Fuck Walmart, but shame on Hasbro for giving them more exclusives. They screwed up everyone since TBS 3.75.
I remember that. On one of the Star Wars sites a fan/collector from Mexico sent picks of and end cap overflowing with Island Journey Rey’s too. The member wrote that, there were so many just peg warming that they were marked down, much to the rage of American collectors who had yet to see the figure state side.
I’m willing to give Hasbro a little slack on it though. I think they took a bath on their high end Star Wars liscence the past couple of years. Not to reopen that conversation, but I think Hasbro was just looking to turn a profit for 2019 and would take any retailer they could to get in the green. I suspect that’s why the bulk of new 4” line is vintage.
But yeah I agree with Walmart. I give them no quarter.
So far I’m happier with Hasbro’s Pulse that I was with HTS.com. They seem to be more collector oriented, in terms of shipping with care, pre orders etc. Hopefully in time we’ll see the bulk of the exclusives offered from Hasbro directly. I’d prefer to see the manufacturer get the profits than a middle man anyway. Especially if it means better availability to the fans who want them, rather than seeing them not appear on pegs, fans pay out the nose on the black market, then retailers dump them onto discount stores and label the brand a poor seller, while they never put the stuff out to sell in the first place.
