Need either high heat or direct infrared sunlight for the chemical reaction to happen that yellows the old bromide based white plastics. Most likely these were in a sealed cardboard box on a shelf in a climate controlled warehouse out of sunlight so never had the catalyst needed to start the reaction.

Yeah, that's definitely the Ziploc bag Acid causing that.
You can just buy acid free bags and use those instead from a whole seller like GTZip Or the bag manufacturing company itself GTBag etc |

At one time I would have pumped this stuff up and got it. Now I don't want to see it in the store cause of all the bullshit he tosses out on here. I'm surprised Lanard has not done a cease and desist order on him for hurting their company.

Everyone here has been kept informed, where to find, and what's currently available, the hard facts are global shipping is still a factor. Online sales are positive, the issue right now is bringing more variety at a time when retailers keep trimming down orders. And to bring more products to market especially domestic, then places like Amazon and other e retail sites are going to be part of the ongoing process. I realize many here feel as though Walmart should carry everything, the fact is Walmart always carried a trimmed down assortment, and as their toy department's have gotten smaller so has the amount of retail shelf space given.
Now I put up the Star Troopers Planetary Defense Team Assortment i.d. that's coming to shelves and online, and there's a few more items coming to stores, Some here will see products on shelves sooner than others, distribution varies across the U.S. and more products will be available online as well going into 2023. Larger items such as The Titan Tank, Beast Bomber, The Rock Fortress, Sky Knight, Gunslinger, Badlands Medic and more will be available and as their links go live links will be posted to assist everyone. Even after explaining I'm sure there will be more negative comments here and those who think that products should have already been here, for those individuals that don't understand what's going on in the shipping industry right now as well as ongoing port issues in China and here in the states it's a real issue. Add to that the Covid lockdowns have continued to put schedules way behind. Even with all that products still have been rolling out, just later than scheduled. Retailers are backed up too, Walmart for example is still behind in it's distribution, usually in fall their warehouses are cleared and ready for winter freight, this year they weren't so products that should have been on shelves at Walmart were late, including Alien and Predator for a lot of stores, and those lines will be phased out as an all new selection of products will be replacing them early next year. And lastly I read some comments about Walmart dot com shipping here and for most, if shipping is an issue I do want to point out you can have products shipped site to store ( free shipping). On items that may be exclusive to Walmart dot com.... Just pointing that out to those who may not have been aware. For more info on all CORPS! Products https://linktr.ee/TheCorpsUniverse

informed of what?
you move goal posts and gaslight us. not a single thing you've said has been true since 2017 (and im being generous because that's when i started to notice your gaslighting). not a single person other than you and that small group of people as crazy as you are are ordering a discout toyline from a website. even your walmart links arent showing up in stores, they're online only. we havent seen time crisis - the first time, and now lanard is apparently 2 more themes beyond that one. you show us endless monkeys, figure packs, and dinosaurs. no one wants that. you blamed a shipping crisis for toys that were already 3 years late. you and i got into an argument because i said ocean state job lots is like ollies and you said they arent, then six months later you turned around and said the same thing i said like it was your own original idea. you live in your own little world. and for the record, walmart DOESNT ship site to store for everything. having spent 200 bucks on stuff to send to colorado for the past two weeks i've had to have it delivered to my house or it be an IN STORE ITEM that i can order and pick up at the store. i've had to chase items at walmarts all over town because they wouldnt ship site to store, and they wouldnt ship it to me. it had to be in stock at that store and that's the only way it could be picked up. i havent seen site to store shipping for anything that was out of stock at all my local walmarts in nearly 2 years. more gaslighting.

Isn't the reduction in toy aisle space and the subsequent cancelation of Lanard product just indicative of Lanard's ability to remain competitive in a changing market? It's unfortunate that the toy industry in general is shrinking due the reliance on electronics to pacify kids and those with limited innovation like Lanard are the first to get cut. |
