I wonder how much of the problem is that Hasbro keeps having day and date release for a half dozen or so figures. Then every single store loads up on these half dozen figures and nothing moves.

What difference would it make if Hasbro released 18-24 different figures at once on a Force Friday? Would that improve things?

Hasbro, please release a Rogue One 3.75″ Imperial Troopers army builder pack. It could be an exclusive for TRU or Amazon, for example. It should have 6 figures of the following: two Deathtroopers (the one from the two-pack and the single-card), two Scarif troopers (ditto), Tank driver (same as from the Jedha 4-pack), and AT-ACT pilot.

K2 is one of those figures that I’ve only ever seen a couple of times in stores. He seems to get snapped up pretty quickly, even now, as one of my stores clearly got in a few cases with him a little while ago, only to have them fly off the shelves again.

That said, I also hardly ever saw Hask Thug and Unkar Plutt. Not never (like, say, Ackbar), but enough times to notice that he was showing up, but was getting bought at a pretty brisk rate.

Then you have dead-in-the-water duds like Constable What’s-His-Name (arguably due to the fact that he’s NOT IN THE MOVIE) and that weird Goss Towers guy, who just looks boring as heck.

I think it’s hard to make those kinds of generalizations. True, troopers do tend to move pretty quickly, too. But what’s true for one movie may not be true for the next.

My local targets have nothing but Jyn and Cassian. With the exception of the AT-ACT driver. And Walmart is the same around me

In reply to LaurenceQuint. I get this impression that Hasbro have determined that the non-human/alien characters don't sell well with children. What sells best are soldiers (Stormtroopers, Imperial troops), droids, and some of the main lead human characters. Look at the first two waves of single-carded Rogue One figures. Notice also that the two-packs have an Imperial solider paired with a non-human/alien. (The exception is Baze.) So Hasbro may have been using the Scarif Trooper and Death Trooper to help move non-human/alien characters that they believed would have been peggers had they been sold single-carded. Rogue One only had one starring droid. Lately I cannot find single-carded K2, but Walmart has plenty of the three-pack with K2.

In reply to Caleb Wise Gray. I see much has changed since I moved from the area. New product was almost always plentiful and hardly ever peg-warmed.

In reply to Joe Eversole. I wish I could tell you to make the drive to Louisville, but it would be a waste! Seeing lots of the 40th anniversary figures in our Walgreens' though!

In reply to RumSleg. Yea because I think I did the same thing, and now they are falling off the pegs for $5 a piece!

Yeah, my local Walmart has hundreds of Finn and Han but all I’m looking for is Cassian and Shoretrooper. Guess I’m not getting either of those. Also Comment below your dream line up for a 3.75″ wave.
