>>11013835>selling to 10,000 people is a great thingI don't think you understand the scale of the shit they actually sell.
A normal toyline sells in the mid-100,000s to millions of units per wave. These are the numbers companies like Hasbro are getting at minimum or it isn't worth their time.
The exception are marketing products, like limited editions you see at places like Comic Con, which coincidently, are sold to around 10k people.
As for selling out, that's not much of a feat if stores aren't ordering them in great numbers. We're far away from the amount of pegs GI Joes used to take up in stores in the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s, and 1980s. The amount of pegs shows how much stores expect to sell, which is also the amount of products they're going to be ordering. Having 2 or 4 pegs is pretty bad compared to how much presence the line used to have and compared to anything else Hasbro sells. IT's way under how much product they had up when the Classified line launched (along with the 1:18 figures) and when the Snake Eyes movie was coming out, which is what normal lines should be selling.
The amount of characters they even make just shows how low expectations are. And how many of them are just redecos?
