And I know prior iterations of the Black Series Stormtrooper have been available off and on throughout the years.
For S&Gs, I put in 20 Stormtroopers in my cart for Entertainment Earth...and they clearly had NO issue with that.
While Hasbro doesn't make some of this stuff available all year around, you CAN'T say they haven't made efforts to mitigate the issue. In terms of GI Joe, Hasbro is doing fresh runs of the ENTIRE LINE which are readily available for preorder
RIGHT NOW
for delivery between May and August.
They do.
Collectors are cheap, lazy and impatient. "Produce on demand" was done for the Regal Cobra Commander...and it was about 5 months between the end of the order period and delivery of product. As is, there remains an ENORMOUS fuss over the fact you can't walk into Walmart and find whatever you want right now. Can you imagine the irritation that some people might have to wait 6 months to get their toys?
Hasbro IS making stuff available multiple times, but ultimately it IS up to you, the individual, to keep an eye open for this stuff. Online retailers have weekly newsletters and are MORE than happy to sell you toys. The ONLY thing I can't order anymore are the first iterations of the wave 1 Classified figures (who got replaced by the repaints which are readily available for preorder)
Is that why no one has issues with Target preorders? Why $20 figures are going for $100 on an aftermarket before they even hit general release?
I’m not a lazy collector- in fact, I feel like I spend more time than should be necessary to obtain products with a predetermined release schedule- and still come up empty more often than not. And if stores want me in store and not ordering online, they should go about having the product in their stores.
