And then there's the issue where the current retailers just do a shit job of maintaining their toy aisles. From my experience, I would almost find the stuff i wanted from TRU outside of Marvel Legends. They would always be stocked and organized at TRU. The toy aisles at Target and Wal-Mart could be empty for an entire week, sometimes a month, before they send someone to put shit on the pegs. In Wal-Mart's case, the toys would be above the racks gathering dust.
I don't know why we're still at the mercy of the major retailers after TRU dies. The retail landscape is different. The direct to consumer options have improved. I know it's probably some contractual thing with the retailers but it's still bullshit.
