When they came out my mom was working at Kmart so every time new ones came in the people working in toys let her know and she'd put them in layaway so i'd randomly come home from school to a bunch of the sets now and then. Scalpers and short packing are part of why i quit with Transformers as you'd see people at walmart show up with ipads loading their carts with toys they knew were wanted online big time. I saw a 12.00 transformers go for 40.00 because of scalpers and hasbro screwing around.
