The simplest way to explain the difference between Walmart and International toy stores is how much devoted shelf space is alloted per product, International marketing has larger brick and mortar stores with way larger toy departments. I agree in theory that Walmart has more buying power, as they are the domestic major buyer for lanard, but they only allocate a small section. And that's the issue. Walmart has advantages but it has disadvantages as well.

No, but I can tell you a little about the upcoming Star Troopers line.
Star Troopers will have several Battle Packs with removable helmets for the figures. Other than the returning Apollo capsule there will be several Ground and Space vehicles. While I can not go into specifics just yet, Know that THIS team will indeed have something to battle! There is a Huge New Vehicle that has electronics/Lights & Sounds. And will be available through Walmart here stateside. the closer we get to release know that I will have the Press Pack pics up as soon as Lanard clears it. I appreciate the patience. I can tell you all by the pics that I've seen that many of you who liked the S.T.A.R. Force brand back in the 90s will love this new incarnation. It captures the spirit of the original and goes further with all new adventures.

I would love a drop ship, but based on the Fisher Price APC, I would hate to see what it would look like. Plus we would never see it stateside...

EVERYTHING From the Alien Collection has been readily available through Walmart. And that will continue with wave 2 later this year.

I just got the APC today. I do the like graphics and the color of it. It really goes with the one from the movies. The size though turns me off. If they would have went with the size of some of the other vehicles they did in the line like the beast bomber they would have hit it out of the park. They might have honestly even competed with the hiya APC. That and the figure. Overall, though it is a cool vehicle and good for the kids to play with. Lanard just needs to up the game with the figures a bit.
Now the figure. The marine that comes with the APC would be a awesome figure if it wasn't such a piece of dollar store poop. If they made it more detailed, more poseable, and a better mold it would be awesome. I was picturing this guy being made using MTF parts or joe parts so might have to try.

It's a challenge, but lanard is keeping the lines affordable, and now more than ever that is important.

I bought a bunch of the Lanard "dino riders" from 2 years ago but don't want the figures. I was going to toss them up for sale somewhere but I have no idea what Lanard figures go for, as they're not usually sold loose. Anyone have any idea what I should ask/expect to get for 'em?

without weapons or incomplete, 3.00-5.00 There are exceptions, such as the mounty, or exclusive store ethnic variants, or the home depot set or a few other exclusive sets. Vehicles are a bit trickier as some are currently international exclusives and it's supply vs demand, so that is a FLUX- Situation, that we all hope will remedy itself out once the COVID-19 pandemic levels off. I hope that my explanation at least helps.
