Like Lanard cancelled by Walmart due to low sales. Unlike Lanard 1:18 Joes are available at online retailers like BBTS.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Except when retailers cancel orders nor any news on the new Ollie's exclusives. But you need those monkey's. To spank when they're bad. Few things relieve the stress like spanking the monkeys. Lanard and TK are just looking out for your well being. |

Damn did I hit a nerve asking about Dollar General?
You don't need to tell me Hasbro sucks, Walt. I haven't been buying product from Hasbro for a good long while now. I'm more of a Marauder guy than anything now. Unlike Hasbro, for some ungodly reason I actually want to buy some Corps vehicles still. Too bad they don't show up anywhere near me retail wise, or on a website that isn't going to give me the business through ridiculous shipping costs.

At this point, let's be honest, Lanard might as well be a Smythe Toys exclusive toy brand in all but name. If you live in the UK, Germany, France, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria, you're covered by Smythes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smyths They don't ship to U.S. so you would need to set up an expensive forwarding address operations. Kinda like what many Australians have to do. Why doesn't TK Prime ever bring this up? Who knows. This is how the stuff ends up on ebay btw. People in parts of Europe just buy it normally and sell it on ebay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smyths https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/...text=the+corps https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/...t=primal+clash https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/...s/c/SM06010122 |
