced by CARS.

A visit to the \"boys toys\" isle was one area of the previous Transformers stock replaced with Power Rangers, and the second area halved in space, with a Buy One get One Half Price offer on.  There was also more Grimlock\'s then even Simon Furman would want.

I wondered around the store checking for signs of Kre-O\'s.  Woudl they be in the Lego section .. no.  Would they be in the discount section .. no.  They were no-where.

So, have you spotted any Kre-O\'s in stores near you recently?  Do you work for Toys R us can official comment on the situation.  Let us know.
