>>11463593>After movie released: Clearance down 50% since no one cared and it floppedThis is generally true for movies that bomb or the product didn't move at all since it was released.
Most movie toylines that bomb usually take a month for them to actually get clearanced. So stuff like Blue Beetle and Lightyear were full price for a while after the movie came out. It's why i never managed to get that amazing armadilo for Lightyear. I saw the movie bombing and i said to myself I wouldnt buy it until it went on clearance.
However, most people saw how great a toy it was and sold out before it could be clearanced off like the rest of the Lightyear junk. So you could only get it from third party vendors for either full price or scalper prices on ebay.
Do note what i said was past tense. So from 1990s til right before COVID was was what iwas referring to. Too many movie are bombing now, even Marvel-shit. And ~2013 is when sales became less frequent. So what you say kinda seems true, but it does take a while for a clearance to happen. Only major shits like the all female Ghostbusters toylline gets clearanced before the movie even comes out.
