I'm sorry, where's the Hasbro 1:18 gijoe at retail again?
Oh that's right, they switched to 1:12 and are charging fans to "crowdfund" a product that they claim retailers won't carry * at 300.00.... *** but hey let's be fair, so this isn't misconstrued as an attack on what anyone likes, they funded their goal and gave you another version of cobra commander and I will call this right here, and right now, you'll see that mold that you the fans paid for reused at retail, probably as a python patrol hiss through one of their partners. for around 70 give or take a bit of change. but hey, hats off to the hasbro team for delivering. But lanard doesn't deliver? The supply chain breakdown last year caused retail orders on every manufacturer to get canceled, that wasn't a Lanard issue, that was a retailer issue. WOW, if anyone on these boards did any real research before mouthing off **508** they'd know that. And yes, costs have gone up, that's not just a lanard issue, that's the entire industry, Hasbro and Mattel have raised prices by 30% on various products and no one bats an eye, but Lanard prices go up and people lose their minds. Its reality, and we're adjusting to it, and YES, products are on the way to your retailers, and online e-retailers, I've only posted live links, and you want to go and discuss Hasbro international for a moment....NO, didn't think so! But hey, how about those OLLIES G.I.JOE offerings (See second attachment) Quote:

And by the way, that 8 pack on Walmart.com that’s $54, last year, the Sam’s Ultimate 12 packs were under $20 each, if I remember correctly. You do the math, but that’s a hell of a lot more than a 30% increase. So again, I can walk in a local store and buy Corps products for a reasonable price, you let me know. Remember what you said in 2020, we want products, not excuses. And we’re still waiting on all of those domestic retailers we were going to see.

I might not be on the 6 inch band wagon but how can you compare the hiss to any thing Lanard offers? And hasbro has stuff on the shelf Lanard has nothing worth buying or things from twenty years ago. You attack them cause you know Hasbro is 10x better then Lanard.
Same with Supply chain issues. You been using that as a excuse for years now and as far as I know a lot of toy companies do business in the same countries. I have been getting pre orders earlier then expected but yet according to you the supply chain is still clogged. I think that is bullshit.

First off let's explain this price increase is not a simple supply chain issue. It's a order quantity deficit. For those who understand this great, but for those that don't...the more a store orders the more of a discount is given on that order to a retailer. Some stores eat those costs because once they have customers in a store they buy other items that exceeds above the costs. Department stores order the bulk of their toy orders during the holidays! Walmart orders a very large quantity and that translates normally to lower prices. Not always as currently many companies are bulk shipping assortments through palletized displays for short term quick sales. And for the record I have kept everyone informed. This whole "Ollie's exclusive" nonsense. Ollie's bought the cancelled orders from multiple retailers which is why they have had many of the reallocated products that were earmarked for last year's and the year before's standard release.
One thing you got right, Lanard isn't Hasbro, Hasbro, Mattel, and many others are larger with more personnel, but here's that hard pill Those here don't want to swallow. Hasbro raised costs far higher than necessary. Even when they have higher orders, some of those costs are license related but even taking that into account Hasbro has steadily increased prices. Go back to star wars back Round right before or during rebels. High articulation then they cut articulation offered it lower then raised that to the before..higher articulation price then re introduced the high articulation figures at an even higher cost. Lanard, the chief domestic retail partner under contract only wanted licensed products so that's what's been offered it was Walmart that cancelled Time Crisis domestic releases and Walmart never carried the full assortment regardless of what many here thought. Walmart carried single carded, 2 packs, 3 packs, a mini rapid response assortment, and usually a mid cost vehicle assortment. Now during this whole mess revisions on the contracts were an ongoing dilemma then Covid crippled Supply Chains as well as it shut down most of Lanard in Hong Kong which even with all of that Lanard brought the Top Gun anniversary set, 4 way Assault sets, Sam's club sets, aliens and predator. And now bringing products to shelves and to online...are prices higher right now? Yes Will prices stay high on Lanard products? No! I will continue to put up product live links as they go live. I understand everyone's comments, and perspective. Fans just want to find products and have them readily available. Everything that is going on behind the scenes right now is bringing that to you, the fans and collectors. As more products hit retailers I'm sure a lot of this negative discussion will disappear...or it won't. But I know fans and collectors are going to be thrilled as products hit.

And next year, people will still be asking when they’ll see this shit in store shelves. Then we’ll get some links to buy dinosaurs and monkeys. Rinse. Repeat.
