Strangely enough, KIDS buy toys more than ADULTS do.. Focusing on lines like FlexForce and Rumblers is good business for Mattel because it appeals to KIDS.. See how that works? You are right but not many kids go to Toy conventions. And Adam Bomb is right, I think they're saving their big stuff for the bigger more important shows. Isn't NY Toyfair for retailers though? |

Isn't NY Toyfair for retailers though? Yes, same goes for the German Toyfair. It's to see what will be new on the market within the next 1/2 - 3/4 year and order it for your store to sell it. |

I would be interested to see the sales numbers on the Flexforce figures and the Rumblers. I personally haven't seen either of them move that well, which doesn't really mean anything, but they just don't seem to appeal to anyone in my area. I think the Rumblers are really cool, especially for kids, but I don't really see the appeal of the FF figures when Basics are the same price point. I just found it interest that they are still pursuing the FF line.
Thanks for the info.

So instead of focusing on what matters,they show stuff about FF? Strangely enough, KIDS buy toys more than ADULTS do.. Focusing on lines like FlexForce and Rumblers is good business for Mattel because it appeals to KIDS.. See how that works? Then why do every time I walk into a store I saw massive amounts of Flexforce and sometimes no elites and a few basics? I'm not saying kids don't buy toys more, I just don't feel flexforce is worth anyone's time. |

When I was a kid, I hated the gi joes that did moves. I just like plain old joes

Dammit. If Mattel didn't waste money on stuff like FlexForce and Rumblers, we could have an elite Alberto Del Rio with a car and Ricardo and it would only cost us $2. That's the way business works![/stupid kids on here] Seriously though, thanks for the update, Micro. I'm looking forward to the new Rumblers stuff, kinda wishing I didn't buy the original ring now though. |

The rumblers stuff sounds great, is there any chance of pictures showing up online from this event.

i feel that if they would include accessories with the basic and elites like the flex force or made as many rings/entrances that are made for the rumblers and Flex Force that kids would gravitate more towards the basics and elites.

Nothing that interests me really.
I mean FF and Rumblers?
What about Basic, Elite, and Legend Protos etc..?

::)Sounds like there is a few neat new things, probably won't get it but still want to see it. Really sucks that there is nothing about the main lines though, and just FlexForce and Rumblers.

Okay not trying to be a jerk but it's almost like you didn't even read what i said and just had a random reply. Also the legends line is not aimed at kids. If you want more extreme examples look at stuff like hot toys, basically toys but if you think those are aimed at kids then I don't even know what to say. |
