Nobody bought the Roman Auton...

[thedoctor'sbrother]

Have you noticed how whenever you go into a toy shop there are loads of Roman Autons, Smilers and Francescos. They are definitely the least-selling Series 5 figures.

I think its because they were the wave that hit shops just before christmas so there were excessive orders from shops but they didn't sell.

Yea i think that's about right, but there were just too many of them. They are selling though. (Slowly)

If they get cheap enough, a smiler army would be quite cool.

They are selling, but for rediculously low prices.

All of the shops I go to only have smilers and francescos. I rarely see roman autons.

Nope they came out the week beginning 23rd October. Believe me I spent £25 on these piles of crud. Well swap Auton for Prisoner Zero.

I got one Roman Auton. Wouldn't mind a few more...

That's still "just before Christmas" from the point of view of the toy industry, Parents who are wanting to avoid the CHristmas panic will be doing there shopping around then and Wave 1G came out in very early November so the shops ended up with two lots of figures that nobody was wanting to buy large amounts of.
