Just like anything else, if it doens't catch on stores stop selling them. Kids (which is what companies are targeting) didn't seem to take to the cartoon or toyline and so stores stopped carrying them. Personally I think that companies are just trying too hard to find the next DBZ/Pokeman/Yugi.

Guess I'll just have to wait until my area's first two Super Targets open and hope for the best.

It really sucks, I used to be able to find the stuff everywhere. But it seems that SD and G Fighter really didn't sell. With Seed I think they're back on the right track, but the only place I've seen them is online and the Aile Striker at TRU several months ago. What's worse is that it's not just Gundam. I've noticed many stores aren't carrying DBZ either. I know it's all about what's hot and what's not, but Cartoon Network having Seed on in a decent timeslot more that once a week would help. Instead Fox and WB are craming Megaman, Shaman King and Duel masters down everyones throat hoping that one of them will be the next Yugi or Pokemon.

Well it looks like Seed figures are going to be hard to come by. Both Target and Walmart have stopped carrying Gundam toys ( I think they feel they got burned by SD, but that's me). So hopefully TRU and K-mart will be carrying them, but my TRU's are in the middle of their reset and K-mart hasn't started.

Right now I am so mad. After waiting and waiting for Seed figures to come out and not seeing them I ordered the Aile Strike w/skygrasper on Monday. So today I'm at TRU just looking and I see three of them sitting on a bottom shelf. No sign of any others, but it figures that right after I order some they show up in stores. So for anyone that's looking for them, they should start appearing any day now.

I'm waiting, but still no sign of them yet. I haven't been this excited about Gundam, figures since Wing and Endless Waltz. Target it carrying the models already and I've heard of reports of some Targets getting Seed figures, but haven't seen them myself.

I really enjoyed all ten chapters and can't wait to see them all in one sitting tonight. Seeing the ARC troppers in action was sweet and I hope Lucas puts them in EPS 3 even if's it just in the background. Now all I want is a Kenobi figure with the clone tropper armor and cloak on him. Maybe I'll just have to customize a 12" Kenobi and trooper.

Sometimes it just takes a while or someone promoting it right. Take DBZ as an example. They had DBZ on a local Fox station playing at 6:30 on sunday mornings in the mid 90's. I saw it a couple times and the show seemed somewhat boring. Once Cartoon network started showing it everyday fans really started flocking to it ( i know what got me hooked was a 4 hour block one saturday night when I was sick). After DBZ really took off and CN experimented with other shows, they realized they had the power to make or brake certain shows.
