I tend to agree with you. Went by a local store on Wed and the CM told me Robots have not been restocked at that store for over 3 weeks. Ordered 2 blind boxes yesterday with the 25% coupon.Originally Posted by Wheezy

The Disney Store I go to still gets them in stock. There are a bunch by me and I'm not sure about the others
"He's trying to drown us! What kind of act is that?!?!" "An act of mercy"
The store by me has never gotten a restock on any series that they've sold out of. They sold out of Robots in a single week, and since then have not received any more. Ditto Urban 7. It's very disappointing.
I really love Salvage Bot, but traded him away for a Jafar chaser - been hoping he'd come back into stock online, but it seems unlikely.
I don't think our store ever sold outSorry to hear they're so difficult to find in places. They should spread the supply around better than that.
The store I always go do gets them in and then doesn't have them for a few weeks. I went to another one by me last weekend and they didn't have any Robots. My guess is they arent limited but they also aren't massed producedI don't think our store ever sold out
The nearest Disney Stores in my area have not had them for awhile, but if I drive farther away, I tend to find them. I think that's part of being in SoCal... they just seem to be so popular here. Still, the distribution is pretty wonky amongst the stores from what I hear. I assume each store receives stock based on sales and popularity, so that probably factors in as well. I went into a store the other day (not local) that still had plenty of 9"Rafiki and Simba combos. Go figure.
So I gave in and bought my first two Robots boxes. Got Ignition Bot and... Radio Bot!! So glad to get the one I was looking at the most!
Now I'm hoping to get a few others when I go to the Seminole Town Mall (first time!) Saturday. But is it true that Robots is now a retired series? Hope not...
Finally Completed my set!!! The only one I was missing was communication bot....and i refuse to buy more blind boxes so i got it off ebay and it arrived in great conditions!!!!!
I've got a whole set minus the chaser, and no one wants anything to do with it. This was the first set I got really excited about, and the first set I completed, but I'm a little sad that it seems like no one else likes it...

I like this set. When I first saw it, I was going to pass on it. But, then when ds.com had a sale awhile ago, I got a tray. I'm keeping this set. They look great, all together, in person.
In terms of demand, keep in mind that anyone who wanted them probably got hold of them. Like iVinyl alluded to, they were up on DS.com massively discounted for weeks. If I didn't already have the pieces I wanted from Robots 1, I would have jumped at that deal, as I suspect many people did.
Honestly, I'm still kicking myself that I didn't pick up a tray just to use as cheap traders for the park.
The Disney store near me has the 9 inch for $25. I got the reflector bot, but I'm not so crazy about the other two. Still, I think I should pick them up to complete the collection and they are at such a good price...
Blind boxed a radio bot on first try. Good feeling
I pulled the trigger picking up a whole set + chaser from ebay. They are going for really cheap. Why does there seem to be such a disregard for this set? I feel that it's better than some urban series with the artwork... and they're all ROBOTS!
