Serious question. Summer is here, early Hong Kong Toyfair is over (right?) so where is Willie?

There will be plenty of sets offered by Lanard to Cotswold as an ongoing partnership. There will be around 20 products shown at the show. More products will be offered going forward. This is just the beginning. I hope everyone sees this as a positive, as Lanard wants to give fans, and collectors more options with a wider variety. More products will be hitting, keep an eye on the boards, as images are cleared and allowed they will be shown with release dates. Just as with the JoeFest announcement. For more info on all CORPS!

ordering discount toys online and paying for shipping is not a positive.
why is this so difficult for you to understand? these are "grandma will buy these instead" toys. |

That's a very narrow perspective.
Online sales are a very positive approach to bring a greater variety of products than what could alone be offered at just a brick and mortar store. And the shipping costs are minimal, this is just the start. Fans and Collectors asked for more options,and that's happening. There will be products through multiple partnerships, this is good news. You personally don't want to order, that is your point of view, this is about expanding options to bring more products and variety to all. It's not just a positive, it's good business. You'll soon have more options than ever. And for those coming to JoeFest definitely stop by the Cotswold Collectibles Booth. The fun is just beginning. For more info on all CORPS!

Its dumb to pay more for shipping than the toy is actually worth. Why order a 5 buck item from Australia and pay 30 to ship it?

Cotswold Collectibles is in the United States not Australia.
This partnership will allow Fans and Collectors more variety. This is a positive for everyone who has had difficulty locating their favorite Lanard products. This is just the beginning.

Cotswold collectibles can kiss my ass too.
Ive known about that company since 1999, and have still never paid a single cent to them. I dont plan on starting over toys that should just be at Walmart. |

I mean, I SHOULD be able to go to Walmart and at least have the OPTION of finding a majority of the mass retail products Hasbro makes (Walmart being a mass market discounter). But my little shithole store doesn't carry 1/3rd of what stores an HOUR away stock. Do I pay shipping, or do I drive 45 minutes to an hour in the HOPE I can find something? Hell, Walmart carries dozens of exclusive items in Transformers and GI Joe that my store has never, and probably will never, get. tkprime's pandering aside (and I'll wait and see how things shake out), if Lanard IS making these efforts to bring their products to more domestic online venders...I'm not sure what else you want them to do. They can't FORCE Walmart (or anyone else) to carry stuff, and other venders aren't going to sell this crap at a loss. It's ultimately up to you whether these products are worth paying cost and shipping to get...but it's getting pretty clear nothing said is going to satisfy you.

If I can get this crap online from a store that isn't Wal-Mart, I'd be happy with that. I don't like paying shipping...but I also don't like paying for things from Wal-mart (mainly because their online store is just awful). The more places to buy these things the better, brick and mortar shops would be nice and all, but that becomes an increasingly difficult situation as toy aisles shrink more and more. This costwald place my not exactly be my first choice to buy things online, but it's a start I guess.
Something I been curious about though, is tkprime an actual employee of Lanard or is he just a really zealous super fan? Either way, the very stubborn insistence that "everything is fine and dandy" just feels off putting, but I still don't see the need to get all uppity with him. Even for a company as....lets just say big...as Lanard, toy distribution isn't exactly an easy business to be in these days. |
