Last week the deluxe and regular Xevoz were in completley different sections, now they're together along with the 2-pack. The section is huge though. There's a bunch of pegs and then shelf space for the 2-pack. I hope the second series shows up soon.

it's cool that TRU will be giving the series more space! if they would have done that with stikfas i'm sure it would have taken off more then it did. but anyways i too hope the second wave comes semi soon... not too soon because i'm broke but semi soon so i can get some money  Your_Number1_Fan |

Very cool news. The Xevoz section at my TRU is still pretty limited.
I agree with #1... I think if Stikfas had a fair shake in the deal they may have enjoyed more of a success. My TRU has only ever had a single case of the Knight/Stallion kit. Two of those four kits are still there. I'ver seriously considered, on more than one occasion, snatching 'em up just to move them.
I'd love to see Stikfas enjoy greater exposure at the retail level.

Yep - my TRU has been updated (with regard to the logoed Xevoz Plan-O-Gram).
A couple of each of the basic figs.
One each of the deluxe figs.
And a dozen+ 2 figure packs.
It really is right there on Hasbro row.

Encouraging. Would have been nice to see Stikfas get the same treatment... Enough whining about Stikfas though...this is a Xevoz forum, isn't it?  I'll be out huntin' with the guys on Sunday morning...I'll have to make sure we swing in to TRU and check things out. |

Aggh. Be darned if I can find them in TRU here in the Pacific Northwest, let alone buy them on sale. What aisle are they on? Lego? Action Figures?

I guess it would depend if your favorite store has received the re-configure treatment they've been giving the stores over the past 2-3 years.
No idea where they might be if your store is still in the old "straight row" configuration.
All the stores in my area have been made into racetracks -- the Hasbro row shares a wall with the R-Zone (video game area). Depends if your store is a left or right configured store. As you round the corner, Transformers are the first thing you hit. In my area, Xevoz is next (where the Bandai Gundam stuff was during Xmas).

All right, thanks for the detailed description, Gordon -- it actually makes sense to me. Unfortunately, no Hasbro toys in the Pacific Northwest.  The transformers are there, some other stuff... I'll continue to keep an eye out. |

In Delawarem the TRU has a pretty big section for them. When I went today to get the remaining ones I didn't buy the other day, they where nearly wiped out. With my purchase, I think one sledge trooper, on grim jack and a few rangers were all that was left. I'd say about 15-20 sold between today and yesterday. However, my TRU had atleast 20 units of the two pack.

They gave us less then a 2 foot section for Xevoz at my store but it's right next to the Zoids that are being clearanced so I keep taking more space from the Zoids and making the Xevoz area larger ;D Scored big earlier this week, my manager told me to put Stink Blasters and Mucha Lucha on this little island up by the registers. We didn't have nearly enough stock to fill the whole area so Xevoz was added to the display as well. Unfortunately those stupid Stink Blasters (11 sold) are selling better then Xevoz (4 boosters and 1 two-pack sold) but at least they're up front where everyone sees them  |

Gotta love phase changes...every year TRU "reorganizes" the store to supposedly make room for new stuff. Basically they cut some sections down of stuff that's not popular anymore, expand sections for new and popular items and just screw up everything in general  Stink Blasters are to me not very exciting but kids love them for some reason. We get like 1 case every other week and we've sold out of them within a few days. You can check them out at www.stinkblasters.com |

[glow=purple,2,300]Basically they are like pepperspray dispensers with stinky gas in goofy characters sprayers. I can see why kids like them. at 6 or 7 I probably would have too. I think Xevoz might be a bit to high of a price point to get a lot of kids into it. I hope I'm wrong about that.

it would really be nice if xevoz were lower in price, but it seems like all the figs are going up. or maybe i'm just used to my mom paying for them.
stink blasters seem pretty gross to me, but little kids love potty humor.
