I think IA has a lot of inventory out there with some pieces already showing discounts. The new pieces like Megatron with roughly a $270 increase in the larger scale? Transformers are just not flying off the shelves at these prices even though I think IA Transformers are the best representations of the G1. Not to mention space hogs. I saw the Optimus by PCS with the animated look and it sux. I am all for IA continuing on but without a movie, or comics, or cartoon to drive sales, they are only for the true fans. But at these prices and sizes, the financial well is running dry.
If IA wants to stay in the game, they need to focus on the smaller scale at an affordable price point and less base. Get in front of the statue supply glut and discount those big pieces now! Sideshow and those other guys already have firesales pretending to be special events (aka Spooktacular).
