Re: Rippersnapper & Snarl on walmart.ca ...
I gotta agree, more and more it feels like the toy industry in North America relies too much on big blockbuster time and rarely stocks the shelves during most of the year. There's the huge push in Summer with Movie Lines hitting and taking over until Spring next year, and then most of the new stuff comes out just in time for Christmas.
It isn't like it used to be where you could actually find product on shelves, ten years ago Transformers and Star Wars were easily found in mass quantities. ten years later for a good chunk of the year the entire toy section is clogged with unsellable junk peg warmers, returns from parts swappers (who are complete asses) and other useless junk that stores only keep around at full price because otherwise their shelves would be completely empty, as the case seems a good 75% of the year.
It is not a good time to be a toy collector and the worse it gets the more I wonder how much longer we'll be able to get NEW product and whether or not it's even worth it to keep buying.
The fun, excitement and wonder has finally died and the people in charge of buying product and selling product just seem to think that the toy industry should die so they can make more shelving space for their digital electronic gadgets and junk.
It's a sorry state of affairs when there isn't enough product available for longer than a few days for everybody in the country.
