I warned everyone that margins would impact toy sales, Hasbro and other larger companies that kept up demand ate profits and now it's about to cost YOU at the retail level.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/29/busin..._campaign=SoMe You asked why Lanard hadn't put all it's new assortments into place and I told you, it's not excuses. it's the reality of the state of Global Shipping. Some of you want to crack wise on here, and while I don't take anything personally, I do update as much with as much as possible, but I keep getting asked and this has affected Domestic and International markets. Every industry is getting hit that ships and it is a margins based reality. I told you Lanard will not raise its costs, so working with the shipping companies schedules have been pushed, and anyone here thinks it's not affecting Hasbro, Mattel, or any other toy manufacturing company is fooling themselves. Cotswold will get its first assortment as will several other orders that were placed for late fall and early winter, These will still be priced competitive. Some stores will see updates which will include New Primal Clash sets, The Corps!, Star Troopers, and several Licensed lines by lanard. I wish I had more exact breakdowns available, This delay has had some positives though, as you'll see with the upcoming Time Crisis Cyber Series, which will be a key chapter in the overall Corps! vs. Curse story that will bring more characters, vehicles, and more action into the Corps! Multiverse. For more info on all CORPS! Products https://www.facebook.com/TimeCrisisFightTheFuture/ The Official website, MORE Updates will be added soon!

Multiverse. Folks would probably take you more seriously if you took some time to adequately compose your posts. State your argument then use the article as support. Stop throwing in word salads because you think they sound cool. "Every industry is getting hit that ships and it is a margins based reality." That is just painful to read, plus it correlates shipping costs and margins in a way that isn't entirely true. Don't get hung up on the repetitive drivel of morons who can't grasp the concept of a worldwide supply chain breakdown. I'd suggest pulling Lanard's cock from your mouth every so often. It's not a pacifier. You could have made an interesting post without trying to antagonize the folks on a pro-Hasbro board. For example, you could have focused on the common problems then transitioned to a prediction that Lanard will have new product available for the holiday season while Hasbro will be struggling to put toys on shelves. Stop trying to put a stupid spin on things. Nobody is going to think shipping delays are beneficial unless they're in my situation where $3k worth of pre-orders are scheduled to arrive this month. |

Everyone here is now dumber for having read this post. It's like you saw a list of business terms, then put them in a paragraph to demonstrate your accumen without looking up the actual definitions. Margins don't impact toy sales because the sales are upstream of the margins. Toy companies don't maintain or keep up demand because demand is customer generated, supply is company generated. A company's goal is to meet the demand. Nobody eats the profits because the profits are downstream of everything. Your entire opening statement is an unsalvageable mess and makes no fucking sense.
A normal person would write: "I warned everyone that the increasing material and shipping costs would result in price increases for toys. Higher production costs are reducing the margins necessary for companies like Hasbro and Mattel to stay profitable. Those costs are now being passed onto you, the customer." Congratulations! You just discovered the downside to building the entire world's economy on just-in-time-delivery. It's awesome when everything is working, and gets completely FUBARed when things stop working. It's a shame you referenced a rather good article then completely failed to include it in the rest of your post. Folks would probably take you more seriously if you took some time to adequately compose your posts. State your argument then use the article as support.

The toy industry landscape is yet another example of the largest companies winning big and smaller companies losing out during the pandemic recovery, according to industry analyst Neil Saunders, managing director of the retail segment for GlobalData. Saunders said shipping companies cater more to their largest clients, including toymakers Hasbro and Mattel and retail giants Walmart (WMT), Target (CBDY) and Amazon (AMZN). "The bigger companies that have more money, more economic clout because they place more orders, definitely have more scope to mitigate [supply chain constraints]," Saunders told CNN Business. "Smaller chains just don't have that economic power." Honestly, I just don't get why he tries so hard to lie about shit that doesn't matter. I mean, it's really simple: if Lanard gets some stuff into stores, and it's cool enough and priced right, people will probably buy it. If they can't do that, all the bullshit double-talk in the world won't change it.

In other news, there’s still jack chit of Corps product available at retail to average consumer, which will continue post pandemic just as it was for 2 years before the pandemic. I have seen GI Joe product though. That’s so lanarded.

lanard's always pushing dates. walter said aliens was coming to walmart 3 times before it did, and when it eventually did, it didnt last nearly as long as that fucking jumanji garbage. i saw all of 2 jurassic clash figures(which i dont even want, but he talks about it all the time) in a walmart, one walmart.
that was before the pandemic. before. not during. not after. before. then the whole "new product" bullshit he's been pushing every 3 months since before the hong kong toy fair that no one other than him has heard about. i dont give a shit about these secret codes or puzzles that end up not telling a single thing of importance. lanard doesnt get a get out of "you're a fuck up jail" free card because of the pandemic. hasbro sure as fuck doesnt either, because their product pegs were barren in january 2019, just as they are in 2021.

i cant believe how much lanard lets walter over promise and then they under deliver. this is a discount toy company. this is not good for them to do. look at final faction. "bam! great dollar toys! you can get them at every dollar tree! we're making a series 2 now! we updated a figure even though we didnt need to!" no dim bulbs like walter for them either. just letting their product speak for itself. lanard could totally do that if they stopped playing around with walter, nobody 3rd party websites, australia, and pop up calendar stores.

lol I just can't anymore with Walt...like, he cites that article and says all that stupid shit, but he of course manages to completely pass over this bit from that same article because it doesn't fit his nonsensical narrative that somehow, almost magically and despite recent history, Lanard will have toys in stores soon while Hasbro and all the other shitty toy companies won't:

The guys who put 100 containers on a boat every month are going to be prioritized over those who ship 5 containers per quarter. Last edited by Bujo; 08-31-2021 at 08:44 AM.. |

As for the comments about The Corps! Alien, or Jurassic Clash and the past two years... I will address this.
The Corps! "Elite" Walmart offerings were an exclusive assortment of products which included triple pack assortments, faction face off two pack assortments, Single Carded Assortments, Rapid Response small vehicle assortments and a mid range vehicle assortment the last of which consisted of the Titan Tank, and Flying fortress on the mid range Walmart offering. Working with Several licensed properties Lanard also offered a mixture of products that ran parallel with the Corps! Including Kong, Rampage, and Jurassic Clash was rebranded for the US as Primal Clash for Walmart as initial ordering mistook Jurassic for a Mattel allotment - that was quickly fixed but it did cause brief holes in some stores that were scheduled for the Clash assortments. Walmart itself trimmed down its offerings of Primal Clash, as there were several sets that Domestically Walmart did not carry but were offered. even with all the issues if your Walmart did not have Primal Clash on the shelves Walmart dot com offered site to store and home delivery at the same price - As for Alien Collection. I stated that the first assortments would be offered starting the day after Christmas, and reports did in fact begin to show up across social media that fans did in fact start finding Alien on Dec 26th! yes it took several weeks to get into all stores in the distribution network, but that is an industry normal, even when stores have items with street dates some stores are late getting them. I will reiterate that while Walmart opted to not carry "elite" for the last 2 years they did in fact offer two Time Crisis 4-way assault sets, as well as Time Crisis Ultimate collection 15 figure sets and Time Crisis Ultimate Assault battle sets through Sam's Club the past 2 years. And Yes, Jurassic Clash currently has 2 shared exclusives with Amazon and Walmart. With More Jurassic Clash sets coming. You didn't thing the cyber gorilla was the only new offering did you? As for the remarks about Australia, or the U.K. both those partnerships have dedicated toy store chains that carry the Full Lanard range. Lanard has more retail partnerships for domestic customers, Some will be carrying larger items than others, the point is to offer more products and variety than in previous years, a lot of these plans have been slow going, and yes the pandemic and shipping has slowed progress, but progress is being made. I appreciate your patience, I understand for a few of you its going to take you seeing something in front of you, and it's coming both to your retailers and to several online venues. I know everyone here is frustrated and just wanting products to be available, Its being worked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. For more info on all CORPS!
