Admittedly I don’t have the wherewithal to read through and understand all the perspectives being argued.
However, I’ll share this: As a collector, I really like some CORPS offerings and wish they were more readily available. As a dad, one of my sons is into military toys and loves the Curse bad guy vehicles. So much so, that I now pick them up whenever I see them at Walmart or find them discounted at Ollie’s.

LoL. I’ll admit I’ve been frustrated in the past but really lots of lines have harder things to let. This is no different just have to figure out how hard you want to try. It’s a freeing way to look at it. Last edited by Jay West; 01-19-2021 at 01:42 PM.. |

my argument is walt say things for a children's line are getting wide release when they are in fact not.
he then illustrates several ways that require resources a child does not have, to get them because they are not as wide release as he insists they are. then says "you all can get these things!" which require resources a few adults in this thread have said are too much effort for lanard toys. i just want him to say "you know what? im totally wrong. on paper, none of this is wide release as it appears to be. im sorry i am mistaken." but he wont because he has to shill everything that doesnt matter and is obvious is wide release - like some 4 pack set or jurassic clash or whatever the hell who cares. it's frustrating, and i've resolved when speaking with walt, we are speaking with a brick wall. hell, he couldnt even admit that aliens line was off clearance when two people in this thread said "it's not on clearance anymore." he will respond "welp, this is still on clearance here in this place." because that matters in some fashion only to him. in other lanard news: i anxiously await to never actually see the star force line, and only have ever seen the two packs at my ollies which is not anything like ocean state job lot even though it is exactly the same type of store. which doesnt count because it's not like a regular retail store that has a partnership with lanard. i swear, if he's not a brand ambassador wink wink you guys, lanard should give him a raise because i cant tell if he's too good at it or really bad at it and they need to keep him around because no one is working as harder at confusing a customer base than him.

The 4" alien line was In Fact Phased out in walmart, (look across social media, take a few minutes), I'll wait here, as they were phased out for the new 7" Alien and 7" Predator Collections. FACT!
shill....A few Adult Collectors here ( Not All ) are failing to understand that the line is still very much being sold around the world....not solely in the United States, and YES, the Corps! and Star Troopers will see a widespread release domestically AFTER Hong Kong Toyfair....(Have I not been clear on that)??? I have "Illustrated" to those here who are claiming that there's "NO WAY" to get a product that there in Fact Is! - and point of fact kids and adults alike across every social media platform can agree that they can and have been found and purchased. I have provided links for everyone to use to ease collecting, I have provided solid information, and Facts, not lip service, not excuses. Lanard Toys brings customers a variety of new innovative designs and time-tested favorites year after year. There's products at retail now, and More coming After Hong Kong Toyfair...FACT. (To mainstream domestic retailers, not a closeout store). I cannot be clearer than that. For more info on all CORPS!

FACT
you are ridiculous. the aliens line was on clearance, and taken off. it doesnt matter if it was or wasnt to phase it out to throw on the 7" stuff. jumanji never reached clearance in my area, and it stayed on the shelves far longer than it needed to. for someone who seems to believe they have some knowledge of the industry you sure have a great deal of difficulty with simple things like "you dont have to clearance them to take them off the shelves" i worked for KB TOYS. we NEVER clearanced anything. if it was "pennied out" it was to be taken from the shelf, destroyed and then thrown in the trash. many things that had been full price one week, still for sale for full price at toys r us 500 feet from the mall, had been pennied out at my store. one item that comes to mind is some n64 wcw wrestling game. this comes from the head honchos at kb OR the manufacturer. this EXACTLY explains to me how jumanji could linger for so long on the shelves and then be gone without a trace locally. |

The Way walmart does item compared to KB is a different as Coke is To Pepsi.
Every walmart does their items differently when they do markdowns, clearances, buybacks or deletions. Its why right now for you gijoe collectors some walmarts have marked down/phased out the retro vehicles and other walmarts have not, or you mattel MOTU fans, some walmarts have clearanced to move remaining wave 1 he man items and other stores have not. Now as an item is phased out for walmart it has several options depending on bulk inventory. what you consider too long depends on multiple factors, your walmart may be part of a district who's location may have bulk inventory, or returns unused bulk to distribution to be credited as part of certain stores who get credited then that remaining stock is sold off to a 3rd party. Which is why you see Hasbro "walmart" only items at places like 5 below, or some buybacks from Walmart to Ollie's. Again, I know the facts, but your opinion on how long something should be on a shelf is just that...YOUR OPINION. It does matter that Alien was phased, as units are inventoried, and New Stock orders are based on a multitude of factors by stores in any region, be it the North,South,East,or Western United States, or any Country that a Company deals with, Data is collected and department buyers look over data to place orders that vary from quarterly to multi-year FACT. Licensed properties are a different beast with Every toy company, as those sales are monitored be it a shared license or a master license. Look back on Kenner/Hasbro when it merged. Multiple licenses, many lost due to horrible logistics by Hasbro Fact. It's lagging hasbro sales which cost them the Jurassic park license, and their batman multi film license. They lost both to Mattel. Mattel co opted out of the Batman license to keep Jurassic Park, and to get a shared deal with Disney. And Now Spinmaster has Batman. I mean, if we're going to look at how long something is on a shelf look at those other lines right now that have over clogged pegs that haven't moved at all, or were over ordered, don't just single lanard out on Jumanji, I've seen people posting across the country on what's not moving. And it could be contributed to less people going out due to safety concerns, I mean I'll be fair, we are still living in a pandemic after all. For more info on all CORPS!

I am just disappointed that new product isn't out right now. All I see is SpinMaster Batman waves. I want to grab a Willie now not later.
