Its that time of the month when it pleases us to be able to bring you not only the latest batch of NPD Sales figures, but also other information on how Transformers has been performing as a property here within the UK.
First up, Easter. Easter fell early this year which lead to a increase in toy sales with double digit growth in the Action Figure sector. Transformers continued to perform well, despite a significant drop in the number of figures available, though it was Ben10 that out shined all other action figures with its sales over the Easter period accounting for 1/5 of the entire category!
Here are the sales charts both for March as well as the Year To Date. Transformers are marked in bold
