I kid you not. That is how much product you are contactualy obligaded to move a year to keep a wholesaler account open with Hasbro.
Guess i will be contacting middle men :( thought id share. Now you know one reason why online stores for the most part charge what they charge. They have to pay the middleman and still mark up to make a profit. Freaken amazing. I heard a rumor it cost 5k just to get an account open but had no idea they expected you to consistantly move this kind of product.

that's a little insane, but I can imagine Walmart can handle that with ease.

And we wonder why small business is suffering so badly these days.

Compare that with competing with big box retailers who get exclusives and are able to sell their product at little to no profit, it's always an uphill battle.

Plus, as I stated earlier, WM and Target view most toys as a loss leader. The whole idea is to get you to buy stuff they do make a profit on while buying the toys.

I can confirm it, my friend who runs a shop says it was like 7k - 10k though depending on how much product you order and other factors.

That is just silly. How do they expect a small company to order that much?
