Final Rant of 2018
Last evening, I stopped by my local Walmart and naturally went into the toy section. The Star Wars scene at this store is essentially the same at every Walmart and Target in my area.
I love this hobby, but am so frustrated by the current direction of the merchandising. Almost every time I see people for the past year looking at Star Wars stuff, it ends the same way… with the potential buyer shaking their head and walking away.
So I decided to post a new rant in the forums and threw out some ideas on how Hasbro/Disney could potentially start making Star Wars toys that their retail partners can have more confidence in selling to the public again.

TVC’s the Season… of Pegwarmers
Here we are just a week before Christmas, and Walmart and Target stores are stocked to the gills with TVC that launched 9 months ago. And Walmart continues to get even more of the initial wave in.
How many figures did Hasbro produce from this wave anyway? How can 2019 be a successful TVC year when they shoot themselves in the foot right out of the gate with mostly repacks? Why aren’t there barely any sales or pricing rollbacks on these at retail? Share your thoughts here or in our forums.
