>>11610193Ross is a nation wide chain. They carrying 99% of the same shit across 50/49 states in 2000+ stores. They have centralized distribution centers, which ships shit out to their stores that they get from other places in the country. Hence people reporting the same toys showing up at their stores from one end of the country to the other.
They're not a remainder store, which deals with returns/damaged/clearanced shit that didn't sell in regional areas and specific stores. Ross, Marshalls, TJ Max, Burlington Coat Factory, Ollies and others get their stock from distribution warehouses, not individual stores.
>>>11610192 It doesn't matter what you think should be desirable figures based on your impression of the IP.No shit? Hence me mentioning actual popular characters that have gotten multiple releases and redecos, because they were proven to be desireable figures before.
>you're gauging me inaccurately.Nah, I think i pegged you completely correct. Here you saying Sgt Slaughter doesn't matter because he blue. Or Crimson BAT doesn't matter because it's red. Do you know how many fans don't actually give a shit? In fact, redecos like that used to be super popular.
You can argue that trends change, but it's weird that it only happened when they changed the scale.
Still, you're ignoring the fact that popular characters are no longer desireable, despite being nearly identical to their past popular selves.
> But that just isn't my experience at allSucks for you, but the fact that there's thousand of these types stores nation wide, more than there ever were of ToysRUs and Target combined, means a literal ton of stock was commonly found. The fact remains that nearly every single GI Joe figure has shown up at Ross/Ollies/etc, due to selling poorly, despite stores lowering their orders year after year after year.
Also, modern internet is shit. Tons of videos showing all the different types of GIJoes you can find at Ross vs way fewer pics
