Every chain in America will have entire walls full of movie toys. (Meijer's, Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Hasbro Toy Shop, Amazon, etc)
The TF Movie is being hyped though the roof. Also, it's the only thing that will make Hasbro money in 2007.
Ever notice how many TMNT toys are on the shelf now? Remember Batman Returns? Even the freaking Superman kick flooded shelves (and still does today).
On the 4th of July, the biggest movie of 2007 arrives. Trust me, there will be more than enough to meet consumer demand.

The movie characters will DRAW adults back into their childhood. They'll see Optimus Prime and say ... "that's not the optimus prime I remember".
They'll find it, and want it due to pure hype / nostalgia factors.
It only takes 1 TF to gateway into the rest. I can vouch for that ... so can everyone here.
You just need that 1 cool figure to blow open the flood gates. At that point, expect for the Hasbro vs Takara reissue rules to apply to the value of the figure in question.
(If Hasbro did it, Takara didn't ... it's worth more. If Takara did it, Hasbro didn't ... it's worth more. If they both did it, it's worth less across the board)
