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.

TBS 6″ Series Figures Cheap at Ross

Full divisions of Snowtroopers are marching in for the ridiculously low price of $3.99 at Ross.  If you’re looking to army build General Leia Organa, she’s even cheaper at $2.99.

Personal Note:  In general, is supply of 6″ figures exceeding demand?  With 5 Below stores drowning in figures for $5.00 each, very little retail distribution of a ton of figures from The Last Jedi, deep discounts on this line’s vehicles and deluxe type figures, are we seeing some warning signs with Hasbro’s “bread and butter” line?

Hasbro Still Working on Getting The Barge to UK

For UK collectors trying to acquire the Vintage Collection Sail Barge, be assured that Hasbro is still pursuing a way to distribute it in that country in 2019. There has been alarm recently that it wasn’t going to happen at all. Hopefully we’ll hear something by Toy Fair 2019, if not before.

Thanks to UK resident Ashley F. for the updated info.
