It’s very slight, basically noticed next to the new luke trooper. Someone said early batches of the rogue trooper came with yellowed torsos, but I also think I read about previous (before the rogue one version) troopers yellowing. Definitely not cool.

Struck out at Ollie's. They didn't even have the Rogue One 4 pack with Saw and Two Tubes anymore. They had at least 40 of those a month ago. I wonder where a close out store like Ollie's sends their stuff that doesn't sell. A close-out close-out store? Idk. I just wanted Yak Face and maybe a Han for the tools.

I'm not real sure if it's hard to find generally speaking, but around here they put one case out then the pegs sit empty for months.

That's becoming a trend at my Target also. They get ONE case of the newest TVC wave, and if you don't get it within the first 3 days someone else will. Then nothing for weeks...or maybe months.

While not specific to Star Wars it's a good look at why stores aren't necessarily busting their humps to get the toy pegs filled.

I wondered that too. I'm guessing they eventually just clearance it? My location had like 50 of the four packs sitting unsold for like 10-15 months. I asked a manager if they'd cut me a deal if I bought them in bulk and they scoffed at me. Then one day *poof*, all were gone.

There’s really no Erso or Snoke (peg warmers) in any of the upcoming waves IMO. I think most Targets could easily handle 2-3 cases of any given wave.

He also mentions that they sell more action figures to kids than adults. While that has long been true, I think adults are starting to close the gap. Alot of adult collectors have joined the hobby in recent years.

Just went to another Target and all they had was Anakin but the paint apps were crap. So many figures lately from Star Wars and Spin Master DC have poorly painted heads.

He mentions stuff we've talked about on these boards for years, really. I will say, toys are really only a small section of overall sales *If* you also include food sales. If you pull the food stats off that chart, suddenly toy sales make up a much larger portion of overall sales. Hard to compare toy sales to food sales. (I get that he's doing it because they're sold in the same store)
