I have still not pre-ordered Road Pig. The more I look at pics of him, the more I dislike his face sculpt. Am I being too picky? I don't mind the lumpy body... but the face sculpt, which I originally thought was fine, has not settled well with me.
Same with Alpine. The more I look at Alpine - the more I think he was sculpted by the same guy that did Falcon's original headsculpt. |

I'm not so sure that's an accurate statement for an "all encompassing" analysis. Sure some of it sells horribly, but the very reason some can't find it is because it's selling through. Especially if they discounted an older wave and the newer wave arrives on that same, adjusted discount. There's also the issue of stores not getting the product out in a timely fashion, so that when the product actually hits the floor, it's several waves behind and doesn't sell (so they ignorantly let it rot on the pegs while sending the newer product, sitting in their distribution centers, to discount retailers). That's a distribution issue that's been plaguing B&M long before the pandemic. That's not even addressing stores like WalMart who might have Classified available online, but don't ship it to a lot of their stores, so you'd never see it there, anyway. Frankly, lots of reasons, but "selling horribly" is limited to a small, very specific aspect, not the whole.
All of these factors combined is makes these things sell horribly at retail. The industry is way too specialized with too many other entities getting these out the door before these giants. The customer is also at fault because nobody wants to wait and will throw their money at whomever gets it first. The speed, service, quality of shipment PLUS so much more contributes to this. |
