Stupid question. Where do the peg warmers all go? Not just Joe..but anything for that matter...you see newspapers and conveiniant store owners sending magazines and stuff back to be sorted and recycled..
Where did all the Piolet Scarlett and Para-Vipers that sat on the pegs for ages at target go when the RoC stuff was comming in? It gets taken back..but then what? Same goes for waves of figures for any toyline...what happens to previous unsold waves? |

They go from the major retailers to the discount stores and sit there forever and ever.

Great question, I'd like to know, sometimes they don't seem to show up. And wasn't there likely 25th stuff sitting in warehouses when the roc switch came. I haven't seen any single cards at any discount store other than the canada cards at tuesday morning and I heard it happened a little at tj maxx but not around here.

Yeah, I guess TJ maxx and ross and such, but even they don't discount it so much that all that unwanted merch sells. For example those SRO packs that went from TRU to Ross and big lots, they're @ 9.99 per pack, I don't even want to spend that on them, then what happens? I assume they're either disposed of or donated to local charities. Much like the Mattel retail stores in El Segundo, CA and in Texas do.

Very doubtful there was 25th stuff in stock rooms. Retailers stopped ordering in Janurary so the stuff would be gone by August with RoC.

Ok..then when Big Lots, Marshalls and every other dollar store cant get rid of them..then what?
1. They go where my childhood dog went to live "on a big farm" 2. Recycled 3. An incinerator...for no apparent reason. 4. 3rd World countries..... Any of these sound reasonable?? |

Closeout stores.. they'll try to sell em.. then eventually trash. Some stuff skips closeout stores and goes to trash early.

Good answer
To be honest, I'd like to know what happens to them after they sit at the discount stores to long as well, because I know they don't sell them all.
