Could it be that TRU no longer has an account with Hasbro because they're not buying the necessary minimum any more? They would then have to go through some middleman like Everest to get their Hasbro product, which means a higher wholesale price which leads to a higher retail price.


Just a theory... it could still just be greed / price gouging or some mix of all of it.
Man, I'd love to get some input on that. It's a weird theory but it has legitimate possibility. We've all seen how piss-poor the TF distribution has been. I'm not as in tune with Star Wars/Marvel, so I couldn't say there.

I mean christ, in the lower mainland, it doesn't matter which TRU. They are still hanging onto SS Demolishors and a couple other old shitty toys nobody wants. They barely stocked Kingdom. We'll see what happens with Legacy. They're certainly not getting the stock they once did.
