Really? Even when I just walk past a toy department, I rarely see more than a couple of people down the aisles, and they're usually adults, either single men or moms/dads with a small child in the cart. The action figure aisle itself is mostly always a lone middle-aged guy or two, and sometimes a mom with or without a small child. I very rarely see a boy or two in there excitedly looking around like I used to. It was genuinely dead this past holiday season in the toy aisles. And this is Utah, where the families tend to be large and kids are usually goddamn everywhere. Part of that is definitely due to online shopping though.
Honestly, brick & mortar stores aren't really getting in much new products these days, or if they do it sells relatively quickly - for the most part. I agree that pretty much everyone is getting their toys/collectibles online, and have been for quite some time. I even remember the last several years before TRU closed in 2018 (in the U.S., that is) - the few times I went there I didn't see many people shopping for toys. The majority of shoppers @ that store were parents in the Kids R Us section, etc. And, that was a supposedly "dedicated" toy store. Last edited by Doctor Venom; 02-21-2023 at 07:20 PM.. |

On yesterday's Full Force Weekly, at about the 18 minute mark, Chris slipped up and revealed that Retro Duke is coming. Field Variant Duke was classic enough for me (not to mention the Ultimates! version) so it will be interesting to see what he looks like and if Walmart switches back to Retro or they stick with Night Force and Retro shows up elsewhere. And before anyone cries "youtube rumor", Full Force routinely gets information that they are not supposed to reveal, I think they just slipped up this time. Of course a bunch folks had already guessed that we would get Duke in the Retro line, so it's not that much of a surprise.

I wonder if the Retro Scarlet is going to look like the Scarlett Smite skin. Last edited by Bryon; 04-09-2023 at 04:29 PM.. |

Ugh! Hope this doesn't mean they're going to start doing that again! I swear I went through a period from late 2019-mid 2021 where almost every single WM pre-order I did was canceled by them when the items began shipping out (a good 4 or 5 SW TVC items). It hasn't happened to me in over a year now though. ((knocks on wood))

Except I didn't see Destro or Gung-Ho but once, just the females so while I'm hoping they're plentiful it could be tough.
