It's also extremely expensive to make 6-inch scaled vehicles, which is why nobody does it really.>Also says, where would something like a Jabba Sail Barge fit on a store planogram if sold at retail-- Target only has a few aisles and they'd have to take a few shelves out just to accommodate the item in Star Wars' limited shelf space? Are they just going to put one on the floor he says, and then have an employee fetch them out of the back like they're a bike? Big Box stores aren't that inclined to gamble on something that large that they might lose money on. And in order to replace a large item on a shelf, such as a bike or a children's slide, Hasbro has to be able to sort of guarantee that something like a Jabba's Sail Barge could sell more units than a slide or bike, and therefore deserves that space.>He says we're very lucky to be getting things like the Thundertank, or even the Haslab toys because they just don't work at retail. And that the cost is simply because Thundercats fans are so small and there's going to be so few made on top of the already high tooling cost. And that the smaller and more niche the property, the more expensive it will be to make items for it, particularly big items, because you're producing under M.O.Q., and therefore the company has to pass along that cost onto the consumer.He ends with saying that something like a Thundertank pre-order is a once in a lifetime item that will likely never happen again, and if you're a fan this is your one shot to get it and then quotes the famous Eminem song lyrics in reference to this.
