>>8465604They care and they want the inventory but gone are the days where uss flagg, AT-AT, and 20inch+ Robots fill all the toy isle. Usually it's just smaller scale and places like Walmart and clearly locking into a $30 or less style inventory.
>toy aisles aren't even worth stocking for most chainsDisagree at least here in the states, most stores are filling up in inventory otherwise why are Walmart and Target even locking in so many exclusives? Both did a hard past on the Haslab Sentinel and Unicron but still made bids on the Cobra Island wave as well as Walmart fighting for timed exclusives like MOTU Origins. They see the worth, it's just you'll likely never see a market where a table sized toy battle is worth the floor space in stores.
