Link to a toy video
https://youtu.be/O_crrFwA9kQ Informative video about why toys can be hard to find. It's focused on the 6" line but relevant to retro as well. The problem isn't whether the person knows where to hang the product, it's that they don't have any to hang... Last edited by CG23; 01-26-2021 at 11:11 AM.. |

Do they list a location? Where these found over here or still in Hong Kong?

The card back thing a few pages back doesn't mean squat, the wave 2 figures only cross sell wave 2 and wave 1.

Wave 3 was an opportunity to expand the cross sell section on the cardback, but Hasbro missed that, and chose to maintain the status quo for this Retro line. By doing so, the cross sell now “doesn't mean squat”, just as the quinquelingual file cards “don't mean squat” because they’ve been abbreviated to the point that they are now effectively meaningless, or not worth anybody's time to even read. Looking at the 1982 Scarlett cardback, I see eleven figures in the cross sell section. Hasbro expanded that, because the 1983 Doc cardback had twenty figures in the cross sell. The 1984 Duke had thirty figures in the cross sell. The 1985 Alpine had thirty four figures… My point is that the Hasbro employees working the brand in 1982 and beyond saw opportunity, and knew to expand the cross sell area. If it’s true that Snake Eyes is one of the four figures packaged inside the wave 3 Retro cartons, then wouldn’t it be logical to include Snake Eyes among the images on the cross sell? These Retro cardbacks are “disappointing” as some put it, or “doesn't mean squat” as you mentioned.

Has anyone found any restocks after the holidays yet? I have not, and I've been to 5 different stores. I wouldn't mind more Scarlett's for the head and legs. The RB torso is good fodder too.

Last time I was over (a week ago), the entire action figure aisle had been completely cleared out for a reset. I did notice that the pegs which had been empty since wave one first hit stores had been moved down, but not taken away.

I also saw two walmarts get a case each in the last week or two.
