>>9419832>Which are wrong. There is no such thing as a premium price when retail spaces order stuff.I didn't say it.
In fact, this was my response to people saying there was a premium like that
>>9417331>Where do you guys get this shit?The only "premiums" i know about is when they're actually using different shipping, directly to stores, in the case of hot products. Yes, i know, Walmarts and Targets almost never get shit like that and i only say "almost" because some managers MIGHT independently do shit outside of the chain. Other (chain) stores aren't as penny pinching though.
And the premium i mentioned isn't a premium, but just plain ol' promises to order X amount to gain those exclusives.
> Again I would like to point out that an item that can only be found in a single retail space is to create a scarcity. Full stop, nothing your assumptions can do to be hard facts that an exclusive is a way to make more people buy something that they know won't sell to besides a niche group. Lemme just point out that Walmart ≠ Hasbro, and Hasbro has to make a profit by selling shit. This means there's minimum orders that Hasbro has to get in order to get a toyline produced to be sold to retailers or else it gets canceled. So Walmart may not be making a ton of money from these toys, but Hasbro is raking in billions in profits because of Walmart/Target/etcetcetc ordering their toys every single year. When producing toys EXCLUSIVELY for Target, in order to make a profit from these figures being sold in limited quantities, either hte price needs to go up for these figures OR they make it up another way, such as order numbers.
So I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're overlooking shit to come up with your statements.
>tell that exclusives often are bought cheaper.You mean like CORPSHIT and McFarlane's RAWlines? Yep, those toys OBVIOUSLY cheaper and sold at a greater profit.
Also, fuck this halloween theme. completely fucks up with how i can read shit.
