Retailers learned the "big vehicle" lesson a lot earlier than Lightyear, it's just that every few years they make a halfhearted stab at carrying a few and tend to get burned again.
The "big vehicles" for Star Wars 3.75" (BMF, AT-TE, AT-AT, Turbo Tank, etc...) may be much-beloved now but folks tend to forget that they were Clearance Aisle specials after Christmas every year they were out. Likewise the big Black Series offerings almost universally ended up getting clearanced out to varying degrees as well. We were almost at the point where Toys R Us was the only place carrying larger vehicles even prior to TRU going out of business, and when retailers other than TRU did carry them it was almost always only during the Holiday Season.
