But did they get stuck with the Adventurers overall or was that an isolated
store or two?
In Tas, the Chrome Castle and the Adventurers sold equally well, and fast,
in all stores (so did the Technic duo packs). I did come across the odd
leftover set from both Chrome and Adventurers up to several weeks later but
that was in places that had previously sold out within days. To non-AFOLs
the themes were equally popular.
As for the mini Bionicles (Toa, Turaga all the same to me :)) they didn't
even arrive until 3 weeks after the catalogue sale (at least in the stores I
checked) and when they did arrive all gone in less than a week (can't say
precisely how long, I've managed to avoid Bionicle fever). When I spotted
them they can't have been on the shelf any longer than 3 days, and there was
only Whenua* (black) and the tan one left.
It's good to see that Lego at my local Woolies (Purity and Roelf Vos have
been renamed now) sells equally fast even when _I'm not_ buying in bulk :)
