I remember the tru kids line. If it is the same one I remember not long before they started going down the crapper they had like a pirate ship, elves, some ninja stuff. I always wanted them to release like a ninja dojo playset but they never did. The figures where crap though.

They have the Elite Force up-armored Humvee and the tracked missile launcher on Amazon too and they often go on sale there. They're both awesome toys and a good deal.

*by ordering from flybynight calendar stores' websites!
your sidemouth talk is easily predictable because you've been going at it like this for so long. i wont believe a SINGLE word you say until i see a gryphon on a shelf of a domestic retailer. a real one. walmart. target. and i still wont fucking care, because i wont buy a single corps proper thing until i see a gryphon. i sincerely and truly do not give a shit about jurassic clash.

im telling you, the biggest, most dumb as shit thing lanard ever did was release a great 4" aliens line and then inexplicably size it up to 6 or 7" scale with even less figures. the 4" xenomorphs are awesome. worth full price, and even more at the clearance price i have a freaking table covered in. i'd have kept up buying them as they showed up. and a predator line? i'd have been into that too. but nope. gotta make them 6" because. christ, they had something that basically printed money for them and they decided to scale it up, and bring back another line no one really cared about and shit out a story that never existed and claim it did.

Guess they were trying to capitalize on the 6" market like everyone else, though I'm not sure Black Series, Classified, Marvel Legends, DC, MOTU or Apex Legends collectors really go for them. I may be wrong, but they are sadly collecting dust at each Walmart I go to... at least around here in Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Minnesota...I hope they scrap 6" and stick to the 1:18 scale because a Predator would be cool. And...if they brought back single packs of 1:18 Alien and Predator those would fly off the shelves.

I LOVED the Alien line! They were well sculpted and articulated (for the price, at least) and the wacky colors made them even more fun. I didn't mind that the APC was too thin or even those 5-POA Total Soldier figs (I felt they were just accessories anyway). I bought a TON of them and the biggest slap in the face was the whole bait-and-switch of "wave 2 is coming! Just wait for wave 2!" only to find out there WAS NO wave two but an entirely new line of incompatibly sized figures.

I'll happily address this. (Since it is a numbers issue) Go Retail group has 1,000 kiosk and inline stores each year in the US alone. those "flybynight" locations as you put it had skystrikes and gryphons for 2 years in a row. Now to be fair to everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, Lanard has been working with Walmart, and several other large retailers to have as much product presence as possible. When I said widespread retail, I meant just that. Several Large Retailers. I have shot straight with everyone here. Fans want to see more products at a wider available and easier obtainable way, Lanard's two largest factories are still not at 100% capacity and yet even with the challenges Lanard has products prepped to ship out in under two months for widespread Domestic Retail (that includes walmart) Star Troopers, Alien, Predator, Jurassic Clash, and The Corps! have assortments which fans and collectors will see on domestic shelves. I know it's been frustrating for many, As Domestic collectors are only interested in what is sold stateside. Lanard brings products to over 96 Countries, with various assortments, unique packaging and fun products. So when I say Lanard has a worldwide presence know that I mean worldwide. But for those here in the states it's been a process to get back to larger assortments, and now thanks to various domestic partnerships more products are coming than ever before. Domestic sales had weaker consumer support and had to be strengthened, and Licensed products while not for many collectors helped achieve renewed support. Working with Walmart/Sam's Club Lanard had kept the Corps! on-hand during the past 2 holidays even though they weren't on dedicated assortment, while licensed lines by Lanard were. Now working with those partnerships Lanard has Multiple non licensed properties set for distribution. Bringing the Corps! Star Troopers, Jurassic Clash and more to Domestic shelves. No one is talking out of the side of their mouths. This has been a process, and one that Kids, Collectors, and Fans of all ages are all gong to benefit. Products will hit shelves starting later this summer, with more joining in the fall. For more info on all CORPS!

I just saw Time Crisis' social media blitz on Facebook. I pray all of these are coming to the US. I need a few Gryphons, Titan Tanks, Centurions, and 2 Rainfires. I can't directly link to their page due to work servers blocking social media, but check them out if you can.
EDIT: I don't know why these just got posted to my newsfeed when they are almost 2 years old! Sigh...I was hoping those were official US announcements. Last edited by forcehunter; 05-25-2021 at 03:47 PM.. |
