that's good news. some of you have said you're TRUs are running low on skull jacks, so if KB toys is behind, you can pick some up there.
it's kinda like a backup safety net

[glow=aqua,2,300]Well, the main thing is exposure. The line needs more and more people to see them on the shelfs and to build line recognition. If they start seeing these things at several places they might decide, "Man, I keep running into these toys and they look cool." "I think I'm going to check these out." You know once they open them they are going to want to buy more.

[glow=aqua,2,300] Well, the main thing is exposure. The line needs more and more people to see them on the shelfs and to build line recognition. [/glow] I couldn't agree with that more. Thus the reason I keep expanding the Xevoz section a lil bit at a time. I figure if I add in 1 more peg of figures every week or so no one will notice and I'll eventually be able to take over Gundam and possible Knights of the Zodiac...once I get past them I have to contend with Star Wars but from the looks of them lately it won't be much of a match  For me the rest of the stores getting the stuff is kind of a double edged sword. I'm happy that other retailers are picking up the line but at the same time I liked TRU being the only place that had them. It ensured that people would make their Xevoz purchases there which meant we would constantly be getting new stuff in. As is we got 3 cases of Master Modifiers in today, same old Sledge and Inferno though  |

[glow=aqua,2,300]But you don't know how luck you guys are to get any master modifier cases in at all. The people in my town would love to have any at all. I ran into a sexy looking mom the other day when picking up a Razor Claw booster for my brother as a Easter Gift (he's 22 years younger than I am.) She's thumbing around and says I guess we have all of these in a dejected sort of way. I told her that our TRU just didn't carry the whole line. There was 2 deluxe figures and two exclusives that they didn't currently stock. I then told her to check out Amazon.com for her other needs. I also told her series two would be out in a few weeks. I hope I see here roaming the ailses again for more new Xevoz purchases.

i just think that it's good that kb has got at least something of the line so far... with them showing up at target and now kb (at least online anyway)... i just hope that the line itself does well... and the more places selling them the better...

As is we got 3 cases of Master Modifiers in today, same old Sledge and Inferno though [glow=aqua,2,300] TRU, in my opinion, will still do okay with these since most of the markups are only minimal over the competition. The big thing to me is I think they need to get a better type of Xevoz exclusive to draw people in. The promo packs were okay, but nothing special. I would hope if they were to get more exclusives for the line they would be something more interesting for collectors and kids than repaints. To me, that is what makes TRU exciting. They need to have cool stuff no one else is carrying.

KB's website has different buyers than the brick-and-mortar stores, so we might not actually see these in KB's. Hopefully yes though - the more the merrier! Unless they raise all the prices, as they sometimes do.
