Yes, but aisles of Christmas stuff set before Halloween is normal now.

TF are still popular it's just the lack of distribution that's causing the issue...

You gotta buy a whopping $100 wave of 6 inch figures just to get it, kid.

We're losing losing losing an entire generation of kids who just can't "pocket" such figures. This scale oversight is occurring when comic movies are so popular with kids + parents alike (many of the latter raised on 3.75 figures).

Hasbro proudly showed almost 100 figures for 6 inch scale this year. Yet nothing new for 3.75 inch at Comic Con or NYCC. And yet even more 6 inch figures to be announced at Fan Expo, Italy, and Paris? Hasbro you can try churning 600 different 6 inch figures annually; and still most kids won't fit most of these in their little kid pockets.

That's a great point! About kids not being able to bring the 6 inch with them easily...it is very sad too that they've killed off the 3.75 line when they take way less material to make, instead have given us those titan figures which I still wonder if people really buy those...
